Probiotics to Treat HSIL and Reduce Persistent High Risk HPV Infection in Women and Men Living With HIV
University of California, San Francisco
Summary
This study is focused on treatment of anal high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL) in persons with HIV (PWH), with the ultimate goal of applying the approach toward prevention of anal cancer in this population
Description
This is a randomized double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial. PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. Evaluate regression to no disease among people with HIV (PWH) with anal HSIL at baseline at Week 36. II. To determine the safety of EXE-346 in PWH. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To evaluate regression to LSIL or normal at Week 36 among PWH with anal HSIL at baseline. II. To evaluate clearance at Week 36 to HPV-negative in anal swab for type(s) found at the baseline visit in PWH. EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine if changes in the microbiome from baseline to Week 36 correlate with regression of anal H…
