Trial summary

Anal condylomatosis is an anal canal mucosa pathology caused by HPV infection (Human Papilloma Virus). This condition is common, especially in immunodepressed patients. These lesions are not accessible to topical medical treatment because of their location. Read more about this study

About this study

Anal condylomatosis is an anal canal mucosa pathology caused by HPV infection (Human Papilloma Virus). This condition is common, especially in immunodepressed patients.

These lesions are not accessible to topical medical treatment because of their location. They should be treated surgically because they may degenerate into squamous cell carcinoma.

Read more

In the operating room, lesions are identified by a complete proctologic examination, more or less supplemented by an acetic acid test. Acetic acid allows to detect mucous degeneration (dysplasia) in the form of intense bleaching. The interpretation of this test may nevertheless be difficult in case of local inflammation or scarring. These false positives may lead to unnecessary surgical gestures. The surgical procedure consists of a mucosectomy or destruction of the condylomatosis by electrocoagulation.

The acetic acid test is used at the discretion of the surgeon. However, there is little data on its performance or consensus on its use.

What is being measured

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

  1. Positive predictive value of the acetic acid test in comparison with the anatomopathological analysis of the biopsies performed on the lesions revealed by acetic acid

    Application of acetic acid just before surgery to identify suspect areas of dysplasia.

    Biopsies of suspicious areas bleached with acetic acid. The true positives (TP) will correspond to lesions bleached by acetic acid and showing dysplasia at biopsy. False positives (FP) will correspond to lesions bleached by acetic acid but not showing dysplasia at biopsy. The positive predictive value (PPV) will be the proportion of TP over the total number of bleached lesions. (PPV = TP / (TP + FP)). The PPV will be given with its 95% confidence interval (95%CI).

    Measured: the day of surgery

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Evaluation of the toxicity of the acetic acid test

    Collection of adverse events associated with acetic acid use in peroperative time

    Measured: the day of surgery

  2. Identify a patient subgroup in which the acetic acid test would be particularly discriminatory

    Pre-surgery data collection on patient file at pre operative visit

    Measured: up to 5 months before surgery

  3. post-surgery pain

    self-assessed using a visual analog scale at 5; 12 hours post surgery;at Day 1; Day 2 ; Day 3; Day 7 ; Day 14; Day 21 post surgery; 1 month post-surgery

    Measured: up to 1 month post surgery

  4. change in post-surgery incontinence

    evaluation with the Wexner score (anal incontinence score used internationally) before surgery (at pre operative visit) and 1 month post-surgery

    Measured: up to 5 months before surgery and 1 month post surgery

  5. Clinical recurrence of anal condylomatosis

    Measured: 1 month post surgery

  6. Duration of sick leave

    number of days of sick leave

    Measured: 1 month post surgery

  7. Number of unscheduled medical visits

    Measured: 1 month post surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing acetic acid test in people with Anal Condyloma, run by Hospices Civils de Lyon at 1 site in France.

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 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 14 Jan 2019. 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 France. 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?

Positive predictive value of the acetic acid test in comparison with the anatomopathological analysis of the biopsies performed on the lesions revealed by acetic acid (time frame: the day of surgery). 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 Jan 2019.
