About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Phase II Clinical Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of NWRD09 in Patients With HPV16-Positive Cervical High-Grade Squamous Intraepithelial Lesion (HSIL)

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled Phase 2 study to determine the efficacy and safety of NWRD09 administered by intramuscular (IM) injection in adult women with histologically confirmed cervical high grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) (cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2 [CIN2] or grade 3 [CIN3]) associated with human papillomavirus (HPV) 16.

Read the detailed description

This is a Phase II, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of NWRD09 in patients with HPV16 positive cervical high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL). Eligible participants are randomized to receive either NWRD09 or the corresponding placebo.

Participants will receive intramuscular injections of either NWRD09 or matching placebo at the corresponding dose at weeks 0, 2, 4, and 12 (a total of 4 doses).

Efficacy evaluations at Week 24 will include histopathological biopsy and HPV testing.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing NWRD09 Injection in people with High-grade Squamous Intraepithelial Lesion (HSIL), run by Newish Biotech (Wuxi) Co., Ltd. at 15 sites in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 24 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Jul 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 15 sites in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Bin Li, M.D. (86-010-87788495, libin@cicams.ac.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Proportion of Participants with Histopathological Regression of Cervical Lesions to non-HSIL (LSIL/CIN1 or no lesion) at week 24. (time frame: Week24). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 17 Jul 2026; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
