Abstract

Human papillomaviruses (HPVs) are well known for being linked to the development of cervical cancers, most of them being caused by the high-risk (HR) oncogenic genotypes, mainly 16 and 18. The efficacy of 2LPAPI® (Labo’Life), a micro-immunotherapy homeopathic drug, has been evaluated in HR-HPV infected women (n = 18), in a private gynecology practice, by comparing them to an untreated control group (n = 18). Patients were 20 to 45 years old and had cytology with Atypical Squamous Cells of Undetermined Significance (ASCUS) or Low grade Superficial Intra Lesions/ Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia Grade I (LSIL/CINI). Patients freely chose to be treated with the drug or not. Those deciding not to take the drug remained untreated and were followed as a control group. The drug was taken at the regimen of one capsule per day during 6 months. HR-HPV and cytology were evaluated at 6 and 12 months. After 12 months, HR-HPV was cleared in 78% of the patients taking the drug versus 44% in those not taking it (p = 0.086). In patients over 25 years, HR-HPV clearance in the treated group was significantly higher (81.3%) than in the control group (20%) (p = 0.004). The difference in the regression of the lesion grades almost reached statistical significance (p = 0.053). This follow-up confirms that the micro-immunotherapy drug 2LPAPI® is a safe and effective therapeutic approach to treat HR-HPV cervical lesions in women over 25 years.

Highlights

  • Human papillomaviruses (HPVs) are well known for being linked to the development of cervical cancers [1], with most of them being caused by persistent infection of high-risk (HR) oncogenic genotypes, mainly 16 and 18 [2]

  • There is no allopathic treatment available on the market to treat patients infected by HR-HPV

  • The aim of this private follow-up was to determine the efficacy of the medicine 2LPAPI® on HRHPV clearance, compared to the natural clearance occurring in untreated patients, along with its impact on bringing the cells back to a normal cytology

Summary

Introduction

Human papillomaviruses (HPVs) are well known for being linked to the development of cervical cancers [1], with most of them being caused by persistent infection of high-risk (HR) oncogenic genotypes, mainly 16 and 18 [2]. The European population was not impacted as much as the population of the less developed countries (where cervical cancer is the second most common cancer), with 34,000 women being diagnosed in the European Union during the same year [5]. The prevalence of HR-HPV is higher in women in their twenties, reaching 53.6%. This prevalence tends to decrease with age, with about 20% in women between 30 and 50 years of age, and about 16% in older women [6]
