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 65 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

Group 1: Inclusion Criteria - General Population Group

  1. Subject is 25 to 65 years of age and willing to provide informed consent.
  2. Subject with intact cervix.

Group 2: Inclusion Criteria - HPV positive Population Group (HPV+ Enriched Group)

  1. Subject is 25 to 65 years of age and willing to provide informed consent.
  2. Subject with intact cervix.
  3. Prior diagnosis of high risk HPV and/or positive cytology and/or presenting for colposcopy.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Subject who reports current menstruation.
  2. Subject is pregnant (based on self-reporting).
  3. Subject has impaired decision-making capacity or unable to provide informed consent.
  4. Subject is participating in another clinical study for an investigational device, drug, or biologic that, in the investigator's opinion, would interfere with the results of this study.
  5. Subject has undergone partial or complete hysterectomy including removal of the cervix.
  6. Subject has applied any chemical compounds to the cervical area within the 24-hours prior to study sample collection, including iodine, spermicide, douche, anti-fungal medications, generally, and specifically: Replens vaginal moisturizer and RepHresh vaginal hygiene products.
  7. Subject on whom any form of cervical tissue alteration or surgery has been performed within the prior year, including: conization, Loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP), laser surgery, or cryosurgery.

Study Plan

This section provides details of the study plan, including how the study is designed and what the study is measuring.

How is the study designed?

Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: Screening
  • Allocation: N/A
  • Interventional Model: Single Group Assignment
  • Masking: None (Open Label)

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: Teal Health Self-Collection Device Group
This group will use the Teal Health Self-Collection Device to evaluate the instructions for use, usability, and satisfaction with the self-collection device. Participants will also undergo a Pap smear performed by a clinician. Self-collected and clinician-collected research samples will undergo HPV testing and cytological analysis using tests that are FDA-approved for use for HPV and Pap cytology.
Device: Teal Health Self-Collection Device Group
Participants will use the Instructions for Use to perform self-collection of cervicovaginal cells using the Teal Health Self-Collection Device, and will fill out a usability survey and a satisfaction and needs survey. A Pap smear will be performed by a clinician before or after self-collection.

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
Primary Safety: SAEs
Time Frame: Acute - immediately after self-collection procedure
Evaluate SAEs to confirm that SAEs from self-collection are equivalent to the rate of SAEs from health care provider-collection
Acute - immediately after self-collection procedure
Primary Effectiveness: Positive Percent Agreement (PPA) and Negative Percent Agreement (NPA)
Time Frame: Up to 30 days
Detection of high risk HPV in self-collected as compared to clinician-collected sample results.
Up to 30 days
Primary Effectiveness: Sample Inadequacy Rate
Time Frame: Up to 30 days
Sample inadequacy rate defined as percent of high risk HPV DNA concentrations below the detection thresholds as determined by the manufacturer.
Up to 30 days

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
Usability Survey
Time Frame: Immediately After Self-collection Procedure
Usability Survey data will be analyzed to determine device design issues (There is no scale - questions are assessed individually)
Immediately After Self-collection Procedure
Satisfaction and Needs Survey
Time Frame: Immediately After Self-collection Procedure
Satisfaction and Needs Survey data will be used to assess subjects' general willingness to use an HPV self-collection device, and concerns about HPV self-collection. (There is no scale - questions are assessed individually)
Immediately After Self-collection Procedure
Rate of sample adequacy for liquid-based cytology analysis
Time Frame: Up to 30 days
Samples will be assessed to determine if there is an adequate number of cells for liquid-based cytology analysis
Up to 30 days
