About this study

Official title: Methyl Aminolevulinate (MAL) and Hexaminolevulinate (HAL) Photodynamic Therapy (PDT)of Cervical Intraepithelial Lesions (SIL) - a Double-blind Dose-finding Study

The study will determine the best drug (MAL or HAL) dosage for photodynamic therapy of cervical precancerous lesions (dysplasia) in women that are referred for conisation (surgery).

Read the detailed description

Surgery (conisation) of precancerous cervical lesions (dysplasia) increase the risk of preterm deliveries in young women. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a selective, tissue preserving method that may become a good treatment option for these patients.

This study will explore topical application of methyl aminolevulinate (MAL) and hexaminolevulinate (HAL) of the cervix for photodynamic therapy using red light (630 nm). Different doses of MAL and HAL will be used with different application time, followed by illumination.

Being tested

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing methyl aminolevulinate (MAL) and hexaminolevulinate (HAL) in people with Cervical Dysplasia, run by Photocure at 2 sites in 2 countries.

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 1 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Nov 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Germany, Norway. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Lesion eradication (time frame: 6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

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?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 30 Nov 2010.
