Assessing Durable Antibody Response to HPV Vaccination

Studying long-term immune response to HPV vaccine.

Recruiting
18-45 years
All
Phase 4

This study is to learn more about how the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine helps our bodies make strong defenses called antibodies. Antibodies are proteins made by your immune system to fight infections and keep you healthy. In this study, people will get three doses of the HPV vaccine over 6 months. The researchers will collect blood, saliva, and samples from lymph nodes (small glands in your body that help fight germs) to understand how the vaccine works. Bone marrow, the soft part inside your bones, will also be checked to see how it helps produce long-lasting antibodies.

  • The study will take about two years with many visits for sample collection.
  • Participants must be healthy adults aged 18-45 who haven't had HPV vaccines before.
  • You'll need to be okay with some medical procedures like blood draws and lymph node sampling.

If you join, you'll help researchers understand how vaccines can keep us safe longer, which could lead to better vaccines in the future. Make sure you're comfortable with the time commitment and procedures before signing up.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
