What is being tested?
The study tests the safety and effectiveness of two injections: pNGVL4a Sig/E7(detox)/HSP70 DNA and TA-CIN against HPV16 by month six. One group receives PVX-2 (the actual treatment), while another gets a placebo to compare results.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects may include typical reactions at the injection site like pain or swelling, flu-like symptoms such as fever or tiredness, allergic responses to components in the vaccine regimen could occur but are less common.
