This large study is testing whether a single dose of the HPV vaccine can prevent HPV infection and cervical cancer just as well as the standard two doses. Over 27,000 girls aged 12 to 16 are taking part. If one dose works, it could make vaccination cheaper and easier, especially …

This study tests whether a vaginal insert called ABI-2280 can clear persistent high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) infection in women aged 25 to 55. Participants receive either the active insert or a placebo to compare safety and effectiveness. The goal is to see if the treatmen…

This study compares HPV testing on self-collected vaginal samples versus samples collected by a doctor during a pelvic exam. It involves 750 people referred for colposcopy or cervical procedures. The goal is to see if self-collection is accurate enough to make cervical cancer scr…

This study compares the accuracy of HPV testing on self-collected vaginal samples versus samples collected by a doctor during a pelvic exam. About 500 people referred for colposcopy or cervical procedures will provide both types of samples. The goal is to see if self-collection i…

This study compares HPV testing on self-collected vaginal samples versus samples collected by a doctor during a pelvic exam. About 500 women referred for colposcopy or cervical procedures will participate. The goal is to see if self-collection is accurate enough to increase scree…

This study looks at whether giving the HPV vaccine to adults before they get a kidney transplant can help their bodies build a strong immune response. After the transplant, patients take drugs that weaken the immune system to prevent rejection. The goal is to see if the vaccine s…

This study looks at whether mailing self-sampling kits for HPV testing can help more Asian and Asian American women get screened for cervical cancer. Many women find it hard to go to a clinic for a Pap test, so this approach offers a convenient at-home option. The study involves …

This study looks at ways to increase HPV vaccination rates among young adults in Texas. Researchers will work with 1,200 college students aged 18-26 who have not yet received the HPV vaccine. The goal is to find the best methods to encourage people to start and complete the vacci…

This study tests a program called PC TEACH that helps rural doctor's offices improve how they offer the HPV vaccine to teens. The goal is to increase vaccination rates and prevent HPV-related cancers. About 203 clinics and staff are taking part. Researchers hope this approach can…

This study follows over 8,600 women in Costa Rica who received the HPV vaccine (types 16 and 18) and compares them to unvaccinated women. Researchers want to see how long the vaccine protects against cervical cancer and related diseases, and whether it might cause other HPV-relat…

This study follows nearly 1,000 women who previously received one, two, or three doses of the HPV vaccine in Costa Rica. Researchers want to see how long the body's defenses against HPV last, up to 20 years after vaccination. By testing blood samples over time, they hope to learn…

This study looks at whether testing men for HPV antibodies or viral DNA in their blood can help find throat and anal cancers earlier. Researchers will follow 1,500 men over time to see how HPV infection relates to cancer risk. The goal is to develop better screening methods for t…
