About this study

Official title: Closing the Gap Between Identification and Treatment of Cervical Abnormalities in Lima, Perú Through Integraton of Pocket Colposcopy, Telemedicine and Visual Counseling

The Pocket colposcope has 510k FDA clearance and has been successfully used in almost 1500 unique patients globally in Duke and non-Duke protocols to date. The objective is to provide colposcopy capability to rural communities in Peru potentially using Telehealth. Approximately 10,000 women will receive self HPV test kit for community health workers. Of these participants, approximately 1,000 HPV+ participants will be invited to participate in this pocket colposcopy study. Approximately 500 of these participants may require treatment using thermocoagulation.

Read the detailed description

The goal is to demonstrate that the combination of self-sampling, the Pocket colposcope and the thermocoagulator will yield a high proportion of HPV positive women who complete treatment and follow-up care. The bulk of this trial will occur over a two-year period in Peru. Duke will provide the Pocket colposcope and the Calla application to run the device only. Dr. Garcia will recruit and train community women for the distribution of self-collection HPV test kits, identify and partner with 10 to 12 health centers in the Andean region of Peru, conduct baseline data collection in each health center, procure necessary equipment and technology, and conduct training for HPV testing, Pocket colposcopy, and thermocoagulation. Within 18 months trained community women will distribute 10,000 HPV tests to women within the region. The investigators anticipate that 10% of the women screened will be HPV positive and they will be recruited for our trial. As part of the study the participants will be followed to determine if the participants attend a health center, receive Pocket colposcopy, and if needed whether the participants are treated with the thermocoagulator device. All women will be appointed to return to the health center for a follow-up evaluation six months post-treatment.

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?

Number of HPV Positive Women Examined (time frame: up to approximately 1 year). 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.
