New HPV vaccine trial aims to protect kids and teens from cancer

NCT ID NCT07377656

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests a bivalent HPV vaccine in healthy infants (9 months), toddlers (15 months), children (2-5 years), and unmarried young women (15-20 years) in Ghana. Researchers want to see if the vaccine is safe and triggers a strong immune response, especially when given alongside routine childhood vaccines. The trial is still recruiting and will compare vaccinated groups to a placebo group.
