What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial tests whether a booster shot of the Gardasil-9 vaccine can benefit adults with recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) who continue to face frequent issues despite previous vaccinations. RRP involves non-cancerous growths that repeatedly appear in the airways, caused by HPV (human papillomavirus). The researchers aim to determine if this booster can extend the interval between necessary surgeries. Suitable candidates have had RRP for a while, undergone at least two surgeries, and received the Gardasil-9 series over two years ago. As a Phase 1, Phase 2 trial, this research seeks to understand how the booster works in people and measure its effectiveness in an initial, smaller group, offering participants a chance to contribute to innovative treatment advancements.

Will I have to stop taking my current medications?

The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It is best to discuss this with the trial coordinators or your doctor.

Is there any evidence suggesting that this treatment is likely to be safe for humans?

Studies have shown that the GARDASIL®9 vaccine, which protects against human papillomavirus (HPV), is safe. Over 15 years of research have confirmed its safety, with most side effects being minor. A ten-year review of reported cases found that side effects were generally mild. This vaccine has also successfully reduced the recurrence of respiratory papillomatosis, a condition where non-cancerous growths form in the airway.

Additionally, a long-term study found that the vaccine remains safe and effective even ten years after administration, continuing to protect without major safety concerns. The vaccine also improves health outcomes for patients with conditions like respiratory papillomatosis.

Overall, evidence shows that GARDASIL®9 is well-tolerated, making it a promising option for those considering participation in this booster vaccine study.12345

Why do researchers think this study treatment might be promising?

Unlike the standard treatments for respiratory papillomatosis, which often involve surgical interventions or antiviral medications, GARDASIL®9 is a vaccine that offers a preventative approach. Researchers are excited about this treatment because it works by boosting the immune response specifically against HPV types associated with the condition, potentially reducing the recurrence of papillomas. This vaccine-based strategy could significantly decrease the need for repeated surgeries and improve the quality of life for patients.

What evidence suggests that the Gardasil-9 booster could be an effective treatment for recurrent respiratory papillomatosis?

Research has shown that Gardasil-9 can reduce the number of surgeries needed for recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP). In a study with 50 patients, the number of surgeries required decreased significantly after vaccination. Gardasil-9 provides long-lasting protection against HPV, the virus causing RRP, and extends the time between surgeries. Some evidence suggests the vaccine's effect might diminish over time, so this trial examines a booster dose for those who completed the initial vaccine series. Overall, Gardasil-9 has proven safe and effective in lessening RRP's impact on patients.15678
