PAPZIMEOS is changing the treatment landscape1,3
A recommended first-line treatment for RRP1,2
PAPZIMEOS is the first immunotherapy that targets the root cause, helping to reduce the need for frequent surgeries1,3*
Patients with recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) are unable to clear the papillomas, suggesting an immunologic deficiency may be involved in the development of the disease. As an immunotherapy administered as a subcutaneous injection, PAPZIMEOS is designed to activate the patient’s immune system to elicit a T-cell response against human papillomavirus (HPV) 6- and HPV 11‑infected papilloma cells.1,4
Watch now to learn the science behind PAPZIMEOS
The adenoviral vector expresses a fusion antigen that triggers the immune activation. Expression of this antigen elicits an immune response against papilloma cells expressing HPV 6 or HPV 11.1
As an immunotherapy, PAPZIMEOS works differently than the preventative HPV vaccine. Vaccination aims at prevention, whereas PAPZIMEOS was developed to activate T cells to target the underlying disease and papillomas that have grown as a result of chronic HPV infection.1,5
Prior to the initial administration of PAPZIMEOS, perform a surgical debulking of visible papilloma to establish minimal residual disease (MRD). PAPZIMEOS is administered as a subcutaneous injection 4 times over a 12-week interval. To maintain MRD during treatment with PAPZIMEOS, you may choose to remove visible papilloma, if present, prior to the third and fourth administration of PAPZIMEOS.1
