About this study

Official title: Retinoids and Intermediate Biomarkers for CIN II and III: Pilot Trial

RATIONALE: Tretinoin may help cervical neoplasia cells develop into normal cervical cells. It is not yet known whether tretinoin is more effective than a placebo in preventing cervical cancer in patients with cervical neoplasia.

PURPOSE: Randomized clinical trial to study the effectiveness of tretinoin in preventing cervical neoplasia from developing into cervical cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES: I. Determine whether topical tretinoin reduces the number of viral genome copies of human papilloma virus (HPV) per cell and inhibits HPV E6/E7 gene expression in patients with cervical dysplasia. II. Determine the dose of tretinoin for use in a definitive trial that produces the best overall modulation of these biomarkers.

OUTLINE: This is a randomized, multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to cervical intraepithelial neoplasia classification (II vs III). Patients are randomized to 1 of 4 arms. Arm I: Patients receive low-dose tretinoin topically via cervical cap and polyurethane ether foam sponge changed daily for 4 days. Arm II: Patients receive intermediate-dose tretinoin as in arm I. Arm III: Patients receive high-dose tretinoin as in arm I. Arm IV: Patients receive placebo topically as in arm I therapy. Patients are followed for 6 months.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 180 patients (45 per arm) will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing tretinoin in people with Cervical Cancer and Precancerous/Nonmalignant Condition, run by University of Michigan Rogel Cancer Center at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Sep 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 22 Sep 2010.
