Assessing Durable Antibody Response to HPV Vaccination

Studying long-lasting immune response to HPV vaccine.

Recruiting
18-45 years
All
Phase 4
This study aims to understand how the **HPV vaccine** (a shot that helps protect against cancers caused by the human papillomavirus) creates long-lasting protection by producing high levels of antibodies, which are proteins that help fight off infections. Participants will receive three shots of the 9-valent HPV vaccine over six months. **Antibody responses** will be checked in blood, saliva, lymph nodes (part of the body's immune system), and bone marrow, which is the tissue inside bones where blood cells are made. - **Participants**: Adults aged 18-45, healthy, willing to provide blood/saliva samples, and undergo lymph node and bone marrow sampling. - **Study Duration**: Participants must be available for up to 2 years for sample collections and monitoring. - **Risks**: Involves multiple visits and procedures like blood draws and needle aspirations, which may cause discomfort. By joining, you'll help researchers understand how vaccines work and improve future vaccines. Note: If you've already received an HPV vaccine or have certain health conditions, you cannot participate.

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
