HPV Infection Clinical Trial

Official title:
The Study for the "Cervical Cancer Screening and Treatment Algorithms Study Using HPV Testing in Africa"

Clinical Trial Summary

The main objectives of CESTA are (1) to compare the efficacy of two cervical cancer screening algorithms: HPV test followed by visual inspection with acetic acid (VIA) and treatment (HPV + VIA + treat) and HPV test followed by immediate treatment (HPV + treat). The study will be conducted to address its objectives in women living with HIV (from now on called HIV positive women); and 2) To evaluate the performance of other techniques for primary screening and as triage for HPV positives WLHIV. 1,500 women living with HIV WLHIV will be recruited from HIV care clinics, also called antiretrovirals (ARV) clinics in South Africa. After giving informed consent, women will be screened with HPV testing and those that have a HPV positive test will be randomized at a 4:1 ratio into HPV + VIA + treat (Arm 1) and HPV + treat (Arm 2). Women in Arm 1 will receive VIA and only positive for VIA will be treated. In Arm 2, all HPV positive women will be treated. Women that are eligible for ablative treatment will be randomized into treatment with TA or cryotherapy in both arms. Others will be referred to colposcopy. After VIA in Arm 1 or before treatment in Arm 2, the nurses will collect 2-4 biopsies on all HPV positive women. The biopsies will be used as gold standard for disease detection. Treated women will be called by telephone after 1 week and 1 month to assess side-effects and satisfaction with the procedures. Cervical samples from women will be tested with HPV DNA test and HPV mRNA test to evaluate different screening tests for WLHIV. All women with a positive HPV test (treated or not) will be called back after 1 year for a follow-up visit. At this visit, women will be screened with HPV testing and VIA and 2-4 colposcopy-directed biopsies will be taken from all HPV positive women. Women with remaining/recurrent CIN2+ disease will receive appropriate management.
