long term follow-up of hpv vaccine in hiv (ctn 236)

Conditions: Cervical Cancer; Human Papillomavirus Infection; Human Immunodeficiency Virus; Cervical Dysplasia; Genital Warts

Summary: the purpose of this extension study is to determine whether hpv antibody levels in hiv-positive girls and women will decline more rapidly and more significantly than in hiv-negative girls and women and if this decline is determined by hiv parameters.

study hypothesis: hpv antibody levels in hiv-positive girls and women will decline more rapidly and more significantly than in hiv-negative girls and women and that this decline will be determined by hiv parameters. girls and women living with hiv (greater than, or equal to, age 11) attending the hiv treatment clinics in each of the 13 sites across canada and who enrolled in and received at least one dose of quadrivalent hpv vaccine as part of "a study of an hpv vlp vaccine in a cohort of hiv positive girls and women (ctn 236)" will be offered participation in this long term follow-up study. objectives primary: to measure the antibody response to each genotype contained in the qhpv vaccine to 96 months post first dose of quadrivalent hpv vaccine. secondary: 1. to determine the incidence rate and nature of 'breakthrough' hpv incidence and persistent (2 sequential positive hpv dna in \> 6 months) infections of vaccine - non-vaccine-containing high-risk types; 2. to determine the incidence rate of cervical dysplasia (lsil or greater) and/or vulvar and vaginal dysplasia associated hpv genotypes (both with and without vaccine types; and 3. to determine the incidence rate of external genital warts. exploratory: 1. to examine the relationship between hsv-2 serostatus and peak hpv antibody response as well as hpv incidence and persistent infections; and 2. to relate vaginal microbiome profiles to hpv acquisition/persistence and cervical dysplasia. study design phase 3, longitudinal, multi-center, 13 sites, girls and women living with hiv aged 11 years of age and older, received one plus dose of quadrivalent hpv vaccine in the precursor study. study visits 3 possible visits over a total of 5 years * visit 8 (month 36) * visit 9 (month 48) * visit 10 (month 60) * visit 11 (month 72)\* * visit 12 (month 84)\* * visit 13 (month 96)\* study procedures: informed consent, medical history, height \& weight, cervical cytology and hpv dna (liquid prep method), gynecological swab for vaginal microbiota, serology for hpv antibodies, serology for hsv-2, lower urinary tract symptoms survey (at one time-point only for participants 18 years of age and older). note: girls who are pre-menarchal and not sexually active will not be asked to undergo any genital examinations or sampling until they become menarchal and sexually active. data collection consent and source document templates will be provided by the study coordinating center. source data will be transferred to paper case report forms and sent to the study coordinating center/ctn where it will be entered into an electronic database. primary endpoint the primary endpoint of this study will be the hpv antibody gmt for each of the 4 types contained in the gardasil™ vaccine up to month 96 after receiving at least one dose of the vaccine. secondary endpoints incidence rates of: 1) breakthrough incidents and persistent hpv infections; 2) cervical dysplasia; 3) external genital warts
