Study Summary

This trial will examine the immunologic effects of the study agent HB-201 in the head and neck or cervical cancer, when administered either by IT injection or by IV route.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with HPV16+ oropharynx cancer (stages I-III, resectable tumors) or advanced cervical cancer (stages IB to IVB), who have good kidney and liver function, no prior radiation in the target areas, and no recent immunosuppressive treatments. Participants must not be pregnant/breastfeeding, agree to use effective contraception, and should be free from other cancers for at least 2 years.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests HB-201 administered intravenously in patients with newly diagnosed HPV16+ oropharynx or locally advanced cervical cancer. It aims to understand the immune effects of this treatment on these types of cancers before any standard therapy like surgery or chemoradiation begins.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not listed here, common ones associated with similar immunotherapy agents include flu-like symptoms such as fever and chills, fatigue, pain at injection site, allergic reactions, and potential impacts on organ functions which will be closely monitored.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Is this trial still recruiting participants?

"According to the data available on clinicaltrials.gov, this research is recruiting patients now. It was initially posted on July 28th 2021 and recently edited on November 18th 2022."

Answered by AI

What aim is this experiment attempting to achieve?

"This clinical trial, projected to last 6-8 weeks, is assessing the immunological response between IV and IT administration of HB-201. Secondary goals include evaluating tumor mutational burden (TMB, MSI) in tissue samples using whole exome sequencing pre and post administration of HB-201; measuring TH1/TH2 proinflammatory cytokines (mesoscale multiplex discovery assay); and characterizing t-cell receptor repertoire diversity and clonality through t-cell receptor sequencing before & after administering HB-201."

Answered by AI

What is the scope of participation in this research study?

"Affirmative. According to clinicaltrials.gov, this investigation is actively seeking participants with the first post on July 28th 2021 and last update at November 18th 2022. 27 patients are needed from 1 site for enrolment in the trial."
