Clinical Trial Summary

This study aims to test the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of two different strategies of home-delivered HPV self-sampling, in comparison to the standard of care strategy, to increase adherence to cervical cancer screening.

An experimental and population-based study will be implemented at three primary healthcare centers located in the Western Porto region: Cedofeita, Garcia de Orta, and Prelada. Eligible women will be randomized into a control group or an intervention group. The control group will correspond to the standard of care (invitation to screening in a clinical setting). The intervention group will be randomized into two subgroups: 1) a "directly mailed" group that will receive a self-sampling kit at their home addresses by post; 2) an "opt-in" group that will receive an invitation at home asking if they want to receive a self-sampling kit, with a pre-paid envelope to return the answer to this question. Women who answer "yes" will receive the self-sampling kit at their home addresses by post.

Self-sampling samples will be subjected to HPV genotyping. In parallel, high-risk HPV positive women will be called in by their family doctors to undergo screening in a clinical setting so that they can continue their clinical follow-up in the conventional pathway.

Description:

The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to test the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of two different strategies of home-delivered HPV self-sampling to increase the adherence to cervical cancer screening in women who are overdue for cervical cancer screening, in comparison to the standard of care strategy.

The main questions this study aims to answer are:

• To test the effectiveness of an invitation strategy to improve the adherence to cervical cancer screening based on directly home-delivered HPV self-sampling tests + automated reminders, in comparison to the standard of care invitation.

• To test the effectiveness of an invitation strategy to improve the adherence to cervical cancer screening based on home-delivered HPV self-sampling tests using opt-in procedures for ordering the kit + automated reminders, in comparison to the standard of care invitation.

• To compare the cost-effectiveness between a) standard of care; b) directly home-delivered HPV self-sampling tests + automated reminders; and c) home-delivered HPV self-sampling tests using opt-in procedures for ordering the kit + automated reminders.

Eligible women will be randomized (1:1) into a control group and an intervention group:

• Control group: corresponds to the standard of care, which is an invitation to cervical cancer screening in a clinical setting, through a written letter, printed and sent by the primary healthcare unit where the women are registered.

• Intervention group: Women allocated to this group will be randomized (1:1) into two subgroups, described briefly as follows:

• Intervention 1 (half of the intervention group): HPV self-sampling test mailed directly to the women's home address (directly mailed group), complemented with a SMS reminder. If a woman returns the sample, HPV-type genotyping will be performed. If High-Risk HPV (HR-HPV) is detected, women will be informed of the result and invited to take cervical cancer screening in a clinical setting by their family doctors. Subsequent follow-up will take place according to Portuguese guidelines.

• Intervention 2 (half of the intervention group): An invitation is mailed to the women´s home address, offering a self-sampling kit, to be ordered by returning a prepaid envelope with the answer "yes" (opt-in group). In the event of a positive response, an HPV self-sampling test is mailed to the women's home, complemented with a SMS reminder. If a woman returns the sample, HPV genotyping will be performed. If HR-HPV is detected, women will be informed of the result and invited to take cervical cancer screening in a clinical setting, performed by their family doctors. Subsequent follow-up will take place according to Portuguese guidelines.

In Interventions 1 and 2, when HR-HPV is detected in the self-sampling test, this sample will be subjected to HPV-DNA methylation testing. If increased HPV DNA methylation is detected and the woman has yet not attended the conventional screening invitation by her family doctor, she will be informed by her family doctor that a new test has indicated an increased risk for cervical cancer and the need to attend a medical appointment will be reinforced.

Intervention

Device:
• Directly mailed self-sampling kit to collect a vaginal sample
The HPV self-sampling test will be sent by post directly to the woman's address. If the woman does not return the sample within 20 days, she will be sent a SMS reminder. The returned samples will be analysed. If high-risk HPV is present, women will be invited to be screened for cervical cancer in a clinical setting by their family doctors. Self-samples in which high-risk HPV is present will also be subjected to HPV DNA methylation test. If an abnormal HPV DNA methylation is detected and the woman has not attended the screening in a clinical setting yet, she will be informed by her family doctor that a new test has indicated the need to attend a medical appointment.
• Mailed self-sampling kit to collect a vaginal sample after opt-in prodecure
Women will initially receive an invitation letter in their home addresses to receive the self-sampling kit, as well as a pre-paid envelope to return the answer to this invitation. If the woman does not return the answer within 10 days, she will be sent a SMS reminder. Only those who respond affirmatively to the question will receive the self-sampling kit. The steps that follow will be the same as in intervention 1.

Diagnostic Test:
• Standard of care - screening in a clinical setting
Corresponds to the standard of care. An invitation to attend the conventional cervical cancer screening (clinician-collected cervical sample for HPV test and reflex cytology) will be sent by post to the woman's address.
