Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This is a single centre open label phase II trial to determine the antitumor efficacy of the oral immunomodulatory agent pomalidomide in persistent human papillomavirus (HPV) -associated high grade squamous intra-epithelial lesions (HSIL) in patients with and without human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Pomalidomide group

Open label - all participants will receive pomalidomide 2mg orally once a day for 6 cycles (21 days on treatment and a 7 day rest period constitutes a cycle).

Drug: Pomalidomide 2 MG Oral Capsule [Pomalyst]
Pomalidomide is an oral immunomodulatory derivative of thalidomide. Thalidomide and its derivatives are small molecules with broad effects on immune activation, including T-cell activation and responsiveness. Pomalidomide augments T cell responsiveness and proliferation by several mechanisms, many mediated by transcriptional regulation downstream of its primary target, cereblon. Effects include increased production of IL-2 and interferon-γ (IFN-γ), enhanced CD4+ and CD8+ T cell co-stimulation.
