About this study

Official title: Multi-Institutional Prospective Cohort Study For The Comparison Of Different Primary Screening Strategies For The Detection Of Cervical Neoplasia

RATIONALE: Screening tests may help doctors detect abnormal cells in the cervix early and plan effective treatment.

PURPOSE: Screening trial to compare different types of screening tests used to detect cervical neoplasia.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Compare the sensitivity and specificity of primary screening strategies for the detection of cervical intraepithelial or invasive neoplasia.
  • Compare the positive and negative predictive values of these strategies.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to the reason for the visit (general gynecological screening vs colposcopy referral).

  • Stratum 1 (general gynecological screening): Patients undergo Pap smear, visual inspection aided by acetic acid (VIA), a colposcopy, and finally a visual inspection aided by toluidine blue (VIT) followed by an acetic acid wash. A biopsy may be performed at this initial visit. Within 2-3 weeks, patients are notified of results.
  • Stratum 2 (colposcopy referral): Patients undergo Pap smear, VIA, colposcopy, VIT, and possible biopsy as in stratum 1. During the same visit, patients receive histologic evaluation and treatment with See-and-Treat loop electrosurgical excision procedure and/or endocervical curettage.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 600-1,000 patients (300-500 per stratum) will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Papanicolaou test, cytology specimen collection procedure and annual screening in people with Cervical Cancer, run by Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
