VIVA Trial

Enrollment closed

The VIVA Clinical Trial (Vaccine to Interrupt Progression of Vulvar and Anal Neoplasia) will test whether the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine can improve the health of people who have been previously diagnosed with pre-cancerous lesions.

We plan to enroll people in the Seattle area with a history of pre-cancerous lesions, who will be randomly assigned to receive either the Gardasil vaccine or a saline solution (placebo) vaccine.  Participants will be asked to come to the clinic for a total of 7 visits over 3 years.  All participants will receive a total of 3 injections in the arm (Enrollment, Month 2, and Month 6) and will complete questionnaires, and have physical exams, blood draws and biopsies at the pre-cancerous lesion site.

Eligibility Criteria:

  • Between the ages of 27- 69 at the time of diagnosis of pre-cancerous lesions
  • 2 or more months since last therapy or treatment for pre-cancerous lesions

Conditions which would prevent you from participating in this study:

  • Prior history of invasive HPV-related anogenital cancer or oropharyngeal cancer 
  • Currently participating in an interventional research study related to HPV
  • Currently pregnant

Clinic Location:

Our clinic is located on the 11th floor of the Ninth and Jefferson Building at Harborview Medical Center and open Monday through Friday.
