Trial summary

Despite declining mortality in high-income countries, cervical cancer continues to be a public health problem in low and middle -income countries. HPV tests have shown a better sensibility and a higher capacity of reducing mortality than cytology based-screening. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Effect of HPV Self-collection in Adherence to Cervical Cancer Screening Algorithms

Despite declining mortality in high-income countries, cervical cancer continues to be a public health problem in low and middle -income countries. HPV tests have shown a better sensibility and a higher capacity of reducing mortality than cytology based-screening. Greater participation has been demonstrated with the use of HPV self-testing when it is offered to women with a poor screening history; however, it is not clear whether getting tested necessarily translates into a greater adherence to the entire clinical protocol, including diagnosis and treatment of precancerous lesions. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of the self-testing techniques on the participation and adherence of women to cervical cancer screening.

Read the detailed description

The investigators will perform a randomized clinical trial with three arms including: regular HPV with cytology triage, colpo/biopsy, and treatment if indicated; HPV self-collection without cytology triage but with colpo/biopsy and treatment if indicated, HPV self-collection with immediate treatment for women with positive test results. This study will be carried out in two different settings with differential access to diagnosis and treatment. Two methods will be used for inviting women and collecting samples: mail and door-to-door. Participation (screening uptake) and adherence to the clinical protocol (compliance with diagnosis and treatment) will be evaluated.

What participants receive

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

  • CERVICAL HPVDiagnostic test

    A screening test with an HPV test is performed by a health professional plus cytology taking, if it reports positive, colposcopy and biopsy are taken, those with a CIN2 + report are directed to receive treatment.

  • SELF SAMPLING HPVDiagnostic test

    A screening test is performed with an HPV test by self-testing, if it reports positive, women will receive ablative treatment according to eligibility criteria. If they do not meet the criteria for ablation, they will be referred for excisional treatment.

What is being measured

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

  1. Participation

    Number of women that undergo the screening test / total number of women invited.

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Adherence

    Number of women that undergo the screening test + women who completed the diagnosis and treatment process / total number of women invited + total number of women with a positive screening in follow-up protocols.

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Quality of HPV samples

    Number of samples suitable for analysis / Total number of samples

    Measured: 1 year

  2. CIN2 + rate in the study population

    Number of CIN2 + diagnosed / total women screened

    Measured: 1 year

  3. CIN2 + rate in population with positive screening

    Number of CIN2 + diagnosed / total of women positive at screening

    Measured: 1 year

Model description
A randomized clinical trial with three arms will be performed: One group with the routine screening procedure based on HPV tests with cervical sampling by a health personnel ( 3 visits: sampling, colpo/biopsy, treatment of CIN2 +), a second group with a screening based on HPV self-testing and colposcopic evaluation (2 visits: colpo/biopsy, treatment of CIN2 + ); and a third group with a screening based only on HPV self-testing (1 visit: HPV + treatment according to eligibility).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing CERVICAL HPV and SELF SAMPLING HPV in people with Cervical Cancer and HPV Infection, run by Instituto Nacional de Cancerologia, Columbia at 1 site in Colombia.

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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Dec 2021. 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 Colombia. 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?

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?

Participation (time frame: 1 year). The study lists 2 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 10 Dec 2021.
