Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are women aged 18 or older with histologically confirmed vHSIL who are planned for treatment and have not previously been vaccinated against HPV.

Probably not a fit

Individuals who have already received HPV vaccination, have invasive or HPV-related genital cancers, are pregnant, allergic to vaccine components, HIV-positive, or immunocompromised may not benefit.

What this trial studies

This phase 4 interventional trial compares Gardasil 9 injection versus placebo in women who have undergone treatment for vulvar HSIL. Participants are adults with histologically confirmed vHSIL planning surgery, laser, or imiquimod treatment, and have not previously received HPV vaccination. The goal is to see if adjuvant vaccination reduces recurrence and progression of disease over time. Safety and tolerability will be monitored, along with recurrence rates and HPV-related outcomes. The study is sponsored by Erasmus Medical Center with collaboration from the Dutch Cancer Society and is conducted at Erasmus MC in Rotterdam.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the vaccination could reduce the risk of HSIL recurrence and lower the chance of progression to vulvar cancer.

How similar studies have gone: HPV vaccination strategies have shown potential benefits in related HPV-associated lesions, but this specific adjuvant approach in vulvar HSIL is being evaluated.
