- description
- In Part 1A, SQZ-eAPC-HPV as a monotherapy is administered every 3 weeks for up to a year. There are 3 groups ("Cohorts") in this Phase as follows: * Cohort 1: low dose SQZ-eAPC-HPV * Cohort 2: intermediate dose SQZ-eAPC-HPV * Cohort 3: high dose SQZ-eAPC-HPV Additional provisional cohorts may be opened prior to starting Part 1B.

- Part 1B Combination Phase
- description
- In Part 1B, SQZ-eAPC-HPV is administered in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitor pembrolizumab. SQZ-eAPC-HPV will be administered on Day 1 of Cycle 1 and 200 mg of pembrolizumab will be administered on Day 8 of Cycle 1. In future cycles, patients will be first administered SQZ-eAPC-HPV and then pembrolizumab on the first day of each cycle, every 3 weeks for a maximum of 1 year for SQZ-eAPC-HPV, and 2 years for pembrolizumab.
