Project Title: A Study of Reduced Dosing of the Nonavalent HPV Vaccine in Women Living with HIV (The NOVA-HIV Study)

Principal Investigator: Dr. Deborah Money

About the study: The goal of this study is to explore reduced dosing of the nonavalent HPV vaccine in women living with HIV (WLWH). This study will determine whether two doses of 9vHPV vaccine can be used in women living with HIV instead of three, and will examine additional aspects of HPV vaccination in WLWH including the immune response to three doses, vaccine safety and efficacy, and attitudes towards self-collected HPV samples in this population. Participants will be randomized 1:1 to receive 3 doses of 9vHPV vaccine at the routine vaccine schedule of 0/2/6 months or at an extended schedule of 0/6/12 months. These data will inform global public health policy and programming as well as informing the global strategy for cervical cancer elimination.

Study status: Currently recruiting out of Oaktree Clinic at BC Women's Hospital in Vancouver, BC and Le Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Québec in Québec City, QC. Other recruitment sites across Canada will begin recruiting in early 2024.

Project Title: Long Term Follow-Up Study of CTN 236 – A Study of an HPV VLP Vaccine in a Cohort of HIV Positive Girls and Women

Principal Investigator: Dr. Deborah Money

About the study: This study aims to better understand how the HPV vaccine works in HIV positive girls and women over the long term and to clarify how care can be provided to best protect this population from HPV infection and associated cervical cancer and genital warts. Infection with human papillomavirus (HPV) is the leading cause of cervical cancer and genital warts.  This study extends follow-up of girls and women living with HIV who received a least one dose of quadrivalent human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine through the first phase of this research.  353 girls and women from across Canada are therefore eligible and are asked to participate in 3 approximately annual study visits.  At each visit, participant health status is reviewed and blood samples and vaginal swabs are taken to assess response to the HPV vaccine and efficacy of the vaccine in preventing HPV infection and associated diseases over time.

Study status: As of June 2019 last visit is complete with 241 women re-engaged to the project and 580 visits complete.

Project Title:The Impact of the HPV Vaccine on Preterm Birth in British Columbia

Principal Investigator: Dr. Chelsea Elwood

Primary Contact: Chelsea Elwood, B.M.ScH, M.Sc, MD, FRCSC, Reproductive Infectious Diseases Specialist, Medical Lead Antimicrobial Stewardship, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University of British Columbia Chelsea.Elwood@cw.bc.ca

About the Study: Recent evidence has suggested that HPV vaccination may reduce the risk of preterm birth. It is important to determine if this is also the case in British Columbia. This project will determine the feasibility of linking existing provincial databases that contain information on HPV vaccination status and details of pregnancy and delivery to begin to understand if the risk of preterm birth is lower in HPV-vaccinated women. This catalyst project will foster future research utilizing the same linkage and will allow us to continue to assess reproductive outcomes associated with HPV vaccination in the coming years. The pilot data generated will allow us to seek additional funding for a larger Canadian study answering the same question on a national scale. If the risk of preterm birth is reduced by HPV vaccination, this knowledge can directly benefit women and provide public health officials with an additional angle to promote vaccination. In addition, vaccination against HPV could result in improved reproductive outcomes both nationally and globally for women and their infants.
