Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Frequency and severity of adverse events (AEs)
To assess the severity of the adverse event is assessed according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE), version 5.0.
Secondary outcomes
Intralesional T-cell infiltration
To assess the intralesional T-cell infiltration in tumour tissue available from surgery or biopsy by immunohistological staining.
Biodistribution
To evaluate the presence of FluBHPVE6E7 by quantification of FluBHPVE6E7 genome copies in nasal secretion samples by RT-qPCR (copies per ml blood).
Virus recovery in oropharyngeal secretion samples
To evaluate the presence of FluBHPVE6E7 by quantification of FluBHPVE6E7 genome copies in oropharyngeal secretion samples by RT-qPCR (copies per sample).
Virus recovery in saliva
To evaluate the presence of FluBHPVE6E7 by quantification of FluBHPVE6E7 genome copies in saliva samples by RT-qPCR (copies per sample).
