About this study

Ultrasonic surgical aspiration of the cervix may be an effective method of treating cervical dysplasia without compromising the integrity of the cervix in reproductive age women.

Read the detailed description

Women age 18 to 55 years of age with Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia 2 or 3 on colposcopy with a negative EndoCervical Curettage are enrolled in a pilot study comparing ultrasonic surgical aspiration and traditional cervical excision procedure for the treatment of cervical dysplasia. In this pilot study, the patients serve as their own control group. Prior to receiving the traditional treatment for cervical dysplasia consisting of Cold Knife Conization with EndoCervical Curettage, each patient's cervix is treated with ultrasonic surgical aspiration. The aspirate is sent to pathology and the results compared with the findings from the cervical cone biopsy. The patients then are followed with Liquid-based Cytology pap smears every 4 to 6 months until completion of the study enrollment/treatment period.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing cervical conization and ultrasonic surgical aspiration of the cervix in people with Cervical Dysplasia, run by University of Tennessee at 2 sites 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 4 inclusion and 3 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 15 Dec 2008. 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 United States. 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.

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?

Adequate treatment of cervical dysplasia. 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 15 Dec 2008.
