New treatment option for Cervical Carcinoma
Official title HPV Vaccine, Imiquimod, and Metformin Combination Trial
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06686043
What this study is testing
What is HPV vaccine, Imiquimod, and metformin combination therapy?
HPV vaccine, Imiquimod, and metformin combination therapy is an investigational medicine, given as an once-daily injection under the skin, being studied as a potential treatment for cervical carcinoma.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- The goal of this clinical trial is to explore whether additional treatments can help strengthen the participant's immune system to fight cancer caused by the Human Papillomavirus (HPV), a virus spread through intimate skin-to-skin contact. The trial will also monitor the safety of these treatments.
- Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
A plain-language read of the study's public ClinicalTrials.gov listing. The study team confirms the details.
