About this study

Official title: Randomized Trial of Immediate Treatment vs. Colposcopic Follow-up for Biopsy-Proven CIN 1

This study looks at immediate treatment of a cervix with CIN 1 versus regular six-month follow-up with colposcopy and treatment if CIN 1 progresses.

Read the detailed description

In women who present with biopsy-proven CIN 1, to compare the management approach of regular colposcopic follow-up and only treating progressive disease using the LEEP, with an approach of immediate treatment using LEEP. The primary outcome is progression to more advanced disease (i.e., CIN 2, CIN 3 or cancer).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) in people with Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia, run by Ontario Clinical Oncology Group (OCOG) at 10 sites in 2 countries.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 19 exclusion criteria. 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 29 Jan 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 10 sites in Canada, Brazil. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

progression to more advanced disease (time frame: 18 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

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 29 Jan 2009; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
