Trial summary

HPV infection has been recognized as the most prevalent sexual transmitted infection worldwide. Burden of many HPV related diseases is well known particularly regarding the different associated cancers (cervical, anal, vaginal, vulvar, oro-pharyngeal) (3) ; however, there is much less available information on the… Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 45 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult

Study population: Patients attending to gynecologic or STD consult in a mayor out patient clinic in Bogotá (PROFAMILIA). Female and male between 18 - 45 years of age living in Bogota, Colombia.

Who may be able to join

  • Age between 18-45 years.
  • Lesions suspicious of being HPV related.
  • The main manifestations of anogenital warts include:
  • Cauliflower-like condylomata acuminata lesions that usually involve moist surfaces
  • keratotic and smooth papular warts, usually on dry surfaces
  • subclinical "flat" warts, that can be found on any mucosal or cutaneous surface and, which are probably overseen in the majority of cases.
  • Lesions other than the described above, are not to be biopsied, according to the investigator criteria.

Who cannot join

  • Not willing to participate
  • To be a participant in any HPV vaccine clinical trial study
  • Known immune suppressive disease.

About this study

Official title: Prevalence of HPV Genotypes in Genital Warts in Colombian Male and Female Population Attending Medical Services.

HPV infection has been recognized as the most prevalent sexual transmitted infection worldwide. Burden of many HPV related diseases is well known particularly regarding the different associated cancers (cervical, anal, vaginal, vulvar, oro-pharyngeal) (3) ; however, there is much less available information on the general burden of genital warts, the associated HPV types, the costs of related medical treatments and the knowledge and perceptions towards the disease and its prevention.

Objectives:

  1. To determine the HPV genotypes distribution in genital warts in the study population.
  2. To assess the knowledge about transmission \& prevention of HPV infection related diseases
  3. To determine the direct medical costs of genital warts attention.

Study population

Female and male between 18 - 45 years of age living in Bogota, Colombia

Sample frame

Patients attending to gynecologic or STD consult in a mayor out patient clinic in Bogotá (PROFAMILIA)

Analysis

Analysis of the information will be exhaustive. We will calculate prevalence of HPV genotypes in the GW in both sexes separately. Analyses of the survey will include simple frequencies, percentages, and comparison of results related to HPV knowledge with sociodemographic and clinical information. Explorative analysis using parametric or non parametric statistics of the items included in the questionnaire and clinical forms will be done as appropriate. We will calculate the medical cost of patients enrolled in the study. The treatment protocols used for this protocol will reflect the current clinical practice accepted for the treatment of genital warts. We will use national reference cost list (SOAT) to determine the cost of procedures included.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Biopsy ExcisionalProcedure or surgery

    Also called Resection genital warts

    Biopsied from genital warts will be taken through an excisional procedure. Homeostasis will be obtained by using apply of Monsel solution. Biopsied sample will be splinted in order to obtain two pieces, one of them will be frozen (liquid Nitrogen) and designated to the HPV DNA PCR test (GP5, GP6) to be performed at the immunology lab at the National Cancer Institute in Bogotá. The other one will be kept in Formalin solution (10%) and sent to the pathology laboratory for haematoxiline - eosine paint and lecture.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Genital Warts and HPV Infections, run by La Fundacion para la Investigacion y el Desarrollo.

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 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 20 Mar 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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.

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 20 Mar 2012.
