Vaccine tested as new weapon against stubborn genital warts

NCT ID NCT02750202

Summary

This study tested if giving the HPV vaccine to women before they had surgery for large genital warts could help prevent the warts from growing back. It involved 52 women in South Africa who received either the HPV vaccine or a Hepatitis B vaccine for comparison. The goal was to see if boosting the body's immune response with the vaccine could lead to better long-term control of the warts.
