Trial summary

Human papillomavirus (HPV) of high-risk genotype is a necessary risk factor in development of cervical cancer. There is a vaccine available to prevent cervical lesions associated with high-risk HPV genotypes 16 and 18. In Croatia HPV vaccination has not yet been introduced in obligatory vaccination schedule.

About this study

Official title: Pre-vaccination Distribution of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Genotypes in Patients With High Grade Cervical Squamous Intraepithelial Lesion (HSIL) and Cervical Cancer From Croatia

Human papillomavirus (HPV) of high-risk genotype is a necessary risk factor in development of cervical cancer. There is a vaccine available to prevent cervical lesions associated with high-risk HPV genotypes 16 and 18. In Croatia HPV vaccination has not yet been introduced in obligatory vaccination schedule. The aim of this study is to describe the pre-vaccination distribution of HPV genotypes in women with high grade cervical squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) and cervical cancer in Croatia. The investigators hypothesis is that HPV-16 is the most frequently found genotype but the distribution of other HPV genotypes is heterogeneous and includes genotypes currently not covered by vaccination.

Read the detailed description

This is a single-center cross-sectional study on the molecular virology of human papillomavirus (HPV) in Croatia. The study will enroll women aged 18-65 years of age with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN2+)cervical lesions that received clinical care at the Croatian Center for Pre-malignant and Malignant Diseases of the Cervix. Women with abnormal cytology (high grade cervical squamous intraepithelial lesion-HSIL, cervical cancer) in the period from 2010 to 2012 will be included. Relevant epidemiological and clinical data will be collected. Biological samples will include both biopsy specimens from cervix and cervical swab. Biological samples will be put in Digene Specimen Transport Medium (Qiagen, Gaithersburg, MD) and further analyzed at the Department of Molecular Diagnostics at the University Hospital for Infectious Diseases in Zagreb. HPV genotyping will be performed by using a standardized molecular assay INNO-LiPA HPV Genotyping Extra Test (Solvay S.A., Brussels, Belgium). Analysis of genomic variants of HPV 16 genotype will be performed by population-based sequencing of L1 genome region.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Pre-vaccination distribution of HPV genotypes in women with HSIL and invasive cervical carcinoma

    To assess the distribution of different high-risk HPV genotypes in biopsy specimens of 400 women with cytological diagnosis of HSIL and cervical cancer. Biopsy will be performed during colposcopy as a part of of routine clinical work-up in women with abnormal PAP smear finding.

    Measured: two years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. HPV vaccine coverage in Croatia

    To evaluate the percentage of HSIL and cervical cancer that can be prevented by current HPV vaccine.

    Measured: two years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cervical Cancer, run by University Hospital for Infectious Diseases, Croatia at 1 site in Croatia.

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 2 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Jun 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Croatia. 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?

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

Contact Adriana Vince, MD, PhD (++38512826222, avince@bfm.hr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Pre-vaccination distribution of HPV genotypes in women with HSIL and invasive cervical carcinoma (time frame: two years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01385436, which also lists 5 linked publications.

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 Jun 2011.
