Multi-site HPV Screening by High-throughput Sequencing in Patients With Chronic HPV-HR Infection Followed by Gynecology (DEP-HPV)

July 18, 2024 updated by: University Hospital, Toulouse

Feasibility of a Multi-site Screening Strategy in HPV+ Patients at High Risk of Cancer, With Characterization of the HPV Subtypes Involved by High Throughput Sequencing Technique: DEP-HPV

The main risk of developing cervical cancer is the persistence of an High risk human papillomavirus (HPV-HR) infection, the mechanisms of which are still not understood. These chronically infected patients could develop multi-site lesions. The main objective is to assess the feasibility of setting up a personalized screening in patients at high risk of cervical cancer (chronically infected with HPV), by evaluating documenting the acceptability of these patients to be sampled from the ENT sphere and anal spheres for HPV analysis with next-generation sequencing.

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

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

Screening for cervical cancer (CCU) is based on a well-codified, organized national screening program. However, unlike breast cancer or colorectal cancer, there is no personalized screening for patients said identified to be at higher risk of developing UCC. In addition, other cancers linked to HPV (papillomavirus), oropharynx and anal, were excluded from this screening, including for high-risk patients. However, in France, HPV-related cancers in the majority of cases concern the cervix (44%), but the anal (24%) and oropharynx (22%) locations can no longer be neglected. An increase of more than 200% in the incidence of oropharyngeal cancer was reported in the United States between 1988 and 2004. There appears to be a significant association between certain some sexual habits and the risk of multi-site HPV (+) carcinoma. However, several studies suggested that multi-site transmission could involve simple self-inoculation. Therefore, the investigators are interested in a population particularly at risk of developing these viro-induced cancers: patients chronically infected with HPV who will also be those likely to develop multi-site lesions. It is established that high risk HPV are more widely involved in CCU, however, the causes of the persistence of these HPV have not been clearly identified.

It therefore seems essential to continue screening for CCU in chronically infected patients, taking into account the multiple possible locations. The characterization of HPV viruses in terms of types, subtypes and co-infections is one of the key elements, determining the risk of persistence and the risk of cancer. Also, the implementation of a multi-site screening associated with a genotyping by high throughput or new generation sequencing (NGS) would make it possible to understand the part of HPV in the persistence of the infection and to detect the development of lesions at other anatomical sites.

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.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

-Chronic infected patients defined by: Patients with persistent HPV-HR cytological infection (high risk) (as early as 6 months post-treatment of a cervical or vaginal injury), or a recurrence of a high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (CIN2 or CIN3 or HSIL) or a recurrence of cancer in the cervix or vagina

  • Patients who have given their written consent to participate in the study.
  • Person affiliated or beneficiary of a social security scheme.

Exclusion Criteria:

Patient with an infection or a persistent lesion after treatment or not, linked only to low-risk HPV.

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: Patients chronically infected with HPV
The study will be offered to patients with chronic HPV infection as part of an annual consultation scheduled in the gynecology care package.
Procedure: Smear
In addition to the routine gynecological follow-up including a cervico-vaginal smear and an HPV test (HPV-HR genome detection), the doctor will propose prospectively to all consecutive patients who meet the inclusion criteria, during a follow-up consultation (post treatment of cervical dysplasia), to participate in the study, that is to have 2 other anal and ENT samples for an HPV test

What is the study measuring?

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.
