Vulva cancer

This study tests an HPV vaccine (PRGN-2009) alone or with a drug called M7824 in people with HPV-positive cancers like cervical, anal, and throat cancers. The goal is to find a safe dose and see if the combination boosts the immune system's attack on tumors. The trial includes 39…

This study tests a combination of three immunotherapy drugs—PDS0101, M7824, and NHS-IL12—in people with advanced HPV-related cancers such as cervical, anal, and throat cancers. The goal is to see if the mix can shrink tumors or stop them from growing. Participants receive the dru…

This trial tested a new therapy for cancers caused by HPV-16, such as cervical, anal, and throat cancers. Researchers took patients' white blood cells, genetically engineered them to recognize a protein called E7 found in HPV cancer cells, and infused them back. Patients also rec…

This trial tests whether indocyanine green, a dye injected before surgery, can find sentinel lymph nodes as reliably as the standard technetium-99 radioactive tracer. About 744 adults with various cancers will receive both agents, and surgeons will compare detection rates using a…

This study looks at whether a blood test that detects tumor DNA can find early signs of cancer returning in people treated for HPV-positive pelvic cancers (like cervical or anal cancer). Researchers will take blood samples from 172 patients during regular follow-up visits. The go…

This study tested whether bupropion, a medication that affects brain chemicals, can improve low sexual desire in women who have had breast or gynecologic cancer. About 230 women took either bupropion or a placebo pill for 9 weeks. The main goal was to see if their self-reported s…

This study tested a new way to follow up with gynecologic cancer survivors. Instead of seeing a doctor every time, patients saw a nurse at every other visit and used a smartphone app to help manage their health. The goal was to see if this approach improved self-management skills…

This study tested a home-based cognitive training program called BrainHQ in 60 women with gynecologic cancers who had memory or thinking problems after chemotherapy. Participants used the app for about 2.5 hours per week for 10 weeks. The goal was to see if the program was practi…

This study looked at whether a 10-week pelvic physical therapy program is practical for gynecologic cancer survivors who have sexual problems. Twenty survivors were enrolled to see if they could stick with the program and if it improved their sexual function and quality of life. …

This study tested whether lying with legs straight or bent (frog-leg) during radiation therapy for vulvar cancer affects skin burns. Twenty women with early-stage vulvar cancer took part. The goal was to see which position causes fewer skin side effects and whether it shortens tr…

This study tests whether giving gynecologic cancer patients a list of questions to ask their doctor improves their confidence, reduces distress, and builds trust. About 70 adults with newly diagnosed or suspected gynecologic cancer will either receive the question list or usual c…

This study interviewed 12 women diagnosed with gynaecological cancers (ovarian, womb, cervical, vulval, or vaginal) to understand what made them seek help or delay. Researchers focused on embarrassment and other barriers to early doctor visits. The goal is to use these insights t…

This completed study tested whether a new biomarker called 'mass response' can predict how well a cancer therapy will work. Researchers collected tumor cells from 72 patients with various cancers through fluid drainage or biopsies. The goal was to see if this biomarker could guid…

This study looked at 111 people who had surgery for early-stage cervical or vulvar cancer to find out how many develop lower leg swelling (lymphedema). Researchers used a questionnaire to gather information, not to test any new treatment. The goal is to better identify who is at …

This study tested whether simulation-based training helps nursing students learn about vulvar cancer and how to perform self-exams. 94 students were randomly assigned to receive the training or not. Researchers measured changes in knowledge, skills, and attitudes toward clinical …
