NCT ID NCT04131413

First seen Jul 02, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026

Summary

This phase 1 trial tests a DNA vaccine designed to target HPV16, a virus that can cause high-grade cervical lesions (CIN2/3). The vaccine is given by injection into the muscle followed by a mild electrical pulse to help cells take up the DNA. The study includes both HIV-negative and HIV-positive women with confirmed HPV16-positive lesions. The main goal is to see if the vaccine is safe and tolerable at different doses.
