About this study

Official title: The Overlooked Population at Risk for AIN: Women With High-grade Lower Genital Tract Dysplasia or Cervical Cancer.

The purpose of this study is to determine the possibility and compliance of performing anal Pap smear and Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) DNA testing on women with high grade lower genital tract dysplasia or cervical cancer and determining the prevalence of anal dysplasia in this population using a high-resolution anoscopy (HRA). In addition, it is being done to potentially develop screening, diagnostic and treatment protocol for anal dysplasia in women with high-grade lower genital tract dysplasia or cervical cancer.

Read the detailed description

Anal cancer incidence is increasing and although women compose more than half of all cases and those with HPV related lower genital tract dysplasia/malignancy have an even greater risk screening is currently not recommended. We therefore propose performing a prospective cohort study to determine the prevalence of anal dysplasia in women with high-grade lower genital tract dysplasia using high-resolution anoscopy HRA. This will then potentially lead to the development of a screening, diagnosis and treatment schema that can be implemented in all women with high-grade lower genital tract dysplasia. This study can potentially have a high impact on health delivery in women at high risk for anal cancer as this can transform the current treatment of anal cancer to a preventive screening program. This can later be implemented throughout Ontario and in all centers that treat women with cervical dysplasia.

The incidence of anal intraepithelial neoplasm (AIN also known as anal cancer) has increased in Ontario over the last 20 years. Two-thirds of the cases are found in women. The average time between diagnosis of anal cancer and previous cervical dysplasia or cancer is approximately 20 years. This study is giving the opportunity to detect and treat pre-invasive lesions and potentially prevent the development of anal cancer. Currently, no screening, diagnosis or treatment recommendation for anal dysplasia found in women with high-grade lower genital tract dysplasia.

What is being measured

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

  1. Prevalence

    Prevalence of anal dysplasia in women with high grade cervical dysplasia or cervical cancer. Calculated at screening all women with cervical dysplasia or cancer and performing high-resolution anoscopy on those diagnosed with dysplasia.

    Measured: Screening and up to 24 weeks.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Screening Anal Pap Smear - No High Resolution Anoscopy and Screening Anal Pap Smear - With High Resolution Anoscopy in people with High Grade Cervical Dysplasia and Cervical Cancer, run by Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre at 1 site in Canada.

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 2 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Apr 2024. 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 Canada. 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?

Prevalence (time frame: Screening and up to 24 weeks.). 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 17 Apr 2024.
