Clinical Trial Assessing the Safety and Immunologic Correlates of Heterologous Prime-Boost With pNGVL4a-Sig/E7(Detox)/HSP70 and TA-HPV in Healthy Donors Followed by Peripheral Blood Collection

This healthy related donor clinical trial is linked to a recipient clinical trial protocol for therapeutic purposes. In this healthy donor protocol, haploidentical relatives of a patient with recurrent or metastatic human papilloma virus (R/M HPV) 16-associated malignancy will be invited to be vaccinated with a therapeutic HPV vaccine series (PVX1) to generate HPV-specific white blood cells. In the linked recipient phase 1 clinical trial protocol, patient with incurable, locally recurrent or metastatic HPV 16-associated head and neck cancer will be randomized to one of two arms: Arm A: non-myeloablative (NMA) allogeneic bone marrow transplant (alloBMT) OR Arm B: CD8-depleted donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) on Day 0 of a dose escalation scheme These two clinical trials are separated so that the healthy donor trial deals exclusively with issues of safety and immunological efficacy of the HPV vaccine series and this companion recipient trial examines the safety, feasibility and clinically efficacy of the allogeneic bone marrow graft and CD8-depleted DLI. The central hypothesis of the clinical trial is that patients with R/M HPV-associated malignancies can be safely and effectively treated by allogeneic bone marrow transplantation and/or CD8-depleted DLI from a healthy related donor that has been vaccinated against HPV16 E6 and E7 proteins.

Detecting HPV DNA in Anal and Cervical Cancers

This is a research study for individuals who have cancer associated with human papillomavirus (HPV) and are being treated with radiation as part of standard care for their cancer. Doctors leading this study will use blood tests to find out if they can detect the HPV virus in the blood of study participants before, during, and after radiation treatment. They will also collect blood and archival tumor tissue (from a previous biopsy) to perform other tests in the future that could provide more information about HPV-associated cancers and how they respond to treatment. Participation in this study will last approximately 2 years.

E7 TCR-T Cell Immunotherapy for Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Associated Cancers

This is a phase II clinical trial to assess the clinical activity of immunotherapy with E7 TCR-T cells for metastatic HPV-associated cancers. HPV-associated cancers in include cervical, throat, penile, vulvar, vaginal, anal, and other cancers. Participants will receive a conditioning regimen, E7 TCR-T cells, and aldesleukin. Clinical response to treatment will be determined.

E7 T-cell Receptor (TCR) -T Cell Induction Therapy for Locoregionally Advanced HPV-associated Cancers

The goal of this study is to determine the feasibility of administration of a single dose of E7 TCR-T cells as induction therapy prior to definitive treatment (chemoradiation or surgery) of locoregionally advanced HPV-associated cancers. The intent of E7 TCR-T cell treatment is to shrink or eliminate tumors and thereby facilitate definitive therapy and increase overall survival. This study seeks to determine 1) if E7 TCR-T cells can be administered without undue delay in definitive treatment, 2) the tumor response rate to E7 TCR-T cell treatment, and 3) the disease-free survival rate at 2 and 5 years. Participants will undergo an apheresis procedure to obtain T cells that will be genetically engineered to generate E7 TCR-T cells. They will receive a conditioning regimen, a single infusion of their own E7 TCR-T cells, and adjuvant aldesleukin. Participants will follow up to assess safety and determine tumor response and will return to their primary oncology team for definitive therapy.

HPV ctDNA Response-Adapted Chemoradiation +/- Retifanlimab Treatment in Advanced-Stage Anal Cancer

This study is for people who have anal cancer and have not yet had treatment. The regular treatment for people who have anal cancer is chemoradiation therapy (CRT). CRT is when chemotherapy and radiation therapy are given at the same time. Studies show that CRT works well to treat anal cancer and prevents many people from needing surgery which may require a colostomy bag. Doctors know that CRT is an effective way to treat anal cancer. But, they are doing studies to find out how much dose of radiation and chemotherapy should be given during the CRT. Higher doses of chemotherapy and radiation could increase the risk of side effects, but lowering the dose of chemoradiation has the risk of not being as effective to treat the cancer. One way to predict whether participants need higher or lower doses of radiation therapy is to do a blood test called ctDNA (circulating tumor DNA) to test for the presence of human papillomavirus (HPV). This test is done at certain times while participants are getting CRT. This has been shown to be a marker for the presence of anal cancer. In this study, doctors will tailor lower versus higher doses of CRT based on the tumor response that is measured by ctDNA. The purpose of this study is to see if customizing the dose of chemoradiation based on the amount of ctDNA will increase survival in participants with anal cancer and/or decrease the risk of side effects. Some participants in this study whose cancer does not respond as well to the CRT may have the opportunity to receive a drug called Retifanlimab that stimulates the body's immune system. Retifanlimab is approved by the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) for treating anal cancer that is recurrent or metastatic since there is proven benefit in these situations.

Biomarker Approach to Screening for the Early Detection of HPV-related Oropharyngeal Cancer (BASH OPC)

Investigators seek to determine the sensitivity and specificity of a combined HPV 16 DNA and host gene methylation oral biomarker panel to distinguish early Oropharyngeal Cancer (OPC) cases from controls among 100 early and 100 late disease pre-treatment OPC cases, and 200 controls matched by sex, age, race/ethnicity, and tobacco use collected from the Moffitt Cancer Center (Moffitt) and the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center Hillman Cancer Center (Pittsburgh).

Phase Ib/II of TG4001 and Avelumab in HPV16 Positive R/M Cancers

The study will consist of two parts : In the phase Ib: safety will be assessed in consecutive cohorts of 3 to 6 participants at increasing doses of TG4001 in combination with avelumab according to a 3+3 design. There will be no intra-participant dose escalation. In the phase II part 1, evaluation of efficacy and further evaluation of safety of the combination of TG4001 and avelumab will be performed in a single arm of participants with recurrent or metastatic HPV-16 positive advanced malignancies. In the phase II part 2, evaluation of efficacy of the combination of TG4001 and avelumab will be performed in a randomized, open-label controlled study comparing TG4001 in combination with avelumab to avelumab alone in participants with HPV-16 positive advanced malignancies. In both phases, evaluation of tumor response will be done locally according to RECIST 1.1. All participants will be followed up until disease progression, death, or unacceptable toxicity, or study withdrawal for any reason, whichever occurs first.

A Phase III Clinical Trial of a 11-valent Recombinant Human Papillomavirus Vaccine (Hansenulapolymorpha) in Chinese Women Aged 9-45 Years

A total of 13500 Chinese women aged 18-45 years old were divided into three age groups: 18-26 years old, 27-35 years old, and 35-45 years old. The experimental group and the placebo group were randomly assigned in a ratio of 1:1. All subjects enrolled in the upper arm deltoid muscle were injected with 3 doses of test vaccine or placebo according to the 0, 2, and 6 months immunization program.

Dynamic ctDNA Assessment in Cervical and Anal Canal Tumors: Optimizing Follow-up and Clinical Outcomes

After definitive radiotherapy (RT) treatment (with or without chemotherapy), cervical and anal canal neoplasms frequently exhibit disease persistence or recurrence. Due to the local inflammatory process post-treatment, response assessment by imaging (current gold standard) is limited, often necessitating multiple follow-ups and repeated invasive biopsies. Conventional follow-up is complex and costly, requiring equipment from secondary and tertiary services, trained radiologists, and patient exposure to radiation and contrast. In this context of human papillomavirus(HPV)-related neoplasms, recent studies have demonstrated the role of ctDNA (circulating tumor DNA) in assessing the risk of recurrence or disease progression, providing a rationale for using the tool in two fronts: * Optimizing follow-up based on serial monitoring of ctDNA; * Selecting patients with positive ctDNA after RT, who are at high risk of recurrence, for treatment intensification. Monitoring with ctDNA as a standalone follow-up tool in cases evolving with negative ctDNA after RT has the potential to replace imaging exams, being a minimally invasive test performed on a peripheral blood sample. Currently, ctDNA testing has expensive methodologies not available in the Unified Health System (SUS). This project aims to develop a methodology for ctDNA evaluation focused on HPV ctDNA research that is low-cost and executable in SUS, as well to assess the accuracy of this test in the population with HPV-related tumors. Additionally, we will evaluate whether the early introduction of immunotherapy in patients with positive ctDNA after definitive treatment can increase cure rates. Immunotherapy already has a well-defined role in the treatment of metastatic HPV-related neoplasms. Recently, the use of anti-programmed death-1 (anti-PD1) has also shown benefits in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer with a high risk of recurrence who are candidates for chemoradiotherapy (CRT). Therefore, its use focused on HPV-related tumors, as well as a better understanding of which patients benefit from this strategy, warrants further investigation.

A Study on Using Cell-Free Tumor DNA (ctDNA) Testing to Decide When to StartRoutine Treatment in People With Human Papilloma Virus (HPV)- Associated Oropharynx Cancer (OPC)

This study will look at whether monitoring HPV ctDNA levels is an effective way to detect cancer relapse risk in people with HPV-OPC. All participants will have recently had surgery to treat their disease, or they will be scheduled to have this surgery. In Arm A the researchers will see whether monitoring participants' HPV ctDNA levels can safely identify patients who do not need radiation therapy (RT) after surgery and whose RT can be delayed until their HPV ctDNA levels become detectable. In Arm B, the researchers will see whether patients who usually need 6-6.5 weeks of CRT can be selected by HPV ctDNA to receive 3 weeks of CRT.

IBRX-042 In Participants With HPV-Associated Tumors

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the maximum tolerated dose and to find out the side effects of a drug called IBRX-042 at different dose levels in patients with recurrent or progressive Human Papillomavirus (HPV) associated tumors. The main questions it aims to answer are: * What is the maximum tolerated dose of IBRX-042? * How well does the study drug treat cancer? * What effects the study drug may have on the human body and cancer? Participants will receive IBRX-042 at one of three dose levels every 3 weeks for a total of 3 injections. Participants will undergo tests, exams, and procedures that are part of standard of care and for study purposes. IBRX-042 will be administered by injection every 3 weeks for a total of 3 injections.

A Study Using Human Papillomavirus (HPV) DNA Testing to Detect HPV-Related Oropharyngeal Cancer (OPC)

The researchers think that a blood test (NavDx®) may be able to identify cancer early by looking for circulating DNA from Human Papillomavirus/HPV. Circulating DNA are small pieces of genes that are released into the bloodstream. The purpose of this study is to find out whether using this blood test to test for HPV DNA will help detect HPV-related Oropharyngeal Cancer/OPC.

Determining the Frequency of Occurrence and Defining the Most Appropriate Screening Test for Anal Intraepithelial Neoplasia (AIN) in Patients With Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Related Gynecological Diseases.

The primary aim of the study is to determine the total risk of AIN in group of HPV-RGD survivors and additionally to establish an exact risk for each of HPV-related gynecological precancers/cancers. Moreover, the most appropriate screening test for HSIL(AIN) in this group of patients will be determined. It will be effectuated by performing two kinds of tests: hrHPV test for the 14 most common oncogenic HPV types and the liquid cytology from both the lower genital tract and anal canal with subsequent high resolution anoscopy (HRA) with potential biopsy/excision of suspected lesions and histopathological examination.
