This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.

Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Summary

This trial tests whether 2LPAPI, an immune regulator used for over 20 years, can help clear high-risk genital HPV infections faster than a placebo. Researchers will enroll 284 women aged 25 to 45 with a current high-risk HPV diagnosis. Participants receive either 2LPAPI or a placebo, and the study compares HPV clearance rates at 6 and 12 months. The goal is to see if this treatment can reduce the time women live with an infection that raises cervical cancer risk.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
2LPAPI, an immune regulator taken as a treatment for high-risk HPV infections
What this could lead to
If it works, 2LPAPI could offer a way to help the body clear high-risk HPV infections, potentially reducing the need for invasive follow-up procedures.
What could go wrong
This is a Phase 4 trial, but HPV often clears on its own, so the placebo group may show similar results. The treatment's immune effects are not fully understood, and it may not work for everyone.
