Separately, the company also plans to conduct clinical trials in both females and males to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a single-dose regimen of GARDASIL®9 (Human Papillomavirus 9-valent, recombinant), compared to the approved three-dose regimen.

Key Points: 
  • Separately, the company also plans to conduct clinical trials in both females and males to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a single-dose regimen of GARDASIL®9 (Human Papillomavirus 9-valent, recombinant), compared to the approved three-dose regimen.
  • Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in a confirmatory trial.
  • The latest addition to the pipeline employs the company’s proprietary virus-like particle (VLP) technology to incorporate additional VLPs for expanded HPV type coverage.
  • These randomized, double-blind, multi-year clinical trials will examine the short and long-term efficacy and immunogenicity of a single-dose of GARDASIL 9 versus the currently approved three-dose regimen.

Also in this HPV-related cancer, methylation appears to be promising for future use as an accurate biomarker for objective risk stratification of anal lesions.

Key Points: 
  • Also in this HPV-related cancer, methylation appears to be promising for future use as an accurate biomarker for objective risk stratification of anal lesions.
  • In analogy with cervical cancer screening, the screening and treatment of HSIL to prevent anal cancer in high-risk groups are under debate.
  • Host cell deoxyribonucleic acid methylation markers for the detection of high-grade anal intraepithelial neoplasia and anal cancer.
  • Analytical validation and diagnostic performance of the ASCL1/ZNF582 methylation test for detection of high-grade anal intraepithelial neoplasia and anal cancer.
