UCIRVINE-2002-2758, NCT00091130

Objectives

  1. Compare the effectiveness of SGN-00101 vaccine vs placebo in reducing the human papillomavirus (HPV)-16 viral load in patients with atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASCUS) or low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (LSIL) of the cervix with persistent HPV 16 infection who are at increased risk for developing a high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion or invasive cervical cancer.
  2. Compare the natural history of HPV-16 viral load in patients treated with these regimens.
  3. Compare the effect of HPV-16 variants on viral load response in patients treated with these regimens.
  4. Compare the relative effectiveness of these regimens on the regression of cervical cellular atypias (based on Pap test results), in terms of the regression of cytologic findings of LSIL and ASCUS to normal findings and resolution or regression of colposcopically defined cervicovaginal lesions, in these patients.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome(s)

HPV-16 viral load

Secondary Outcome(s)

Natural history of HPV 16 viral load
Effect of HPV 16 variants on viral load response
Regression of cervical atypias (i.e., regression of low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance) to normal findings

Outline

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study. Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

  • Arm I: Patients receive SGN-00101 vaccine subcutaneously (SC) on day 1 of weeks 1, 4, and 8 for a maximum of 3 injections in the absence of unacceptable toxicity or the development of an invasive malignancy or serious illness.


  • Arm II: Patients receive placebo vaccine as in arm I.


Patients are followed at 12, 24, and 52 weeks after the last vaccination.

Note: The purpose of most clinical trials listed in this database is to test new cancer treatments, or new methods of diagnosing, screening, or preventing cancer. Because all potentially harmful side effects are not known before a trial is conducted, dose and schedule modifications may be required for participants if they develop side effects from the treatment or test. The therapy or test described in this clinical trial is intended for use by clinical oncologists in carefully structured settings, and may not prove to be more effective than standard treatment. A responsible investigator associated with this clinical trial should be consulted before using this protocol.
