HPV Infection CIN1 | Biological: ChAdOx1-HPV Biological: MVA-HPV Biological: Placebo | Phase 1 Phase 2 |
The study consists of an open label, non-randomised, dose escalation Lead in phase. 9 participants with high-risk HPV, in cohorts of 3 in 3 dose ascending groups, will be vaccinated after SMC safety data reviews.
This is followed by a blinded, randomised Main phase with 96 participants with high-risk HPV, in parallel running dose cohorts (three different doses of ChAdOx1-HPV plus two different doses of MVA-HPV versus placebo plus placebo boost). At least 60 of these participants will take part in the immunogenicity sub-study.
A blinded, randomised expansion phase investigating the effects of up to two different main phase doses against placebo will be further defined prior to commencing this phase of the study.

- Incidence of adverse events to measure safety and reactogenicity [ Time Frame: 3 months for the lead-in and 12 months for the main phase ]Measure of adverse events, serious adverse events (SAEs), ≥Grade 3 study vaccine-related adverse events reported.
- Determine the dose of ChAdOx1-HPV plus MVA-HPV vaccines for further development [ Time Frame: 3 months for lead in phase and 12 months for main phase ]Measurement of the highest multi-parameter index made of CD4+ magnitude, CD4+ avidity and CD8+ magnitude at peak timepoint

- Any history of anaphylaxis in reaction to vaccination or history of allergic reactions likely to be exacerbated by any component of the vaccine, e.g. severe allergy to eggs.
- Receipt of any investigational drug or investigational vaccine within 3 months prior to administration of ChAdOx1-HPV on Day 0, or prior participation in a clinical study of any HPV vaccine.
- Receipt of any adenoviral based vaccine within 3 months prior to administration of ChAdOx1 HPV on Day 0, or plan to receive an adenoviral-based vaccine within 3 months after Day 0.

- Current or history of illicit drug use within the 6 months prior to screening.
- Current or history of severe alcohol abuse within the 6 months prior to screening.
- Any laboratory test which is abnormal and deemed by the Investigator to be clinically significant which will potentially affect the participation in the study.
