Plain-language summary
Background:
Human papillomavirus (HPV) can cause vulvar high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL). Sometimes, this can become cancer. Researchers want to see if T cell therapy can treat vulvar HSIL. In this therapy, a person s immune cells are genetically modified so they can attack the HPV.
Objective:
To test if a personalized immune treatment can cure vulvar HSIL.
Eligibility:
People ages 18 and older with vulvar HSIL that cannot be removed with surgery, or for which surgery has failed
Design:
Participants will be screened with:
Medical history
Physical exam
HPV testing
Venous assessment
Chest x-ray
Heart and pulmonary tests
Participants will have a baseline visit. They may have a vulvar biopsy. Photographs will be taken of their lesions.
Participants will have leukapheresis: Blood is removed from a needle in the arm and circulated through a machine that takes out the white blood cells. The other blood cells are returned through a needle in the other arm. The white blood cells will be used to grow treatment cells.
Participants will receive the treatment through a tube inserted into an arm, neck, or chest vein. They will recover in the hospital for 1 to 2 days. They will have blood tests and take supportive medications.
Participants may have one more treatment.
Participants will have 5 follow-up visits in the first 3 months after treatment. They may have more visits if their disease is growing. Visits will include blood tests. They may include vulvar biopsies or leukapheresis.
Participants will have an annual physical exam for 5 years after treatment that can be done at home or at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Then they will have an annual phone or email questionnaire for another 10 years....

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
* INCLUSION CRITERIA:
* Patients must have vulvar High-Grade Squamous Intraepithelial Lesions (HSIL) as confirmed by pathology report from a Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA)-certified laboratory.
* Vulvar HSIL must be human papillomavirus (HPV)-16+ by a polymerase chain reaction (PCR), Ribonucleic acid (RNA), or in situ hybridization test from a CLIA certified laboratory.
* Patients must have measurable lesion(s) as defined in one or more of the following criteria:
* Failure of surgery to control disease (i.e. positive margins after surgery or recurrence of HSIL after surgery).
* Multifocal or extensive disease for which surgery would result in disfigurement that is not be acceptable to the patient.
* Disease for which surgery would have a risk of functional impairment that is not be acceptable to the patient (i.e. involve partial or complete excision of the clitoris, anus, vagina, or urethra).
* Patients may have received any previous therapy, including surgical excision. Patients with recurrent disease must have histologically documented recurrence on new biopsy and a measurable lesion that meets the above criteria.
* Patients must have the human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-A\*02:01 allele
* Age greater than or equal to18 years.
* Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0-1.
* Able to understand and sign the Informed Consent Document.
* Women of child-bearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test. Women of child-bearing po…
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?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
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.
