Plain-language summary
This is an open label phase II study in patients with newly diagnosed human papilloma virus type 16 (HPV16) induced cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 3 (CIN3). Patients will be treated with three doses of Vvax001 immunization with an interval of 3 weeks between each immunization to induce histopathological regression and HPV clearance. Regression of CIN3 lesions will be monitored using colposcopy in week 9, week 17 and week 25. When complete regression of the CIN3 lesion is observed by colposcopy, a biopsy will be taken in week 25 to confirm regression histologically. A positive histologic regression is defined as a reduction from CIN3 to CIN1 or no dysplasia. Patients with a complete regression will not undergo the standard-of-care loop excision of the transformation zone (LETZ) and will be followed-up after the study by cytology at 3, 6 and 12 months. If complete regression has not occurred by 25 weeks, a standard-of-care LETZ will be performed.

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.
