Therapeutic Treatment With Human Papillomavirus Quadrivalent Vaccine for Recurrent Respiratory Papillomatosis
Stopped: investigator has left the institution
United States0Started 2009-01
Plain-language summary
The purpose of this study is to determine if administration of the HPV quadrivalent vaccine in patients diagnosed with RRP has a therapeutic effect on their clinical course. More specifically, does administration of the vaccine decrease the size and number of papillomas, severity of disease (i.e. hoarseness, inspiratory vs. biphasic stridor, airway obstruction) using the LCAS and time interval between required surgical debulking will be analyzed.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* There are 9 participants currently being followed in the faculty sponsor's clinic that carry the clinical and histologic diagnosis of RRP. The 9 participants meet one or more of the following criteria: Surgery requirement of more than 4 procedures per year, distal multisite spread of disease, and rapid regrowth of papilloma disease with airway compromise.
Exclusion Criteria:
* If any of the 9 patients meet the following criteria they will be excluded from the study:
* Pregnancy
* Hypersensitivity or allergy to vaccine components (i.e. Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast)
* Immunocompromised patients (i.e. patients with HIV, cancer, or who take immunosuppressant medications including all forms of steroids)
* Have a fever over 100°F (37.8°C)
* Moderate or severe acute illness (with or without fever)
* Coagulopathies
* Platelet counts of less than 100,000
* Any history of recent treatment(within 3 months) with any investigational drug or other adjuvant RRP therapy (including interferon-gamma, ribavirin, acyclovir, cidofovir and photodynamic therapy, indole-3-carbinol)
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
