- Previous HPV vaccination (latest dose at least 24 months earlier than Day 0)
- Patients able to accept and sign informed consent for the study
- Patients able to adhere to the proposed study protocol
Exclusion Criteria:
- High grade cervical lesions (HSIL)
- Ongoing pregnancy, evaluated through a rapid chromatographic immunoassay for qualitative detection of hCG in urine

Foranstaltningsbeskrivelse |
Tidsramme |
|---|---|---|
|
Rate of clearance of viral oncoproteins E6 and E7
Tidsramme: 6 months
|
The percentage of participants showing a negative result for viral E6/E7 mRNA, which are key indicators of HPV DNA integration into the host genome.
Analysis will be performed using the Aptima HPV assay, a transcription-mediated amplification (TMA) technique.
A negative test result indicates viral clearance or loss of viral integration.

HPV DNA Clearance Rate
Tidsramme: 6 months
|
The rate of participants who test negative for high-risk HPV DNA using a multiplex PCR kit (Allplex II HPV 28 Detection).
A negative result is defined as the absence of detectable high-risk HPV DNA above the analytical limit of detection

|
Quantitative Variation of E6/E7 Levels from baseline to T1
Tidsramme: 6 months
|
Variation of E6/E7 mRNA levels.
Exploratory analysis of quantitative signals generated by the Aptima assay in the form of Relative Luminescent Units (RLU).
The RLU value directly corresponds to the amount of target E6/E7 mRNA detected in the sample.
