ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is testing a new treatment called FluBHPVE6E7 for women who are infected with a specific type of human papillomavirus (HPV), known as HPV16. The main goal of the study is to learn about the safety of this treatment, how well it is tolerated, and how it stimulates the immune system to fight the virus. Women aged 18 to 49 who have confirmed HPV16 infections and meet specific health criteria may be eligible to participate. These criteria include having a cervical test that shows no signs of serious issues and not having any significant health problems that could interfere with the study.

Participants in this trial will receive either the FluBHPVE6E7 treatment or a placebo (an inactive substance) without knowing which one they received, as the study is designed to be unbiased. They will be monitored closely for any side effects or reactions to the treatment. Additionally, participants must agree to use reliable birth control during the study and provide informed consent, meaning they understand the study's purpose and what it involves. If you're interested in participating, it's important to discuss it with your healthcare provider to see if you meet the eligibility criteria.
