Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 20 years and older
  • Women only
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Investigators plan to recruit 5,000 women to participate this study in Taiwan. Papanicolaou test, high-risk HPV typing and DNA methylation will be co-tested. It is expected to find an optimal solution for molecular cervical cancer screening. The participant will be recruited by Mackay Memorial Hospital, Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, and Lin-Hsin Hospital.

Who may be able to join

  • women with age ≥20 and sexual experience
  • Agree to sign ICF

Who cannot join

  • women had received Hysterectomy
  • women had destructive therapy for cervical lesions in 6 months, for examples: conization, Laser or cryotherapy, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy
  • Women are at pregnancy or had baby delivery in 6 weeks

What is being measured

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

  1. Performance of DNA methylation in identification of CIN3 or worse.

    Patient's information, including clinical diagnosis and the molecular testing results etc., will be collected. Performances of the screening tools will be compared.

    Measured: 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia and Cervical Cancer, run by iStat Biomedical CO., Ltd. at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 3 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 17 Nov 2015. 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 Taiwan. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Chien-Ping Hung (+886-2-2696-3518 ext. 15, apple@istatbio.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Performance of DNA methylation in identification of CIN3 or worse. (time frame: 3 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 NCT02605941, which also lists 6 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?
