The Development of a "Mother/Child, Screen, Treat and Vaccinate Program" in Manchay and Iquitos, Peru (PERCAPS)

This project will use a community based participatory research orientation to develop a model for large scale "campaign" preventive healthcare interventions. The investigators have considerable expertise with cervical cancer screening and HPV vaccination. The investigators also have well tested methodologies for cervical cancer screening that are highly effective, including self-sampling for HPV and improved specimen transport systems. Therefore, the investigators will use these medical interventions as the model preventive health interventions for this project.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Our research group has recently demonstrated that a self-collected cervico-vaginal sample tested with a very high throughput HR-HPV assay is as sensitive has a direct endocervical physician collected sample. Teamed with a non-liquid transport media the investigators believe the technology is solved to reach large populations in a short period of time. With the majority of the world's medically underserved now living in middle income countries it is not necessary to think simple and small to reach the Earth's needy. The investigators can think high tech and high throughput. The massive volumes possible, with proper organization, will control the per/patient cost. The investigators will think "events", not continuous care. Clearly continuous care is the only way to adequately provide the needed care for many problems. However, many interventions can be confined to events which organize large screening or vaccination days and only when positives are identified from the detection algorithm does the healthcare staff become involved for management. The investigators spend an enormous amount of resources identifying the majority of people who will ultimately test negative. The more local the paradigms and the more involved the community in designing the program, the greater will be the participation and the lost to follow-up segment will shrink. This mother, child, screen, treat and vaccinate program will use cervical cancer prevention as the target preventive healthcare intervention. Using community based research orientation the project will begin with a 3 day education program and collaborative meeting with the women leaders of the communities (promotoras). Collectively the investigators will develop the model for the community to advertise, educate, recruit, register, self-collect the specimens, deliver the samples, and report the results. In addition the logistics of the 3 vaccination schedule for the female children will be organized. The medical staff will be involved only with the management of the positives and the vaccine administration. The observational measures will focus on assessing how effectively each of the steps was accomplished.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Evaluation of key study processes used in the process of implementing a mother/child screen, treat and vaccinate program in Iquitos, Peru.
Time Frame: Interview with participants will occur at approximately one month after 2nd vaccination
The investigators will evaluate community participation, lost to follow up and potential sustainability. One on one interviews with participants will be conducted by trained medical staff. Additional measures to success will be gathered from interviews with promotoras, participating health services staff and recoeded observation. These analyses are descriptive in nature.
