Study Overview

Status

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

The cervical screening program in the Czech Republic is based on cytology with HPV triage. Nevertheless, cytology-based cervical screening may switch to HPV-based cervical screening in future. The implementation of primary HPV screening and insuficiency cervical screening attendance are a major challenge. The offering of self-sampling to the cervical screening non-attenders could increase women's participation as was shown in several European countries. The objective of the HPVPro study was to find out the HPV prevalence in the screening population of Czech women since there are no data for the Czech Republic. The second objective was to compare HPV DNA detection rate in paired self-sampled cervicovaginal swabs and physician-obtained cervical swabs and to determine acceptability of self-sampling HPV DNA test by Czech women. This information is important for optimisation of cervical cancer screening program in the Czech Republic.

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

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
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.
Experimental: Self-sampling device in media
Women will undergo clinician-obtained cervical swab and self-sampled cervicovaginal swab using self-sampling device in STM media. HPV will be detected by hybridization technique.
Diagnostic test: Self-sampling using digene HC2 DNA Collection Device
All women will undergo a clinician-collected cervical swab and self-collected cervicovaginal swab.
Experimental: Dry self-sampling device
Women will undergo clinician-obtained cervical swab and self-sampled cervicovaginal swab using dry self-sampling device. HPV will be detected by hybridization and PCR techniques.
Diagnostic test: Self-sampling using Evalyn Brush
All women will undergo a clinician-collected cervical swab and self-collected cervicovaginal swab.

What is the study measuring?

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
HPV prevalence
Time Frame: 18 months
Evaluation of the prevalence of high-risk human papillomavirus infection in screening population of Czech women.
18 months
Concordance of HPV positivity in self-collected cervicovaginal swabs and clinician-collected cervical swabs
Time Frame: 18 months
Paired cervical and cervicovaginal swabs will be collected in the same day and will be tested by the same method. Concordance of HPV positivity in both swabs will be evaluated.
18 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Comparison of different human papillomavirus DNA detection methods in cervical and cervicovaginal swabs.
Time Frame: 18 months
Hybridization and PCR-based HPV detection methods will be tested in both cervical and cervicovaginal swabs and results of these two methods will be compared.
18 months
