Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a prevalent pathogen, the epidemiology of which has mostly been studied in the uterine cervix and the vagina.
The KCE Report 238Cs (2015) recommends " HR-HPV-positive women should not be offered colposcopy immediately. Triage should be done using cytology for this purpose. If cytological abnormalities (ASCUS+) are found, immediate referral should follow for diagnosis and, where appropriate, treatment. If no abnormalities are observed in triage, the subject should be offered follow-up testing (cytology) at six months. ".
There is no treatment that is recommended during this lap time. The 2LPAPI® has been available for more than 20 years, and has received a marketing authorization in Belgium by the FAMHP. It is used as an immune regulator in the treatment of HR-HPV infections. Since 2LPAPI® has been made available, clinical observational data collected on treated patients have shown the beneficial effect on the clearance of HPV.
The purpose of this placebo-controlled trial is to evaluate the efficacy of 2LPAPI® on the clearance of genital HR-HPV infections.

---|---|---|
Human Papilloma Virus | Drug: 2LPAPI® Drug: Placebo | Phase 4 |
The study duration will be 24 months with 12 months of inclusion and 12 months of follow-up. Patients aged between 25 and 45 years who present cervical abnormalities during the routine screening visit for cervical cancer prevention.
The total number of patients to include will be 284 with 142 patients per group.
Primary objective:
Comparison of the efficacy of 2LPAPI® versus placebo on the clearance of genital HR-HPV infections after 12 months of follow-up.
Secondary objectives:
Comparison of 2LPAPI® versus placebo on:
- HR-HPV infection clearance rate at 6-month visits,
- HR-HPV infection clearance rate by HPV type at 6-month and 12-month visits,
- Normal cytology,
- Safety.
Treatment phase:
Group n°1 = 2LPAPI® (6 months of treatment) Group n°2 = Placebo (6 months of treatment) Post-treatment follow-up phase: 6 months. Treatment will be considered successful if the clearance of HR-HPV is done and the cytology is normal.

Experimental: 2LPAPI® arm
The treatment schema consists in taking the content of one capsule a day, 15-30 minutes before breakfast, on an empty stomach, sequentially, according to capsules' numerical order: 1 through 10. When capsule number 10 is taken, capsule 1 of the next blister should be taken on the next day to continue the treatment. The duration of treatment will be 6 months of continuous intake of the content of 1 capsule/day.

- Comparison of the efficacy of 2LPAPI® versus placebo on the clearance of genital HR-HPV infections after 12 months of follow-up. [ Time Frame: 12 months ]The primary objective of the study will be to compare the number of patients with positive HR-HPV infection status observed at 12 months and the number of patients with positive HR-HPV infection status observed at the inclusion.
- Comparison of 2LPAPI® versus placebo on HR-HPV infection clearance rate at 6-month visits. [ Time Frame: 6 months ]The objective of this outcome will be to compare the number of patients with positive HR-HPV infection status observed at 6 months and the number of patients with positive HR-HPV infection status observed at the inclusion.
- Comparison of 2LPAPI® versus placebo on HR-HPV infection clearance rate by HPV type at 6-month and 12-month visits. [ Time Frame: 6 and 12 months ]The objective of this outcome will be to compare the number of patients with specific type of HPV infection observed at 6 and 12 months and the number of patients with specific HPV infection status observed at the inclusion.
- Normal cytology [ Time Frame: 6 and 12 months ]The objective of this outcome will be to compare the number of patients with normal cytology at 6-month and 12-month visits.
- Occurrence of adverse events (AEs) and severe adverse events (SAEs), considered as related or not to the study drug [ Time Frame: 6 months ]
