What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
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 Results may not be published yet.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
Cancelled before anyone took part.

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

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tests an experimental injection called BBM-C101 in 200 people with persistent HPV16 or HPV18 infection and low-grade precancerous lesions of the cervix, vulva, vagina, or anus. Participants receive four shots under the skin over three weeks. The trial monitors safety and whether the infection clears over one year, with an additional year of follow-up.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
an experimental injection called BBM-C101, given as a series of four shots under the skin over three weeks
What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a non-surgical treatment option for persistent HPV16/18 infections and low-grade precancerous lesions.
What could go wrong
This is an early exploratory trial with no control group, so results may not prove effectiveness. The treatment could cause side effects or fail to clear the infection.

Cytology results obtained during screening showing any of the following: adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS), atypical glandular cells favor neoplasia (AGC-FN), invasive carcinoma, etc. 2. Received disease-related treatments within 4 weeks prior to the first vaccination, including pharmaceutical therapy (e.g., immunomodulators, fluorouracil ointment, recombinant human interleukin-2 injection), physical therapy (cryotherapy, laser therapy, photodynamic therapy), or surgical treatment. 3. Prior administration of any therapeutic HPV vaccine (licensed prophylactic HPV vaccines are permitted). 4. Received any vaccine within 4 weeks or 2 weeks prior to the first vaccination. 5. Past or current diagnosis of other malignant tumors (exceptions: completely treated and cured ductal carcinoma in situ of breast, basal cell carcinoma of the skin, superficial bladder tumors, or any malignancy cured for more than 5 years with no evidence of recurrence prior to study entry). 6. Active autoimmune disease or medical history of autoimmune disorders. 7. Other immunocompromised conditions, including subjects receiving immunostimulants or immunosuppressants within 3 months (oral or intravenous administration lasting more than 14 consecutive days); subjects receiving whole blood, plasma or immunoglobulin therapy within 1 month; subjects with clinically diagnosed impaired or deficient immune function; or functional asplenia or splenectomy due to any cause. 8. Severe allergic history, history of allergic disorders, or allergic diathesis. 9. Participation in another clinical trial within 4 weeks prior to the first study vaccine administration. 10. Underwent major surgery or sustained significant trauma within 4 weeks prior to the first study vaccine administration. 11. Active hepatitis B (HBV viral load \>1000 copies/mL or 200 IU/mL; prophylactic antiviral therapy other than interferon is allowed); hepatitis C virus infection. 12. History of immunodeficiency or positive HIV antibody test result. 13. Systemic active bacterial, fungal or viral infection (defined as infection requiring intravenous antibacterial, antifungal or antiviral agents). 14.
