HPV infection transmission among families
Part of Cancer, Ear, nose & throat, Infections, Mouth & dental, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study explores how high-risk HPV (a virus linked to certain cancers) spreads between family members, including sexual partners and children over 12. It aims to learn more about the transmission routes to help prevent future infections.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a long-lasting high-risk HPV infection that won't go away.
- You have been diagnosed with cervical cancer or oral cavity cancer (OSCC).
- You are the sexual partner of someone referred to a colposcopy or cancer clinic for HPV-related issues.
- You are the child (over 12 years old) of one of the couples being studied.
- You speak Finnish.

This study tests if a self-collected sample for HPV testing works as well as standard colposcopy to prevent cervical cancer. If you've recently had an abnormal cervical cancer screening and need a colposcopy, this trial may be an option for you.
This study checks whether “liquid biopsies” (blood tests that look for cancer-related signals) can help monitor how HPV-related cancers respond to treatment. It may help doctors spot changes earlier during care.
This trial studies oropharyngeal (throat) cancer, including certain HPV-related cancers of unknown starting point, using several ways to measure tumor features. The goal is to better understand these cancers and possibly guide future care.
This study looks at how HPV infection and genetic changes relate to head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. If you have this type of cancer, joining could help doctors learn more about the disease and improve future treatments.
This study looks at HPV-related health in the genital and anal areas of women who have HPV-positive oropharyngeal cancer, or are the female partners of someone who does. The goal is to better understand how HPV affects these areas over time.
This study follows people with severe or hard-to-treat HPV-related conditions (and some closely related partners/household contacts) to learn how the virus causes illness and how the immune system responds. It may help doctors better predict who will develop severe disease and guide future treatments.
