ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07454915
What this study is testing
What is PVX4 Combination Product?
PVX4 Combination Product is an investigational medicine, given as an injection into a muscle, being studied as a potential treatment for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2/3.
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 purpose of this Phase 2 study is to compare the effects of administering the PVX4 combination device biologic product (pBI-4 DNA vaccine via electroporation-mediated intramuscular delivery with the TriGrid™ Delivery System) in patients with biopsy-confirmed, human papilloma virus (HPV) 16-associated high grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN2/3) as compared to the administration of placebo.
- Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
- You might receive a placebo (an inactive treatment) instead of the study drug.
