Summary

This trial will study the nonavalent HPV vaccine in adults with HIV to see if it produces a similar antibody response to the vaccine as people without HIV, and to observe short-term clinical outcomes of HPV infections.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with well-controlled HIV (viral load <1,000 copies/mL and CD4+ count >200 cells/ml) who have not previously received the Gardasil-9 vaccine. They must be stable on antiretroviral therapy for at least 3 months. Pregnant women, those acutely ill, on chronic steroids or immune-modulating meds, recent recipients of blood products or vaccines are excluded.
What is being tested?
The study tests how effective the Gardasil-9 HPV vaccine is in adults with controlled HIV by measuring their antibody response compared to people without HIV. It also looks at short-term effects on existing HPV-related infections after completing the three-dose vaccine series.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects aren't listed here, common reactions to vaccines like Gardasil-9 may include pain at injection site, fatigue, headache, muscle or joint pain, fever and chills.

Awards & Highlights

All Individual Drugs Already Approved
Therapies where all constituent drugs have already been approved are likely to have better-understood side effect profiles.
No Placebo-Only Group
All patients enrolled in this study will receive some form of active treatment.
Drug Has Already Been Approved
The FDA has already approved this drug, and is just seeking more data.
Pivotal Trial
The final step before approval, pivotal trials feature drugs that have already shown basic safety & efficacy.
