Predicting Treatment Failure in HSIL Patients with Positive Margins After Conization Via Detection of PAX1 Methylation

December 3, 2024 updated by: Weiguo Lv, Women's Hospital School Of Medicine Zhejiang University

Multicenter Study on PAX1 Methylation for Predicting Lesion Persistence/Recurrence in HSIL Patients with Positive Margins After Cervical Conization

The goal of this multicenter, observational study is to evaluate whether methylation testing of paired box gene 1 (PAX1) can better predict and diagnose recurrence or persistent disease in patients with positive margins after cervical conization for high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL). The main question it aims to answer is:

Can PAX1 gene methylation testing provide a more accurate and effective prediction and diagnosis of cervical disease recurrence/persistence in addition to existing methods? Participants will be managed according to the latest clinical guidelines, and during follow-up, a non-invasive test, PAX1 gene methylation testing, will be added.

Detailed Description

This study is a multicenter, prospective observational study that qualitatively assesses the methylation status of the PAX1 gene in cervical exfoliated cells from patients with HSIL and positive margins after conization. The aim is to evaluate the ability of PAX1 gene methylation testing to predict treatment failure (lesion recurrence or persistence). The first follow-up occurs 6 months post-surgery, including high-risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV) testing and cytology, with referral for colposcopy, including biopsy and/or endocervical curettage (ECC), if necessary. Subsequent management and follow-up are based on examination results, following clinical guidelines, and arranged at intervals of 6-12 months depending on the findings. The follow-up includes routine clinical examinations widely applied in practice, and PAX1 testing will be completed at each follow-up visit. PAX1 testing, like hrHPV testing and cytology, will be performed using cervical exfoliated cells.

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

  • Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Primary Completion (Estimated)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
