Study population: The study is part of an international collaboration between the Department of Infectious Medicine at Aarhus University Hospital, the Bandim Health Project in Guinea-Bissau and Belgian researchers. Bandim Health project is a health and demographic surveillance system site that follows a population of more than 200.000 individuals in Guinea-Bissau. That population has created the base for the Guinea-Bissau Nationwide HIV-cohort with more than 35.000 patients. The patients are provided free HIV-treatment and follow-up in the country. There is currently 9 large HIV-clinics in the country, and women presenting at these clinics will be invited to enroll if they meet the inclusion criteria.
Who may be able to join
- HIV-positive (women with HIV-1, HIV-2 AND HIV1/2 are all eligible)
- Age between 18 and 65 years
Who cannot join
- Current pregnancy
- Pregnancy within the last 3 months
- Prior hysterectomy

About this study
Official title: Self-collected Cervical Cancer Screening Samples for Detection of Human Papillomavirus in HIV-positive Women - a Pilot Study of Self-collected Vaginal and Urine Samples
This study assesses topics as Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), Human Papilloma Virus (HPV), and cancer screening methods. The focus will be on evaluating feasibility of implementing novel cancer screening modalities in a low-resource setting in Guinea-Bissau and further to estimate the prevalence of the precancerous virus HPV amongst women living with HIV. In the study the investigators will collect urinary and vaginal self-samples for HPV testing, and further evaluate the feasibility of implementing the devices as screening modalities through questionnaires given to the women.
Read the detailed description
This pilot study will partly take place at the outpatient HIV clinic, based in the Hospital National Simão Mendes (HNSM) in the capital city Bissau, Guinea-Bissau. HNSM is the main hospital in Bissau, and the HIV clinic is the biggest HIV treatment center in Guinea-Bissau in terms of patients on follow-up. The Bissau Nationwide HIV Cohort is a clinical HIV Cohort started in 2007. As of today, the investigators collect data from 9 outpatient HIV clinics in the country, and samples will be collected from all 9 clinics.
Study participants who present at the HIV clinic will be thoroughly instructed in correct usage of the vaginal and urine devices by trained healthcare workers. At the HIV clinics, facilities will be available for the women to conduct self-sampling in privacy, before handing in the samples. At the local laboratory, the dry brush head will be suspended in Thinprep medium and stored until shipment to Denmark. The urine samples will be stored at room temperature for up to 7 days before transferred to a -20º freezer until shipment to Denmark.
Analyses: vaginal and urine samples will be analyzed at Randers Regional Hospital using the Cobas 4800 HPV DNA test. The Department is specialized in self-collected samples from previous studies. This procedure is considered feasible based on data showing that the dry brush is analytically stable for HPV DNA detection for up to 32 weeks at temperatures ranging from 4 ºC to 30 ºC. After HPV analyses, residual material from the self-collected samples will be stored in a biobank in Denmark at Aarhus University hospital and saved for future research.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Self-sampling for HPV infectionDiagnostic test
Also called Collipee, Evalyn Brush
After informed consent has been provided, the woman will be asked to collect firstly a first-void urine sample using the Collipee device and secondly to collect a vaginal self-sample using the dry Evalyn® Brush device. Socioeconomic, demographic and clinical data will be collected in the Bissau HIV Cohort database and through study questionnaires to collect background information on risk factors for HPV persistence and development of cervical cancer (HIV genotype, immune status, parity). Questionnaires will collect additional information on the acceptance of cervical screening measures to better evaluate the feasibility of implementing self-collected screening among HIV infected women in Guinea-Bissau.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| HIV-positive females in Guinea-Bissau | The study is conducted on female HIV-infected patients in the Nationwide HIV-cohort at the 9 biggest HIV-clinics in Guinea-Bissau.
Participants will be invited to enroll in the project when they present to the HIV-clinics for HIV-treatment and consultations. Receives: Diagnostic Test: Self-sampling for HPV infection |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Feasibility of implementing HPV self sampling for cervical cancer screening
Among women meeting the inclusion criteria, the investigators want to estimate the prevalence of how many accepts the offer to collect self-samples, thereby gaining knowledge on the feasibility of implementing self-sampling as a cervical cancer screening method in Guinea-Bissau.
Measured: April 2023 - February 2024
HPV-prevalence among HIV-infected women in Guinea-Bissau
The investigators want to estimate the prevalence of high risk HPV infection among HIV-infected women in the Nationwide HIV-cohort in Guinea-Bissau.
Measured: April 2023 - February 2024
Secondary outcomes (2)
Experiences with self-collected vaginal and urine samples
Among the women accepting the invitation to enroll in the study, the investigators will through a questionnaire obtain data on the participants experiences with the two self-sampling devices.
Measured: April 2023 - February 2024
HPV-genotype agreement between vaginal- and urine samples
Among HPV-positive women the investigators want to describe the genotype agreement among the two sample types
Measured: April 2023 - February 2024

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of HIV Infections and HPV-Related Cervical Carcinoma, run by University of Aarhus at 1 site in Guinea-Bissau.
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 6 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 28 Aug 2024. 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 Guinea-Bissau. 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?
Feasibility of implementing HPV self sampling for cervical cancer screening (time frame: April 2023 - February 2024). 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?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05783167, which also lists 13 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?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 Aug 2024.
