Clinical Trial Assessing the Safety and Immunologic Correlates of Heterologous Prime-Boost With pNGVL4a-Sig/E7(Detox)/HSP70 and TA-HPV in Healthy Donors Followed by Peripheral Blood Collection

Plain-language summary
This healthy related donor clinical trial is linked to a recipient clinical trial protocol for therapeutic purposes. In this healthy donor protocol, haploidentical relatives of a patient with recurrent or metastatic human papilloma virus (R/M HPV) 16-associated malignancy will be invited to be vaccinated with a therapeutic HPV vaccine series (PVX1) to generate HPV-specific white blood cells. In the linked recipient phase 1 clinical trial protocol, patient with incurable, locally recurrent or metastatic HPV 16-associated head and neck cancer will be randomized to one of two arms:
Arm A: non-myeloablative (NMA) allogeneic bone marrow transplant (alloBMT) OR Arm B: CD8-depleted donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) on Day 0 of a dose escalation scheme
These two clinical trials are separated so that the healthy donor trial deals exclusively with issues of safety and immunological efficacy of the HPV vaccine series and this companion recipient trial examines the safety, feasibility and clinically efficacy of the allogeneic bone marrow graft and CD8-depleted DLI. The central hypothesis of the clinical trial is that patients with R/M HPV-associated malignancies can be safely and effectively treated by allogeneic bone marrow transplantation and/or CD8-depleted DLI from a healthy related donor that has been vaccinated against HPV16 E6 and E7 proteins.

Inclusion criteria
. Post-menopausal as defined by absence of or missed menstruation after normal menstrual cycle for ≥ 12 months;
. Surgically sterile or have a partner who is sterile (i.e., vasectomy in males or absence of ovaries and/or uterus in females);
. Use of medically effective contraception with a failure rate of less than 1% per year when used consistently and correctly from screening until 3 months following last dose. (Acceptable methods include hormonal contraception (including implants or combined oral + injected); two barrier methods (e.g., condom with spermicide and cervical cap); or abstinence when this is the subject's preferred and usual lifestyle.
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.
