About this study

Official title: A Companion Protocol to Evaluate Anogenital Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Infection and Anogenital Squamous Intraepithelial Lesions (ASIL) in Subjects Participating in AMC Clinical Trials

RATIONALE: Diagnostic procedures, such as anal swab collection, digital rectal examination, and anal endoscopy and biopsy, may help find and diagnose anal and genital human papillomavirus infection and squamous intraepithelial lesions and help doctors plan better treatment.

PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying ways to detect anal and genital human papillomavirus infection and squamous intraepithelial lesions in HIV-positive patients enrolled in an AIDS cancer clinical trial.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • To determine if various pharmacotherapeutic agents investigated in primary AIDS Malignancy Clinical Trials (AMC) for diseases other than human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated neoplasia have any preliminary evidence of activity against anogenital HPV infection or anogenital squamous intraepithelial lesions (ASIL) in HIV-positive patients participating in these trials.
  • To describe changes in the types of anal HPV present and the prevalence of ASIL in patients treated on these studies.
  • To evaluate cervical HPV infection and cervical/vulvovaginal disease in HIV-positive women participating in these trials.
  • To describe changes in cervical HPV infection and cervical/vulvovaginal disease in these women after undergoing various study treatments.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients undergo anal swab collection at baseline to obtain samples for anal cytology, anal human papillomavirus (HPV) typing, and other HPV-related testing (e.g., HPV viral load). Digital rectal examinations (DRE) are also performed as part of the baseline physical examination. Female patients also undergo cervical swab collection for cervical HPV testing and cytology, as well as colposcopy (if available) of the cervix and vulvovaginal region to completely assess lower genital tract HPV-related lesions. At sites where high-resolution anoscopy (HRA) is available, patients are encouraged, but not required, to have an HRA with biopsy of any visualized lesions within 30 days of collection of the swabs.

After baseline assessments, patients undergo treatment with the investigative agent according to the study protocol requirements. If study treatment continues beyond 6 months, additional anal and cervical swabs are obtained for anal and cervical HPV and cytology along with DREs every 6 months until completion of study treatment and at the final study visit. Patients may also undergo additional HRA with biopsy and/or colposcopy of the lower genital tract with biopsy (women only) at this time. Patients with an abnormal anal cytology or histology are referred for HRA per local standard of care. If HRA is not available at the treatment site, patients undergo a DRE, and those with an abnormal DRE are referred for evaluation by a surgeon.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Aids-related Malignancies and Lymphoma, run by AIDS Malignancy Consortium at 10 sites 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 10 Aug 2020. 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 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Activity of pharmacotherapeutic agents being investigated in AIDS Malignancy Clinical Trials (AMC) against anogenital human papillomavirus (HPV) infection or anogenital squamous intraepithelial lesions (ASIL) (time frame: Baseline, every 6 months while on parent protocol, treatment discontinuation on parent protocol, final visit on parent protocol). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. 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 10 Aug 2020.
