Active clinical trials for "Uterine Cervical Dysplasia"

Based on the high incidence of cervical cancer and high grade dysplasia and increased progression and incomplete treatment of CIN2 and 3 in South Africa, we propose to study the effect of cryotherapy among HIV-positive women diagnosed with CIN 1 versus regular 12 month cytology follow-up. This study will be a dual-arm, open-label, randomized clinical trial for HIV-infected women diagnosed with CIN 1 and receiving care at the Themba Lethu Clinic, Helen Joseph Hospital, Johannesburg, South Africa. CIN 1 will be identified from patients who have had a colposcopic biopsy for persistent LSIL as per standard of care.

To establish therapeutic dendritic cell (DC) vaccines targeting HPV 16/18 E6/E7 protein to block the progression of CIN1/CIN2 to cervical cancer and evaluate the safety and efficacy of the vaccines.

Purpose: There are limited data on the success of conservative treatment of high-grade cervical squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL) with imiquimod directly compared to standard of treatment with LLETZ. LLETZ as standard treatment is possibly associated with premature labour, higher subfertility rate and a higher rate of spontaneous abortion. Since premature delivery is one of the most important causes of perinatal morbidity and mortality, alternative conservative methods for SIL treatment are constantly being evaluated. The immunomodulator imiquimod is one of the main target compounds for treating HSIL. Primary objective: to establish the efficacy of treatment with imiquimod (experimental arm) and compare it to the standard treatment with LLETZ (control arm). Secondary objective: incidence and severity of the side effects in both groups; need for treatment with LLETZ two years after primary treatment with imiquimod in the experimental arm or re-treatment with LLETZ two years after primary treatment with LLETZ in the control arm; modulatory effect of imiquimod on immunoregulatory molecules. Study design: Single-centre randomized controlled intervention trial. Study population: 104 women with HSIL (52 in each arm). Intervention: - randomization in two arms: Experimental arm (imiquimod): treatment for 16 weeks with 5% imiquimod. Control arm (LLETZ). Successful treatment in the experimental arm is defined as absence of histological HSIL in diagnostic biopsies at 20-week follow-up (4 weeks after treatment completion) and in the control arm successful treatment is defined as absence of cytological HSIL in cytology 6 months after LLETZ (same as in our national guidelines).

In this study two questions will be answered: can mindfulness meditation help cell-changed on the cervix to disappear? can mindfulness meditation lower the psychological distress when women have abnormal cervical cancer screening results?

This is a study to investigate the safety and efficacy of GX-188E administered IM plus local administration of GX-I7 or Imiquimod at cervix in subjects with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) 3.

This study evaluates the efficacy and safety of the experimental drug, BLS-ILB-E710c, in patients with Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia 2/3 (CIN2/3). 2/3 of participants will receive the experimental drug, while 1/3 of participants will receive placebo.

RATIONALE: Chemoprevention therapy is the use of certain drugs to try to prevent the development of or treat early cancer. SGN-00101 may be effective in preventing the development of cervical cancer in patients with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying how well SGN-00101 works in preventing cervical cancer in patients with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and human papillomavirus.

This multi-center, open-label, non-randomized controlled intervention study aims to investigate the treatment efficacy, side-effects and quality of life associated with imiquimod treatment of high-grade CIN lesions, as an alternative to surgical treatment by Large Loop Excision of the Transformation Zone (LLETZ). Non-surgical treatment may prevent side-effects associated with surgical treatment, such as premature birth in subsequent pregnancies. The study hypothesis is that approximately 75% of patients with high-grade CIN will be adequately treated with imiquimod. 120 women with a histological diagnosis of CIN2 or CIN3 will be included and allocated to one of two treatment arms according to their preference: Imiquimod treatment arm(60 patients). Patients in this group are treated with vaginal imiquimod 5% cream during 16 weeks. Standard treatment arm (60 patients). Patients in this group will undergo LLETZ treatment.

Phase I, Open-Label Study of the Safety, Tolerability, and Immunogenicity of a Three Dose Regimen of Escalating Doses of PEK Fusion Protein Vaccine in Women with LSIL or HSIL. PEK fusion protein vaccine (PEK + GPI-0100) is safe and well tolerated in patients with low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (LSIL) or high grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL) of the cervix and induces a measurable immune response.

The purpose of this study is to develop a low coherence interferometry (LCI) endoscopic probe that can examine the cervix for evidence of cervical dysplasia. The device will make optical measurements of the cervix to determine: the difference between two different types of cervical cells: ectocervical cells and endocervical cells. Cervical dysplasia is most likely to occur at the junction between these two types of cells. features of individual cervical cells that indicate whether the cell is normal or abnormal (cervical dysplasia).
