About this study

The aims of this study are:

  1. Surveillance of the prevalence of HPV infection in ASCUS, AGCUS and SIL cases pooled from medical centers in Taiwan and analysis of the related epidemiological factors.
  2. Providing a better understanding of the natural history of HPV infection with its correlation with pathologic changes through a longitudinal follow-up of LSIL cases.
Read the detailed description

Carcinoma of the uterine cervix is by far the most prevalent cancer of women in Taiwan and worldwide. In 1994, it ranked the top of female cancer incidence with 3000 new cases annually and claimed nearly 1000 lives. The major cause of this malignant disease is now pointed to the infection of oncogenic types of human papillomavirus (HPV). HPV infection is sexually transmitted, affects the immature metaplastic cells of uterine cervix and, in an unknown proportion, results in squamous intraepithelial lesion (SIL) of differing severity. The natural history of HPV infection is by far elusive. It is not clear how the virus get into the cell, how the immune system respond to it, and how the epithelial cell get transformed. An average estimation holds that about 60% of low grade SIL will regress, 30% will persist, 10% will progress to high grade lesions and less than 1% become invasive lesions.

The aims of this study are:

  1. Surveillance of the prevalence of HPV infection in ASCUS, AGCUS and SIL cases pooled from medical centers in Taiwan and analysis of the related epidemiological factors.
  2. Providing a better understanding of the natural history of HPV infection with its correlation with pathologic changes through a longitudinal follow-up of LSIL cases.

Through a consensus of management of patients with abnormal Pap smear in TGOG, a standard protocol of specimen collection, clinical follow-up has been established. Patients with a Pap smear of ASCUS, AGCUS or SIL will be arranged with a repeat Pap smear and a colposcopy with or without biopsy. A cervical swab will be taken and sent to the core laboratory for HPV DNA detection and genotyping. Pap smear and biopsies were then panel-reviewed by Pathologists. Cytology-or pathology-proved LSIL cases will be followed every three months with Pap smear, colposcopy and HPV test until disease progression or two consecutive negative results of all the three data. One thousand cases fulfilling "aim 1" will be analyzed during the first year, and the nature course of about 300 LSIL cases will be followed at the end of the third year.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cervical Cancer and Low-grade Squamous Intraepithelial Lesion,, run by National Health Research Institutes, Taiwan at 4 sites in Taiwan.

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 2 inclusion and 1 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 25 Mar 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in Taiwan. 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The primary endpoint is the disease-free survival. (time frame: 5). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00201370, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 25 Mar 2016.
