Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, acceptability, and efficacy of Thermocoagulation for treatment of precancerous lesions among HIV-positive women in a screen-and-treat program in Western Kenya.
The objective is to estimate the prevalence of the different genotypes of human papillomaviruses (HPV) in histologically proven high-grade lesions of the cervix in patients born between 1972 and 1993. It is plan to determine if the prevalence of HPV16 and HPV18 is lower in the population born between 1983 and 1993 and potentially exposed to HPV vaccination compared to those born between 1972 and 1982 who were not exposed to vaccination. Thus the investigators should be able to determine whether the introduction of HPV vaccination in France in 2007 has had an impact on the development of high-grade lesions associated with HPV16 and HPV18.
Current British HIV Association (BHIVA) guidelines recommend annual cervical screening (with a cervical smear) for women living with HIV (WLWH). NHS guidelines for women in England will, however, change soon. Women will initially be tested for human papilloma virus (HPV), a virus which causes virtually all cervical cancer. Only those who are infected with HPV will then undergo the smear testing. The BHIVA guidelines, however, taking the view that HIV infection (and its ability to weaken the immune system) increases the risk of persistent HPV infection and of cancer in those who are infected, consider safer for all WLWH to go straight to annual smear testing. Most WLWH in the UK are now receiving treatment which protects their immune system - this suggests that less WLWH could be HPV infected. The identification of a group of WLWH who could benefit from less frequent screening could improve quality of life, and allow the NHS to reduce unnecessary tests and costs. A large study is needed to collect robust evidence that would support changes to standard practice. Before investing huge resources, the investigators need to know if a study would be feasible, conducting a pilot study on 70 WLWH aged 25-64, regularly attending clinics for HIV care. Participants will be asked to complete an entry survey and they will undergo routine cervical smears (baseline and after 1 year). At baseline, after six months, and one year women will take their own vaginal swabs for the detection of HR-HPV. An exit questionnaire will be undertaken at the last visit.
Comparison of the detection of human papillomavirus DNA in paired physician-obtained cervical swabs and self-sampled cervicovaginal swabs and evaluation of HPV prevalence in Czech women screening population.
Prevalence of HPV-associated eye infection and cytokine levels in tears from patients diagnosed with pterygium
A total of 90 Chinese women aged 9-45 years old were divided into three age groups: 27-45 years old, 18-26 years old, and 9-17 years old. The experimental group and the placebo group were randomly assigned in a ratio of 2:1. Sixty patients had a placebo group of 30 patients. All subjects enrolled in the upper arm deltoid muscle were injected with 3 doses of test vaccine or placebo according to the 0, 2, and 6 months immunization program.
This study aims to compare the expression of matrix metalloproteinases and their tissue inhibitors between 4 groups of patients defined according to the severity of the cervical lesion.
Phase II, exploratory, randomized, open, controlled and parallel groups clinical trial to evaluate the effectiveness of exploratory gel Papilocare in the repair of the cervico-vaginal mucosa with lesions caused by HPV. All the patients included in the study will be Randomized (1:1:1).
The purpose of this pragmatic cluster randomized control trial is to test the effectiveness of cervical cancer screening follow-up completion using two implementation approaches for self-collected HPV testing in a rural, low-resource setting: 1) community health workers recruiting women door-to-door and 2) community health workers recruiting women at community health meetings. This study will also help to further understand how current patient referral systems are working between health facilities, patient and provider preferences for integrated care and health system related barriers to integrated cervical cancer screening. Hypothesis: More women will receive screening via the community health meeting but the engagement to care (i.e., visual inspection with acetic acid-our main outcome) will be greater in the door-to-door arm.
This is a Phase 2, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to determine the dose regimen, safety, tolerability, and efficacy of VP-102 in subjects with External Genital Warts (EGW). This study is divided into two parts (Part A and Part B). Increasing durations of skin exposure to study drug (VP-102 or placebo) will be evaluated in three treatment groups prior to progressing to enrollment in Part B. Part A & B will enroll a approximately 108 subjects completing 4 treatment applications every 21 days and continuing with follow-up assessments at Day 84, 112 and 147.
