About this study

Official title: Focal Ablation of High-grade Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia

This is a pilot cohort study of women undergoing focal ablation for high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (HGCIN). The cohort was recruited from the UCSF Dysplasia Clinics. The standard treatment involves treatment of the entire cervix. Women with HGCIN meeting inclusion criteria were recruited for enrollment into the pilot study of focal treatment. Upon enrollment, they underwent focal ablational treatment rather than standard ablational treatment of the cervix. Follow-up visits were conducted at 2 weeks and 6 months to assess safety, feasibility, and acceptability. The 6-month recurrence rate of HGCIN will be calculated.

What is being measured

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

  1. Six-month recurrence rate of high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia

    Measured: six months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Safety of focal treatment

    Participants will be asked to report any adverse events following focal treatment. These events will be graded according to standard criteria (DAIDS).

    Measured: six months

  2. Acceptability of focal treatment

    Participants will be asked to respond to a survey at enrollment and follow-up asking whether they are satisfied with focal treatment as an alternative method of treatment.

    Measured: six months

  3. Feasibility of focal treatment

    Providers will be asked to provide information after each treatment regarding whether the treatment was technically feasible to perform.

    Measured: enrollment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Focal treatment in people with High-grade Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia, run by University of California, San Francisco 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 4 inclusion and 7 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 Feb 2018. 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 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?

Six-month recurrence rate of high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (time frame: six 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 20 Feb 2018.
