Telehealth & HPV Self-Collection

August 14, 2023 updated by: Amanda Bruegl, MD, OHSU Knight Cancer Institute

Cervical Cancer Screening: Evaluation of Telehealth to Enhance HPV Self-Collection

This study aims to compare the efficacy and participant experience of telehealth-based, self-collected cervical cancer screening to mail-based, self-collected cervical cancer screening across the adult female screening lifespan. This will be done by evaluating sufficient Human papillomavirus (HPV) sample collection and determining preference for self-collection verses provider collection, comparing role of telehealth in pre- and post- menopausal women's comfort with self-collection, comparing self-collection completion rates for women with and without telehealth visits.

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

This will be a prospective, randomized study of women ages 25 and older, stratified by menopausal status (defined as 12 months or greater without menses or time at which both ovaries have been surgically removed), who are eligible for cervical cancer screening.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Interventional

Enrollment (Actual)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.
131

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

25 years to 85 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Individuals with a cervix who are eligible for primary HPV testing (age 25 and older) according to national cervical cancer screening guidelines.
  • Pregnant women are eligible for participation in this study as the collection process poses no threat to the woman or her fetus.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Individuals without a cervix
  • Have had prior pelvic radiation therapy or brachytherapy
  • Active or former diagnosis of ovarian, uterine, or cervical cancer unless determined eligible by PI upon further review of history and treatment
  • Individuals less than age 25 or no longer eligible/recommended to undergo cervical cancer screening
  • Adults who are unable to consent or are decisionally impaired
  • Individuals who are not English speaking

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.
Active Comparator: Receive routine instructions
Participants will receive routine instructions included in the myLAB Box Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) certified collection kit
Other: Receive routine instructions
Study subjects randomized to this arm will receive a mailed myLab Box kit with instructions on HPV self-collection and postage to be shipped directly to the commercial lab. It should take less than 5 minutes to collect the sample.
Active Comparator: Telehealth Visit
Participants will have a telehealth-based instructional visit and receive routine instructions included in the myLAB Box commercially available, CLIA certified collection kit
Other: Telehealth-based instructional visit and receive routine instructions
Study subjects randomized to this arm will similarly receive a mailed myLab Box kit and also undergo a brief 5-10" telehealth instructional visit via video conference.

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
Proportion of participants preferring self-collection to provider collection
Time Frame: Post-intervention: 2 weeks after receipt of test results
In follow-up survey, participants will indicate how the would prefer to have their next cervical cancer screening performed: by their healthcare provider or by self-testing.
Post-intervention: 2 weeks after receipt of test results

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
Median perceived difficulty understanding self-collection instructions
Time Frame: Post-intervention: 2 weeks after receipt of test results
In follow-up survey, participants will indicate how difficult the self-collection instructions were to understand, on a 10-point Likert scale.
Post-intervention: 2 weeks after receipt of test results
Median discomfort level with self-collection
Time Frame: Post-intervention: 2 weeks after receipt of test results
In follow-up survey, participants will indicate how much discomfort their experienced during self-collection, on a 10-point Likert scale.
Post-intervention: 2 weeks after receipt of test results
