Testing a new treatment for HPV16-infected women
Official title: Randomised, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Phase 1 Dose-escalation Study of FluBHPVE6E7 in HPV16-infected Women with NILM, ASC-US, LSIL or Low-grade CIN
Run by BlueSky Immunotherapies GmbH · NCT05829629 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing a new treatment for women aged 18-49 who are infected with HPV16 to see if it can help their immune system fight the virus and improve cervical health.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are females aged 18-49 with confirmed HPV16 infection and specific cervical cytological evaluations indicating low-grade abnormalities.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with significant viral infections or those who have received vaccinations within the specified timeframe may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This phase 1 dose-escalation study evaluates the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of FluBHPVE6E7, an immunotherapeutic agent designed to target HPV infections and related cervical conditions. The study involves administering FluBHPVE6E7 three times at two different dose levels, with the first dose given directly into the cervix and subsequent doses administered intramuscularly. Participants will be women aged 18-49 who are infected with HPV16 and have specific cervical cytological evaluations indicating low-grade abnormalities or no malignancy.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a novel immunotherapy option for women with HPV16 infections, potentially reducing the risk of cervical cancer.
How similar studies have gone: While this approach is novel, similar immunotherapeutic strategies have shown promise in other studies targeting HPV-related conditions.
