Clinical Trial Summary

High-risk precancerous cervical lesions are divided into stage 2 and 3 cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN 2 and 3). CIN 3 represents a direct pre-stage of invasive cancer, has a high rate of progression and a high degree of agreement with the final histological diagnosis. In CIN 2 lesions, the rate of agreement with the final histological diagnosis is lower and the rate of spontaneous regression is higher. Due to the higher rate of regression and possible complications after excisional treatment, conservative active monitoring can be considered in selected young CIN 2 patients. A recent meta-analysis reported a high rate of spontaneous clinical regression of CIN 2, particularly in women under 30 years old. There are currently no prospectively validated prognostic biomarkers to determine which CIN 2 will progress to higher grade and which will regress to lower grade of change. Recent research has studied HPV methylation and microbiome analysis as biomarkers. A number of studies have shown that host cell DNA methylation levels in cervical scrapes increase with underlying cervical disease severity and are highest in cervical cancer. DNA methylation involves the covalent binding of a methyl group to the 5´ position of a cytosine molecule in CpG dinucleotides. Besides global hypomethylation, the overall loss of methylation during carcinogenesis, resulting in chromosomal instability, and the silencing of tumour suppressor genes by local hypermethylation of CpG-rich promoter regions contribute to cancer development. Gene promoter methylation can be easily accessed by sensitive, quantitative methylation-specific PCR providing an objective test outcome. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of the methylation rate of two suppressor genes- FAM19A4 and hsa-mir-124 on the rate of CIN 2 regression, persistence or progression in women younger than 36 years (≤35 years old).

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
