Active clinical trials for "Uterine Cervical Dysplasia"

The purpose of this study is to determine the optimal dose of GX-188E for the Phase 3 and access the efficacy and safety of GX-188E according the protocol in patients with Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia 3 (CIN3).

Introduction Cervical cancer (CC) is a major public health problem in Low-income countries (LICs), particularly in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), where the estimated number of cases is 3839 per year. (WHO, 2010). Persistent infection with Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is recognized as the necessary cause for the development of CC. Thus, CC is a disease that is easily preventable primarily by vaccination against HPV and secondarily through screening and treatment of precancerous lesions of the cervix. In LICs, the high incidence of CC is due to both high rates of infection with HPV, a failure to initiate and sustain effective screening programs based on cytology and the non-availability of vaccination against HPV. These situations highlight the need to implement simple and inexpensive screening and treatment methods suitable for LICs. These methods include screening by visual inspection of the cervix after application of acetic acid (VIA) and treatment with a topical antiviral drug (AV2). Aims This study aims to: Evaluate the clinical efficacy of AV2 as a treatment for HPV-associated lesions of the uterine cervix; Identify HPV genotypes found in Kinshasa; Determine the cost-effectiveness of an algorithm combining screening by VIA and AV2 and that combining VIA and cryotherapy treatment; Methods After basic training of local health workers on VIA, on collection of cervical samples for HPV testing (quantitative Polymerase Chain reaction, qPCR) and liquid-based cytology (LBC) and on application of AV2, a screening and treatment program will be offered to women aged 25 and older who will give their informed consent. All women with lesions on VIA will be randomized into one of two groups to receive either treatment by AV2 or placebo. All women with lesions on VIA will be monitored and reviewed after two months and after six months for repeat tests (VIA and LBC for lesions, qPCR for viral load, conversion and reinfection rates).

This phase I research protocol is designed to assess immunogenicity and clinical endpoints in patients with human papillomavirus (HPV) 16 cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN)2/3. The protocol tests the use of artesunate in suppository formulation applied intravaginally in patients with cervical dysplasia (CIN2/3). The primary endpoint is to determine and evaluate the safety, tolerability, and feasibility of intravaginal administration of artesunate in health women with CIN2/3.

This is a pilot cohort study of women undergoing focal ablation for high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (HGCIN). The cohort was recruited from the UCSF Dysplasia Clinics. The standard treatment involves treatment of the entire cervix. Women with HGCIN meeting inclusion criteria were recruited for enrollment into the pilot study of focal treatment. Upon enrollment, they underwent focal ablational treatment rather than standard ablational treatment of the cervix. Follow-up visits were conducted at 2 weeks and 6 months to assess safety, feasibility, and acceptability. The 6-month recurrence rate of HGCIN will be calculated.

HPV-301 is a prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled Phase 3 study to determine the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of VGX-3100 administered by intramuscular (IM) injection followed by electroporation (EP) delivered with CELLECTRA™ 5PSP in adult women with histologically confirmed cervical high grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) (cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2 [CIN2] or grade 3 [CIN3]) associated with human papillomavirus (HPV) 16 and/or HPV-18.

An effective and safe medical therapy would be most welcome to reduce the need for surgical interventions and related adverse events and psychological impact on patients with cervical cancer precursors. In this clinical trial, the investigators propose to evaluate the efficacy and safety of photodynamic therapy (PDT) using hexaminolevulinate (HAL) for mild to moderate-grade CIN (grade 1-2).

The main objective of this study is to determine the maximum tolerable dose and safety of intravaginal curcumin in a normal population of women (women with no evidence of cervical cytological abnormalities by pap testing).

To determine if the use of oral Diindolylmethante (DIM), a marketed cruciferous vegetable based dietary supplement (Bioresponse-DIM), is associated with the regression of cervical dysplasia in otherwise healthy women.

The primary objective of this study is to determine pilot safety and efficacy data for a topical formulation of EM-1421 applied to the cervix of patients with CIN 1, 2, or 3.

Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of photodynamic therapy with lutetium texaphyrin in treating patients who have cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. Photodynamic therapy uses light and drugs such as lutetium texaphyrin that make abnormal cells more sensitive to light and may kill abnormal cells in the cervix and prevent the development of cervical cancer
