Participant Flow

Recruitment for the LIMIT-HPV trial began in February 2016 at the following sites in Montreal, Canada: McGill University Health Centre, Clinique Médicale Urbaine du Quartier-Latin, Clinique OPUS, and two student health services clinics (McGill and Concordia universities). From September 2018 to March 2020, study visits were completed at McGill University's Division of Cancer Epidemiology's research clinic. 255 of the 258 participants were enrolled and analyzed at the time of interim analysis.

Measure
Carrageenan-based Gel
The intervention to be administered is: * a commercially available gel that contains carrageenan. * water-based, latex-condom compatible, clear, odourless, tasteless, and have similar viscosity as the placebo gel. * also packaged in a similar plastic bottle with a disk cap that can be operated with one finger, and must be applied prior to anal intercourse during the entire study period. Around 15 ml of the personal lubricant will be dispensed into the hand and applied directly to the genital, anal, and condom surfaces prior to and as needed during anal sex. When sexual activity ceases, the water-based formulation of the gel allows it to be easily removed with lukewarm water. Carrageenan-based gel: Carrageenan is a non-toxic gelling agent safe in animals and humans as a potent HPV inhibitor. An anionic polymer derived from red algae, carrageenan has a long history of human use as a stabilizer and emulsifier in many industries. All three major classes of carrageenan act as extremely potent HPV inhibitors and block HPV infection by binding to the viral capsid, thus preventing attachment to the appropriate cell-surface heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPG) receptors.
Control Gel
The intervention to be administered is: * a commercially available gel that does not contain carrageenan. * water-based, latex-condom compatible, clear, odourless, tasteless, and have similar viscosity as the carrageenan-containing gel. * also packaged in a similar plastic bottle with a disk cap that can be operated with one finger, and must be applied prior to anal intercourse during the entire study period. Around 15 ml of the personal lubricant will be dispensed into the hand and applied directly to the genital, anal, and condom surfaces prior to and as needed during anal sex. When sexual activity ceases, the water-based formulation of the gel allows it to be easily removed with lukewarm water. Control gel: A gel not containing carrageenan

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: One year follow-up

Population: 201 participants were included in the intention to treat analyses. Of the 255 initially randomized, 45 were excluded because they only had one visit and 9 were excluded because HPV data was unavailable.

Detection of 36 different HPV types will allow for the assessment of new HPV types even among those already infected.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: One year follow-up

Population: Of the 255 participants randomized at the time of interim analysis, there were 134 participants positive for HPV at baseline that had at least 2 visits with valid HPV results. These 134 participants were included in the clearance analyses.

Detection of 36 different HPV types will allow for the assessment of clearance of any HPV type or specific HPV types.

22 Participants

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: One year follow-up

Population: Of the 255 participants randomized at the time of interim analysis, 210 participants had available follow-up and were included in adherence and safety analyses.

Measured via questionnaires and review of patient adverse event reports. Adherence was defined as the number of times the gel was used during receptive anal intercourse divided by the number of receptive anal intercourse in the 7 days preceding each visit. Participants were considered adherent at a particular visit if they used the gel during receptive anal intercourse ≥ 50% of the time. This variable was analyzed at the visit level. Safety analyses are included in the adverse event reporting section.
