Sponsored by:	National Cancer Institute (NCI)
Information provided by:	National Cancer Institute (NCI)
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00798265

Purpose

RATIONALE: Vaccine therapy may be effective in preventing human papillomavirus infection in young participants.

PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects of vaccine therapy in preventing human papillomavirus infection in young participants who are either HIV-positive or HIV-negative.

Primary Outcome Measures:

Vaccine-induced antibody titer difference between the 3 cohorts at baseline and months 7, 12, 24, and 48 [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Vaccine-induced HIV-1 RNA levels between cohorts 1 and 2 at baseline, days 3 and 7, and months 1, 3, 7, and 12 [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:

Correlation of increase in HPV titer with baseline CD4 count and viral load [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Estimated Enrollment:	105
Study Start Date:	October 2008
Estimated Primary Completion Date:	September 2012 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)

Detailed Description:

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

To assess the immunogenicity and safety of the quadrivalent human papillomavirus (types 6, 11, 16, 18) recombinant vaccine (HPV vaccine) in HIV-infected pre-adolescents, adolescents, and young adults.

Secondary

To determine whether there are differences in HPV vaccine immunogenicity between HIV-infected and HIV-uninfected age-matched controls.
To determine whether there are differences in HPV vaccine immunogenicity between HIV-infected patients receiving highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) and those not receiving HAART with similar CD4 and viral-load parameters at entry.
To determine whether HPV vaccination alters HIV-1 RNA levels.
To investigate the impact of CD4 count and HIV-1 RNA levels on immunogenicity.
To characterize human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA positivity by oral/buccal and anogenital swabs at baseline.
To characterize HPV and HIV knowledge and risk and sexual behaviors.

OUTLINE: Participants receive intramuscular quadrivalent human papillomavirus (types 6, 11, 16, 18) recombinant vaccine at 0, 2, and 6 months.

All participants complete human papillomavirus (HPV)/HIV knowledge and risk and sexual behavior surveys and undergo oral rinse/buccal swab and external anogenital sampling for HPV DNA testing at baseline. Blood samples are collected periodically for CD4 cell count, functional HPV antibody assay, HPV-specific lymphocyte proliferation assays (LPA), and cytokine profiling. HIV-positive patients (cohorts 1 and 2) also have blood samples collected for analysis of immunologic responses, HIV-1 RNA levels, and HIV-specific LPA.

After completion of study therapy, patients are followed periodically for 1 year and then every 6 months for 3 years.

NOTE: Preventing human papillomavirus (HPV) infection may prevent some HPV-associated cancers, such as cervical cancer and anogenital (vulvar, vagina, penis and anus) cancer.
