Study Summary

This trial is testing a vaccine for HPV combined with a drug called M7824 to see if it is more effective than either treatment alone for people with HPV associated cancer.

Who is the study for?
Adults (18+) with advanced or metastatic HPV-associated cancers, including cervical, anal, and p16-positive oropharyngeal cancers. Participants must have measurable disease and an ECOG performance status of <=2. Prior treatments are allowed under specific conditions. Adequate organ function is required, and effective contraception must be used.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests the safety and immune response to an HPV vaccine alone or combined with M7824 in patients with HPV-related cancers. Phase I involves multiple vaccine doses plus bi-weekly M7824 infusions for up to a year; Phase II precedes chemoradiation/surgery with two vaccine doses alone or with M7824.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include typical reactions at the injection site from vaccines, as well as more serious risks associated with immunotherapy such as inflammation in various organs, infusion reactions similar to allergic responses, fatigue, possible blood disorders, and increased risk of infections.

What are the primary aims of this research initiative?

"The principal aim of this year-long study is to analyse the augmentation in CD3+ tumor infiltrating T cells following treatment compared to before. Secondary objectives include exploring the 2-fold increase rate in CD3+ tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) with PRGN-2009 and M7824, as well as determining 3 year overall and relapse free survival rates for both PRGN-2009 by itself or combined with M7824 when used as neoadjuvant/ induction therapy prior to standard care."
