High Grade Anal Canal Intraepithelial Neoplasia, High Grade Vulvar Squamous Intraepithelial Lesion
Conditions
Brief summary
This phase IV trial studies how well human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine therapy works in interrupting progression in patients with high-grade vulvar or anal lesions. Vaccines made from HPV peptides or antigens may help the body build an effective immune response to kill tumor cells and decrease the chance of vulvar or anal lesions to progress or come back.
Detailed description
OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms. ARM I: Patients receive recombinant human papillomavirus nonavalent vaccine intramuscularly (IM) at baseline, 2 months, and 6 months. ARM II: Patients receive placebo IM at baseline, 2 months, and 6 months. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at months 7, 12, 18, 24, 36, and 42.

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Histologically confirmed diagnosis of initial or recurrent anal or vulvar high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (AIN2/3 or VIN2/3) diagnosed on or after 1/1/2014; study pathologist will use p16 staining as needed to rule out low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL) disease * \>= 2 months since last therapy for HSIL * No clinical evidence of HSIL on screening examination; if HSIL is suspected, a biopsy will be done to exclude HSIL; patients whose screening visit reveals HSIL on biopsy, may be re-screened \>= 2 months after therapy * Resident in the catchment area of the clinics and willing to attend up to 8 clinic visits for a 36-month period * Sexually active women of child-bearing potential must be willing to use effective contraception through month 7 of the study * If human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positive, receipt of anti-retroviral therapy continuously for at least 6 months prior to enrollment * Ability to give informed consent * Willingness to sign medical records release form and tissue release form
Exclusion criteria
* Currently pregnant * Chemotherapy (current, within the last month, or anticipated in the next 7 months) * Prior history of invasive HPV-related anogenital cancer (cervical, vaginal, vulvar, penile, or anal cancer), or oropharyngeal cancer (base of tongue, tonsil); prior cancer at other sites (including most of oral cavity) or larynx are not exclusions * Unstable medical condition (e.g., another malignancy requiring treatment, malignant hypertension, poorly controlled diabetes, another cancer except for fully excised non-melanoma skin cancer) * Prior HPV vaccination * Known allergy or intolerance to lidocaine * Currently participating in an interventional research study related to HPV, except the Anal Cancer HSIL Outcomes Research (ANCHOR) study (NCT02135419) * Any other condition which, in the opinion of the investigator, may compromise the subject's ability to follow study procedures and safely complete the study
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Persistent High-risk Infection Among Vaccine Compared With Placebo Recipients | Up to month 36 | Persistence will be measured as two or more consecutive polymerase chain reaction (PCR) positive swabs for the same human papillomavirus (HPV) genotype. Will use Chi-Square test to compare the number of participants with the persistent infection in the vaccinated to unvaccinated group. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Time to Recurrence of Anogenital High Grade Squamous Intraepithelial Lesion (HSIL) | Up to month 36 | Will compare vaccine and placebo recipients. Will evaluate differences in the hazard of recurrence using Cox proportional hazards in the intention to treat population and the per protocol population. |
| Incidence of Adverse Events (AEs) Via Solicited Vaccine Reactogenicity by Arm | Up to month 36 | Will monitor safety by comparing type and frequency of AEs in the two study arms, graded according to the Food and Drug Administration criteria. Symptoms are reported at least once from any dose. |
| HPV Antibody Level | Up to month 36 | Will evaluate placebo and vaccine recipients separately. Will assess whether presence and amount of HPV antibody, detected at baseline in the placebo arm, is protective against recurrence. For the vaccine arm, will assess whether magnitude of vaccine antibody levels month 1 following the third vaccination in the vaccine arm affects recurrence. |

Recruitment details
Study recruitment was open between August 2017 and December 2021. Potential participants were recruited through the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Surveillance System and referral by local healthcare providers. Screening took place via phone interviews and in-person visits at the study clinics. Enrollment took place at the two study clinics: Virology Research Center at the University of Washington, and the Center for Women's Reproductive Health at the University of Alabama Birmingham.
