Methylation Analyses for Gynaecological Research Through Home-based Self-sampling (MARGOT)
The goal of the MARGOT study is to collect self-samples, such as first-void urine and vaginal samples, from people without cancer and compare them with samples from people with gynecological (pre-)cancers collected in other studies, to better understand the differences in biological markers present in these samples between these two groups.

Detaljert beskrivelse
To ensure the validity and interpretability of research findings, it is essential to compare study outcomes against an appropriate reference population. This study will collect first-void urine and vaginal self-samples from people without cancer (cancer-free controls), which will serve as a comparator for individuals diagnosed with a gynecological (pre-)cancer. These cancer-free controls are recruited via different ways (e.g., social media, volunteer databases, posters/flyers in healthcare institutions). Participants have the option to collect their samples at home or on site at the study center. A questionnaire will provide more information about the presence of risk factors and participants' experiences with the self-sampling methods.

Eksperimentell: Participants Providing Self-Samples for Biomarker Analysis
Participants will collect one first-void urine sample and one vaginal self-sample at home or at the study center. |
Participants will collect a first-void urine (the initial part of the urine stream) sample with the 20 mL Colli-Pee device prefilled with urine conservation medium (UCM, DNA Genotek, Canada). This sample can be taken at home or on site. Participants will collect a vaginal self-sample with the Evalyn Brush (Rovers Medical Devices, The Netherlands) at home or on site. |

Comparison of (epi)genetic biomarkers between controls and cases
Tidsramme: 48 months
|
The data collected within this study (controls) will be compared to the data from the gynecological (pre-)cancer patients (cases) that are collected during a concurrent study: COMBISCREEN (B3002023000030) and MYSSELF study (B3002025000175). The primary objective of the presented MARGOT study is to facilitate the identification of (epi)genetic biomarkers for the detection of gynecological (pre-)cancers. This will be achieved through the recruitment of sufficient healthy volunteers for a robust comparison of control and (pre-)cancer samples. This evaluation will be conducted using first-void urine and vaginal self-samples that are analysed with (methylation-) detection techniques. |
