ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new vaccine designed to help protect against Human Papillomavirus (HPV) and related cancers. The vaccine, called Hansenulapolymorpha, is being tested in 1,800 females aged 9 to 26 years. The participants will be divided into groups based on their age and the number of doses they will receive—some will get two doses, while others will receive three doses over specified time periods. The goal is to see how well the vaccine works and how long its effects last.

To be eligible for this trial, participants need to be females aged 9 to 26 who can understand the study and agree to participate. A parent or guardian must consent for those aged 9 to 17. Importantly, participants cannot have received any HPV vaccine before or have certain medical conditions that could affect their participation. During the study, participants will visit the clinic multiple times for follow-up and monitoring. This helps ensure their safety and allows researchers to gather important information about the vaccine's effectiveness. If a participant becomes pregnant or develops any health issues during the trial, they may need to stop receiving the vaccine.
