About this study

Official title: Cultural Acceptability and Feasibility of HPV Cervical Self Collection Aided by the Mobile

Invasive cervical cancer incidence and mortality can be dramatically reduced through early detection and treatment, but many women do not complete screening at recommended intervals. Many low-income women in Virginia remain uninsured and are at significant risk of being medically underserved and failing to complete regular cervical cancer screening. Self-collection of specimens for HPV testing is an innovative approach that may increase access to cervical cancer screening in populations that do not participate in traditional clinic-based screening. Innovative delivery models are needed to reach at-risk populations. This study seeks to explore the acceptability and feasibility of pairing self-collection of HPV samples for DNA testing with mobile mammography in women living in rural Virginia.

Read the detailed description

The proposed study aims to determine whether offering self-collection for HPV testing through the mobile mammography unit is an acceptable and feasible method to increase access to cervical cancer screening for under-screened women in rural Virginia. The procedures will be recruitment of under-screened women in rural Virginia to complete HPV testing using self-collection kits distributed through the mobile mammography unit. Regardless of HPV positivity, all women will be provided with information about cervical cancer screening (locations, cost, etc.), and will be encouraged to complete Pap screening by a clinician.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Acceptability of Self-Collection Paired With Mobile Mammography

    Assess the cultural acceptability of self-collection for HPV testing among under-screened women in Southwest Virginia specifically who were seeking a mammogram at an episodic clinic. The outcome measure of ACCEPTABILITY was measured through: participants who opted in, or uptake of HPV self collection (yes/no); and intention to follow up upon learning of result.

    Measured: 1 month (to allow for time to process samples and communicate results)

  2. Feasibility of Self-Collection for HPV Paired With Mobile Mammography

    Assess the feasibility of self-collection for HPV testing among under-screened women in Southwest Virginia who were seeking a mammogram at an episodic clinic. FEASIBILITY was measured through: participant uptake of HPV self collection (yes/no); observations of clinic flow (i.e. how did this additional screening fit in with existing mammography services); and quality of samples collected (were any collected inaccurately or in a way that was impossible to detect).

    Measured: 1 month (to allow for time to process samples and communicate results)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing HPV self collection in people with Cervical Cancer, run by University of Virginia 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?

The sponsor lists 1 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 4 Nov 2024. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 4 Nov 2024). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Acceptability of Self-Collection Paired With Mobile Mammography (time frame: 1 month (to allow for time to process samples and communicate results)). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT03551028, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 4 Nov 2024.
