About this trial

The purpose of this Phase 2 study is to compare the effects of administering the PVX4 combination device biologic product (pBI-4 DNA vaccine via electroporation-mediated intramuscular delivery with the TriGrid™ Delivery System) in patients with biopsy-confirmed, human papilloma virus (HPV) 16-associated high grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN2/3) as compared to the administration of placebo.
