Active clinical trials for "Papilloma"

Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection is the most common sexually transmitted infection in the world. It is currently estimated that 4.5% of all cancers worldwide are attributable to HPV, representing 630,000 new cases per year. HPV is responsible for more than 98% of pre-cancerous and cancerous lesions of the cervix and vagina and 88% of anal cancers. Although prevention of HPV infection has been available since 2007, there are approximately 3000 new cases of cervical cancer in France each year. Women benefit from organized screening for cervical cancer. HPV is also responsible for anal cancer in more than 90% of cases, mostly caused by HPV 16/18. Its incidence is lower with 1162 cases in women in 2018 but is increasing strongly (+88% in women since 1990). As with cervical cancer, there are precursors to anal cancer: high-grade intraepithelial lesions. Early diagnosis of these lesions could potentially reduce the incidence of anal cancer, but there are still few data in the literature. The prevalence of anal carriage in patients with a history of cervical dysplasia or cervical cancer is estimated in studies to be 20% with a risk of high grade anal lesions of 8%. The relative risk of developing anal cancer in women with a history of high-grade cervical lesions is about 5 per 100,000, 15 per 100,000 for those with a history of cervical cancer, and 42 and 48 per 100,000 respectively for women with HPV-induced pre-cancer and cancerous lesions of the vulva. The different means of cervico-vaginal screening: screening samples: HPV test, cytology, some biomarkers: double labelling p16/ki67, E6-E7 mRNA and clinical examination with or without colposcopy (examination of the cervix with a magnifying glass) are used at the gynecological level but also at the anal level with as examination: simple anuscopy and high resolution anuscopy. Some scientific societies have established surveillance algorithms for certain risk groups, but there are no clinical practice recommendations yet for women with a history of gynecological HPV-induced lesions. A proctology follow-up protocol for at-risk patients is proposed to patients based on cervico-vaginal surveillance recommendations and data in the literature, pending clinical practice guidelines. The frequency of these examinations depends on the patient's age and the existence of other risk factors for the development of anal HPV lesions. Depending on these elements, follow-up is proposed every 3 years, 5 years, or annually. The objective of this work is therefore to propose proctological surveillance to this population considered at risk, according to age, smear results and HPV test.

This is a retrospective cross-sectional study involving the analysis of Cancer Registry Data. As part of this study, cancer registration data collated by the National Cancer Registration and Analysis Service (NCRAS; the national cancer registry in England), via NHS Digital data access request service (DARS), will be analysed on all female patients aged between 25-90+ years in England with a registered diagnosis of anal and vaginal and/or vulvar and/or cervical cancer and/or high grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL) between 2001 and 2019. For these patients information on age at diagnosis, ethnicity, deprivation, performance status, stage of the cancer at diagnosis, the date of each diagnosis, the treatment received for the diagnosis and the route to diagnosis, will be analysed. Additionally, the total number of women/year (between 1995 and 2019), in England, aged between 25-90+ years with a diagnosis of anal, vulvar, vaginal and cervical cancer as well as their respective HSILs will be requested. Together this data will be used to establish the incidence of anal cancer and HSIL in women with genital cancers and/or HSILs, the progression timelines between the different pathologies, as well as identify relevant sociodemographic risk factors in this patient group.

CoRDS, or the Coordination of Rare Diseases at Sanford, is based at Sanford Research in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. It provides researchers with a centralized, international patient registry for all rare diseases. This program allows patients and researchers to connect as easily as possible to help advance treatments and cures for rare diseases. The CoRDS team works with patient advocacy groups, individuals and researchers to help in the advancement of research in over 7,000 rare diseases. The registry is free for patients to enroll and researchers to access. Visit sanfordresearch.org/CoRDS to enroll.

For the identified groups of patients (survivors of childhood cancer and youth with sickle cell disease) the investigators want to better understand the barriers to, and facilitators of, HPV vaccination. Through HCP interviews the investigators will also assess both attitudinal and logistical obstacles to HPV vaccination. Some subspecialty HCPs may believe, for instance, that it is the primary care provider's responsibility to vaccinate or they may be unfamiliar with the requirement to enter vaccination data into CHIRP. Also, in some cases HPV vaccine may not be readily available in subspecialty clinic locations and/or subspecialty HCPs may not be Vaccines for Children (VFC) providers. Participants: the investigators will focus on two patient groups: survivors of childhood cancer, which includes children aged 9-21 years who have completed active therapy for cancer and are eligible for vaccination, and sickle cell disease, which includes children aged 9-21 years with a diagnosis of sickle cell disease. The investigators will recruit parents of children aged 9-21 years and older adolescents aged 18-21 years. For pediatric patients, the investigators selected a lower age of 9 years because HPV vaccine is licensed down to 9 years of age, and an upper limit of 21 years, as that is considered the upper bound of adolescence by the American Academy of Pediatrics. For patients 9-17 years of age, only parents will be interviewed by video or phone because parents are the vaccine decision-makers. For patients 18-21 years of age, the investigators will interview both young adults and their parents, because, while the young adult has legal decision-making capacity, in reality, the decision is frequently made jointly by the young adult and parent, and older adolescents are frequently unwilling to go against their parents' wishes. All research procedures will be conducted in English. Participants will be excluded if they have an intellectual disability or severe medical illness such that they are unable to consent or to understand the questions.

This research study is studying a surgical intervention to rule out the presence of cancer in participants that have been diagnosed with flat epithelial atypia (FEA) or intraductal papilloma without atypia (IPWA) by core needle biopsy.

We are the missing link in clinical trials, connecting patients and researchers seamlessly and conveniently using a mobile health platform to advance medical research. We make it easy for patients to contribute to research for medical conditions that matter most to them, regardless of their location or ability to travel.

Human papillomavirus (HPV) causes the most prevalent sexually transmitted infections in the world. The nonavalent HPV vaccine (9vHPV) provides protection against 9 high-risk HPV serotypes, responsible for causing approximately 90% of cervical and other HPV-related anogenital cancers, as well as 90% of genital warts. The risk of cancer is substantially increased among immunocompromised patients. Although studies have demonstrated seroprotection among children and adolescents, boys and girls, with the 9vHPV vaccine, the immunogenicity of this vaccine has been poorly explored in immunocompromised children and adolescents (including transplant patients, and those infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)). Several factors, including the immunological consequences of vertically acquired infection, immunosuppressive therapies and age, could lead to an increased risk of infection in children and adolescents who are immunocompromised. Lower immunogenicity in these populations. These children may have a poor response to vaccines and therefore require additional doses. Markers such as CD4/CD8 or torque teno virus (TTV) replication could be linked to immunogenicity and thus serve as predictors of efficacy for routine clinical practice.

The Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is well established as the primary causative agent in both warts and cervical cancer. Although cervical high risk HPV (hrHPV) infections have a high rate of spontaneous resolution this takes time and the infection can cause cervical cells to progress to precancerous and cancerous lesions. Zinc has been shown to play a central role in immunity. This study is to determine if oral zinc sulfate can improve clearance rates of high risk HPV versus placebo.
