About this study

Official title: Patient Compliance to Self-collection for Detection of HPV-DNA in Cervical Cancer Prevention: A Clinical Trial

A study to investigate the compliance of unassisted women to self-collection of specimens for Hybrid Capture (HC) for detection of Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) DNA compared to Pap smear collection by medical personnel, as screening method to identify precursor lesions of cervical cancer.

Read the detailed description

Women living in the community of the Morro dos Macacos, Vila Isabel, Rio de Janeiro, were randomly allocated for self-collection of specimens for HC II for detection of HPV-DNA or to Pap smear collection by medical personnel, as screening method to identify precursor lesions of cervical cancer.

The compliance was measured by the delivery of the specimen obtained by self-collection or to attend to a visit at the community health center to be submitted to Pap smear collection, within a week.

Being tested
Self-collection, Gynecologist collection
Keywords

What participants receive

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

  • Self-collectionProcedure or surgery

    Women allocated to this arm will be asked to obtain a specimen of vaginal/cervical by self-collection for HCII.

  • Gynecologist collectionProcedure or surgery

    Women allocated to this arm will be asked to attend to medical office to have their Pap smear obtained by a gynecologist

What is being measured

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

  1. Compliance to self-collection for detection of HPV-DNA measured by the percentage of subjects that returned the vaginal self-collected sample or attended to the medical appointment according to allocation.

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?

Compliance to self-collection for detection of HPV-DNA measured by the percentage of subjects that returned the vaginal self-collected sample or attended to the medical appointment according to allocation. (time frame: One week after inclusion). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
