Study Summary

This trial will be testing what dosage of TA-CIN is safe and effective for people who have had HPV16-associated cervical cancer.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals with HPV16 associated stage IB1-IV cervical cancer who finished treatment within the last year and show no signs of recurrence. They must have documented HPV16 in their tumor, be in good physical condition (ECOG 0-1), have proper organ function, and not be on immunosuppressants or other investigational drugs recently.Check my eligibility

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: TA-CIN administration via thighExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Each dose of TA-CIN vaccine is fixed, 100µg. Patients will receive 3 doses of the TA-CIN 4 weeks apart (Weeks 1, 5, and 9), administered in the thigh. Patients will be followed for 2 years after the 1st dose is given.
Group II: TA-CIN administration via armExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
