Filter by:Compass is a randomised controlled trial of primary HPV testing for cervical cancer screening in Australia. A pilot study involving 5,000 women was carried out in 2013-2014. The trial will involve recruiting 76,300 women from primary health clinics. Women aged 25-69, attending for cervical screening or for routine follow-up will be invited to participate in the 2-arm trial. A liquid-based cytology (LBC) sample will be taken from consenting women and sent to VCS Pathology. Women will be randomised in a 1:2 parallel group allocation to LBC and HPV arms using randomisation with the minimisation procedure, with stratification by birth cohort according to whether offered HPV vaccination in Australia's national publicly-funded HPV vaccination program (date of birth >=July 1st 1980 and <1st July 1980). In the LBC (active control) arm, women will undergo 2.5 yearly image read cytology screening with reflex HPV triage testing for low grade cytology. In the HPV (intervention) arm women will undergo 5 yearly HPV screening with partial genotyping enabling separate identification of HPV16 and HPV18 and referral of this group for diagnostic evaluation, and secondary randomisation of "intermediate risk" women testing positive for oncogenic HPV (but not HPV 16 or 18) to either image read LBC screening or dual-stained (DS) cytology testing with p16/Ki67. The laboratory reports issued to practitioners will specify the recommended management for women, according to study arm and test results.Participating women will be flagged and clinical outcomes will be tracked via the Compass Register. Data linkage between the Compass Register and HPV vaccination records held on the Australian Immunisation Register will be performed in order to integrate vaccination and screening histories for trial participants. Participants will be actively followed for an anticipated 5 years from the time of recruitment and the primary outcome is based on the total cumulative detection of CIN3+ after exit testing at 5 years. The anticipated study completion date of March 2027 takes into consideration the final migration of participants to the National Cancer Screening Register and allows for two years to follow-up any intermediate risk results occurring in the last of the recruited trial participants.
Based on the high incidence of cervical cancer and high grade dysplasia and increased progression and incomplete treatment of CIN2 and 3 in South Africa, we propose to study the effect of cryotherapy among HIV-positive women diagnosed with CIN 1 versus regular 12 month cytology follow-up. This study will be a dual-arm, open-label, randomized clinical trial for HIV-infected women diagnosed with CIN 1 and receiving care at the Themba Lethu Clinic, Helen Joseph Hospital, Johannesburg, South Africa. CIN 1 will be identified from patients who have had a colposcopic biopsy for persistent LSIL as per standard of care.
This trial studies the prevalence of anal dysplasia and anal cancer in patients with cervical, vaginal, and vulvar dysplasia and cancer. Studying samples collected from patients in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about the human papillomavirus and how often anal cancer occurs in patients with cervix, vagina, or vulvar cancer.
This feasibility study will compare two smoking cessation methods, traditional nicotine replacement therapy and Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems (electronic cigarettes) in patients with gynecological conditions.
The purpose of this study is to determine the possibility and compliance of performing anal Pap smear and Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) DNA testing on women with high grade lower genital tract dysplasia or cervical cancer and determining the prevalence of anal dysplasia in this population using a high-resolution anoscopy (HRA). In addition, it is being done to potentially develop screening, diagnostic and treatment protocol for anal dysplasia in women with high-grade lower genital tract dysplasia or cervical cancer.
Cervical cancer occurs commonly in HIV-infected women in South Africa. These women have poor response to treatment of cervical cancer precursors. This study will test whether giving the quadrivalent vaccine to women prior to surgical treatment of the cervical cancer precursor will improve outcomes. We hypothesize that pre-treatment HPV vaccine will result in a reduced occurrence or cervical cancer precursors in follow-up.
Preliminary data showed that Nelfinavir has selective apoptotic effects on HPV+ cervical tumor cell lines. Furthermore, in a Phase I clinical trial, the combination of NFV and chemoradiotherapy showed acceptable toxicity and promising activity in patients with pancreatic cancer. Therefore, for the proposed research, the principal investigator will use a single-arm Phase II intervention trial study design with focus on the efficacy of NFV to induce complete or partial remission of CIN 2/3 or CIN 3 as well as biomarker evaluation.
A randomised controlled trial comparing hysterectomy by minimally invasive surgical methods; robotic hysterectomy versus vaginal hysterectomy or traditional laparoscopic hysterectomy; outcome and cost analyses.
Purpose: To assess equivalence between low cost manual liquid based cytology (pap smear) and standard Thin prep cytology screening. Participants: 100-120 healthy women presenting for standard pap smear screening Procedures (methods): After routine care pap smear, another pap smear will be performed and placed in the study medium. Clinical care pap and study pap will be reviewed by a single pathologist to assess for equivalent findings. Hypothesis: Manual liquid based cytology is equivalent to conventional liquid based cytology.
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a technology using harmless near infra-red light scatter to produce an image. Prior studies with OCT have demonstrated that OCT of the uterine cervix can differentiate between grades of pre-invasive and invasive cervical disease and cancer. This study will evaluate the ability of the NIRIS 1300e imaging (OCT) system to detect pre-invasive cervical disease and cervical cancer.
