About this study

Official title: Prevalence of Anal Dysplasia and Anal Cancer in Women With Cervical, Vaginal and Vulvar Dysplasia and Cancer

This trial studies the prevalence of anal dysplasia and anal cancer in patients with cervical, vaginal, and vulvar dysplasia and cancer. Studying samples collected from patients in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about the human papillomavirus and how often anal cancer occurs in patients with cervix, vagina, or vulvar cancer.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To estimate the prevalence of invasive squamous cell carcinoma of the anus in women with high-grade dysplasia or carcinoma of the cervix, vagina or vulva.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To estimate the prevalence of anal dysplasia in women with high-grade dysplasia or carcinoma of the cervix, vagina or vulva.

EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To estimate the clinical performance (sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values, and positive and negative likelihood ratios) of anal pap testing to diagnose anal dysplasia in women with high-grade dysplasia or carcinoma of the cervix, vagina or vulva.

II. To estimate the clinical performance (sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values, and positive and negative likelihood ratios) of anal high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) testing to diagnose anal dysplasia in women with high-grade dysplasia or carcinoma of the cervix, vagina or vulva.

III. To estimate the clinical performance (sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values, and positive and negative likelihood ratios) of anal pap testing and HPV testing (anal "cotesting") to diagnose anal dysplasia in women with high-grade dysplasia or carcinoma of the cervix, vagina or vulva.

IV. To determine associations between gut and cervical microbiomes and anal dysplasia/carcinoma in women with high-grade dysplasia or carcinoma of the cervix, vagina, or vulva.

  1. To estimate the prevalence of oral HPV infection in women with high-grade dysplasia or carcinoma of the cervix, vagina or vulva.

VI. To compare a new HPV point of care test developed by Rice University with current standard HPV testing.

What is being measured

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

  1. Prevalence of invasive squamous cell carcinoma of the anus

    Will estimate the prevalence of invasive squamous cell carcinoma of the anus in women with 95% confidence intervals.

    Measured: Up to 5 years

  2. Sensitivity and specificity of anal pap testing to diagnose anal dysplasia

    Will use the results of anoscopy as the true state of the patient and will estimate with 95% confidence intervals.

    Measured: Up to 5 years

  3. Sensitivity and specificity of anal human papillomavirus (HPV) testing to diagnose anal dysplasia

    Will use the results of anoscopy as the true state of the patient and will estimate with 95% confidence intervals.

    Measured: Up to 5 years

  4. Sensitivity and specificity of the combination of anal pap testing + anal HPV testing to diagnose anal dysplasia

    Will use the results of anoscopy as the true state of the patient and will estimate with 95% confidence intervals.

    Measured: Up to 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Biospecimen Collection and Laboratory Biomarker Analysis in people with Cervical Adenocarcinoma and Cervical Adenocarcinoma In Situ, run by M.D. Anderson Cancer Center 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 3 inclusion and 4 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Jul 2025. 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 was stopped early. Results are not available in the source record.

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 of invasive squamous cell carcinoma of the anus (time frame: Up to 5 years). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 14 Jul 2025.
