HPV-Related Cervical Carcinoma

This is a phase II clinical trial to assess the clinical activity of immunotherapy with E7 TCR-T cells for metastatic HPV-associated cancers. HPV-associated cancers in include cervical, throat, penile, vulvar, vaginal, anal, and other cancers. Participants will receive a conditioning regimen, E7 TCR-T cells, and aldesleukin. Clinical response to treatment will be determined.

This is a research study for individuals who have cancer associated with human papillomavirus (HPV) and are being treated with radiation as part of standard care for their cancer. Doctors leading this study will use blood tests to find out if they can detect the HPV virus in the blood of study participants before, during, and after radiation treatment. They will also collect blood and archival tumor tissue (from a previous biopsy) to perform other tests in the future that could provide more information about HPV-associated cancers and how they respond to treatment. Participation in this study will last approximately 2 years.

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the safety and efficacy of a potential new treatment called Lenti-HPV-07 in patients with a cancer induced by Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). The main questions aim to answer are: * Is Lenti-HPV-07 safe? * Does Lenti-HPV-07 induce an immune response? Participants will be assigned to a group based on their cancer type * either study drug group A: recurrent and/or metastatic cancer * or study drug group B: newly diagnosed with locally advanced cancer After they finish the study treatment, they will be followed for up to 1 year. Follow-up visits will occur via clinic visits or phone calls 4 weeks after the last study treatment and then quarterly for up to 1 year.

After definitive radiotherapy (RT) treatment (with or without chemotherapy), cervical and anal canal neoplasms frequently exhibit disease persistence or recurrence. Due to the local inflammatory process post-treatment, response assessment by imaging (current gold standard) is limited, often necessitating multiple follow-ups and repeated invasive biopsies. Conventional follow-up is complex and costly, requiring equipment from secondary and tertiary services, trained radiologists, and patient exposure to radiation and contrast. In this context of human papillomavirus(HPV)-related neoplasms, recent studies have demonstrated the role of ctDNA (circulating tumor DNA) in assessing the risk of recurrence or disease progression, providing a rationale for using the tool in two fronts: * Optimizing follow-up based on serial monitoring of ctDNA; * Selecting patients with positive ctDNA after RT, who are at high risk of recurrence, for treatment intensification. Monitoring with ctDNA as a standalone follow-up tool in cases evolving with negative ctDNA after RT has the potential to replace imaging exams, being a minimally invasive test performed on a peripheral blood sample. Currently, ctDNA testing has expensive methodologies not available in the Unified Health System (SUS). This project aims to develop a methodology for ctDNA evaluation focused on HPV ctDNA research that is low-cost and executable in SUS, as well to assess the accuracy of this test in the population with HPV-related tumors. Additionally, we will evaluate whether the early introduction of immunotherapy in patients with positive ctDNA after definitive treatment can increase cure rates. Immunotherapy already has a well-defined role in the treatment of metastatic HPV-related neoplasms. Recently, the use of anti-programmed death-1 (anti-PD1) has also shown benefits in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer with a high risk of recurrence who are candidates for chemoradiotherapy (CRT). Therefore, its use focused on HPV-related tumors, as well as a better understanding of which patients benefit from this strategy, warrants further investigation.

Non-RCT clinical trial comparing 5-ALA photodynamic therapy and CO2 laser for persistent high-risk HPV-related low-grade cervical lesions.

BS-02 is a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 1 dose escalation study to assess the safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of FluBHPVE6E7, in women infected with HPV-16. with cervical cytological evaluation negative for intraepithelial lesion or malignancy (NILM), atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASC-US), low grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL), or low-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN1).

The goal of the COMBISCREEN project is to develop a fully molecular cervical screening and triage approach that is applicable on self-samples, which are an easily accessible and non-invasive source of biomarkers. The project allows a one-step screening and triage modality and thereby identifies women with clinically relevant disease that are in need of treatment.
