A Study to Evaluate Lenti-HPV-07 Immunotherapy Against HPV+ Cervical or Oropharyngeal Cancer

January 29, 2026 updated by: Theravectys S.A.

An Open-Label Phase 1/2a Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Safety, Immunogenicity, and Preliminary Efficacy of a Lentiviral Vector-Based Therapeutic Vaccine Against Human Papilloma Virus (Lenti-HPV-07) in Participants With HPV-Associated Oropharyngeal Squamous Cell Cancer or Cervical Cancer

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the safety and efficacy of a potential new treatment called Lenti-HPV-07 in patients with a cancer induced by Human Papilloma Virus (HPV).

The main questions aim to answer are:

  • Is Lenti-HPV-07 safe?
  • Does Lenti-HPV-07 induce an immune response?

Participants will be assigned to a group based on their cancer type

  • either study drug group A: recurrent and/or metastatic cancer
  • or study drug group B: newly diagnosed with locally advanced cancer

After they finish the study treatment, they will be followed for up to 1 year. Follow-up visits will occur via clinic visits or phone calls 4 weeks after the last study treatment and then quarterly for up to 1 year.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

As of 06Nov2025 the recruitment in ARm A of the study (recurrent/metastatic cancers) has been closed to further enrollment, in accordance with the protocol and the study's prespecified operational and/or scientific considerations. No new participants will be enrolled into Arm A, and no additional study drug will be administered within this arm.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Arm A : Refractory newly diagnosed
Refractory recurrent and/or metastatic cervical or oropharyngeal cancer that is not amenable to local therapy with curative intent (ie, surgery or radiation therapy with or without chemotherapy).
two Lenti-HPV-07 intramuscular injections one month apart
Experimental: Arm B : newly diagnosed locally advanced
Participants who have newly diagnosed locally advanced HPV-related oropharyngeal cancer (defined by AJCC 8th edition [ie, T1-2N2-N3, T3-T4N0-N3]) or cervical cancer (stages IB to IVA) that has never been treated with curative intent, and who are candidates to begin an SoC treatment (surgery, radiation therapy with or without chemotherapy).
a single intramuscular injection prior to receiving a standard of care 28 days at least after the injection.
