Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 55 years (ADULT)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

Female

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Female subjects age 18-55 years;
  • Histologically confirmed HPV-16 or HPV-18-associated CIN 2/3 or CIN 3 from tissue collected less than 10 weeks prior to Vaccination/EP #1 with no evidence of invasive cancer in any specimen;
  • Colposcopy is satisfactory based on visualization of the entire squamocolumnar junction and the upper limit of the entire aceto-white or suspected CIN disease area; lesions in ≤ 3 cervical quadrants (4 quadrant disease where the lesion occupies less than 50% of each quadrant will be considered for inclusion);
  • Healthy subjects as judged by the Investigator based on medical history, PE, and normal results for an ECG, CBC, Serum Chemistries, CPK and urinalysis done up to 4 weeks prior to enrollment and administration of study drug;
  • Women of child-bearing potential agree to remain sexually abstinent, use two medically effective methods of contraception (e.g. oral contraception, barrier methods, spermicide, intrauterine device (IUD)), or have a partner who is sterile (i.e., vasectomy) through 36 weeks (9 months);
  • Able and willing to comply with all study procedures and voluntarily signs informed consent form

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Unsatisfactory colposcopy defined as incomplete visualization of the entire squamocolumnar junction and the upper limit of the entire aceto-white or suspected CIN disease area;
  • Pregnancy or breastfeeding
  • Immunosuppression including any concurrent condition requiring the continued use of systemic or topical steroids at or near the injection site [deltoid, upper arm] (excluding inhaled and eye drop-containing corticosteroids) or the use of immunosuppressive agents. All other corticosteroids must be discontinued > 4 weeks prior to Day 0 of study vaccine administration; autoimmune disorders, transplant recipients;
  • History of previous therapeutic HPV vaccination (individuals who have been immunized with licensed prophylactic HPV vaccines (e.g. Gardasil®, Cervarix®) are not excluded);
  • Positive serological test for hepatitis C virus or hepatitis B virus surface antigen(HBsAg) or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
  • Administration of any blood product within 3 months of enrollment
  • Administration of any licensed vaccine within 2 weeks of enrollment( 4weeks for measles vaccine)
  • Participation in a study with an investigational compound or device within 30 days of signing informed consent;
  • Cardiac pre-excitation syndromes (such as Wolff-Parkinson-White);
  • History of seizures (unless seizure free for 5 years);
  • Tattoos, scars, or active lesions/rashes within 2 cm of the intended site of vaccination/EP or any implantable leads; or any implantable leads;
  • Active drug or alcohol use or dependence that, in the opinion of the investigator,would interfere with adherence to study requirements;
  • Prisoners or subjects who are compulsorily detained (involuntarily incarcerated)for treatment of either a psychiatric or physical (i.e. infections disease) illness must not be enrolled into this study;
  • Any other conditions judged by the investigator that would limit the evaluation of a subject
