Precancerous Cervical Lesion Clinical Trial
Official title:
Clinical Validation of ASTN1, DLX1, ITGA4, RXFP3, SOX17, ZNF671 Methylation in HPV Positive Women: a Multi-center RCT From China
The pathological results were used as the gold standard in this study and the investigators analyze the diagnostic value of six gene methylation status (ASTN1 DLX1, ITGA4, RXFP3, SOX17, ZNF671) in triaging high-risk human papillomavirus infection. The sensitivity and specificity of methylation test and cytology in the diagnosis of high-grade cervical lesions are compared in order to providing new methods and basis in improving the accuracy of cervical cancer screening.
The study is divided into two phases, a baseline (cross-sectional) phase and a 1-year follow-up phase. Women who meet the clinical endpoint (i.e. histopathologically confirmed ≥CIN2 after baseline colposcopy/biopsy) are withdrawn from the study. Participants who do not meet the primary endpoint/treat at baseline will invited to participate in the follow-up phase of the trial. Participants included in the follow-up phase are underwent HPV, cytology, and methylation tests at 6 months and 1 year after baseline.Similar to the baseline phase,participants were referred to colposcopy/biopsy if any of the cytology and HPV tests result is positive. ;
