Brief Summary
The purpose of this Phase 2 study is to compare the effects of administering the PVX4 combination device biologic product (pBI-4 DNA vaccine via electroporation-mediated intramuscular delivery with the TriGridâ„¢ Delivery System) in patients with biopsy-confirmed, human papilloma virus (HPV) 16-associated high grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN2/3) as compared to the administration of placebo.

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Female subjects 18-60 years old with biopsy-confirmed high grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN2/3) confirmed by central review.
- Patients whose cytobrush samples are HPV16+ by Roche Cobas genotyping test. Co-infections with HPV types other than HPV16 are permissible for study entry
- HIV negative
- Patients who are able and willing to comply with all study procedures, and with anticipated availability for the planned follow-up period of one year
- Patients who are of childbearing potential agree to remain sexually abstinent, use methods of contraception (e.g. oral contraception, barrier methods, spermicide, intrauterine device (IUD)), or have a partner who is sterile (i.e., vasectomy) through 6 months.
- Patients must have adequate organ function at the time of enrollment as defined by the following parameters: white blood cell count \>3,000/mcL; lymphocyte number \>500/mcL; absolute neutrophil count \>1,000/mcL; platelets \>90,000/mcL; hemoglobin \>9 g/dL; total bilirubin \<3 X the institutional limit of normal; aspartate aminotransferase (AST \[SGOT\]) / alanine aminotransferase (ALT \[SGPT\]) \<3 X the institutional limit of normal; creatinine \<2.5X the institutional limit of normal.
You may not qualify if:
- Patients who are attempting pregnancy within 6 months, pregnant, or breastfeeding.
- Patients with immunodeficiency, or treatment with immunosuppressive medications
- Administration of any blood product within 3 months of enrollment.
- Administration of any licensed vaccine within 2 weeks of enrollment (4 weeks for a live vaccine)
- Participation in a study with an investigational compound or device within 30 days of signing informed consent.
- History of seizures (unless seizure free for 5 years)
- Previous cancer history within the past 5 years, except localized skin cancer.
- Patients who have had chemotherapy, radiation, biological cancer therapy, or other investigational agents within 28 days prior to the first dose of study drug.
- Patients who have had surgery within 28 days, excluding minor procedures (dental work, skin biopsy, etc).
- Patients with an uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing, or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.
- Patients who have an active autoimmune disease (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), ulcerative colitis, Crohn's Disease, multiple sclerosis (MS), ankylosing spondylitis).
- Previous cervical conization or LEEP procedure or previous total hysterectomy due to cervical lesions at enrollment
- High-grade intraepithelial lesions (CIN2/3) encompassing more than 180-degree (more than 2 quarters) of cervix
- Positive HBV PCR if Hepatitis B surface antigen positive
- Positive HCV PCR if anti-HCV positive
- +11 more criteria

Data Sharing
- IPD Sharing
- Will not share
The primary considerations regarding the determination not to share individual patient data (IPD) are the related to the proprietary commercial development of the candidate and protection of participant privacy and confidentiality. The data collected in this study are considered proprietary and confidential commercial information. Sharing of IPD would pose a risk to the sponsor's clinical development efforts in the competitive marketplace. Aggregate study results will be made available through summary results reporting and peer-reviewed publications. In addition, the sharing of IPD (even when deidentified) poses a potential risk of re-identification, especially given the relatively small patient population being studied.
