NCT ID NCT06491446
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 18, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests an experimental vaginal insert (ABI-2280) to see if it can safely clear persistent high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) infection in women aged 25 to 55. Participants must have had HPV for at least a year with no serious cervical changes. The study compares different doses against a placebo to check safety and how well the virus is cleared.
