Active clinical trials for "Uterine Cervical Dysplasia"

The goal of this research study is to compare the efficacy of a treatment approach that comprises both Motivation And Problem-Solving (MAPS)-based telephone counseling and a personally-tailored SMS-delivered text-based approach to quitline-delivered smoking cessation treatment to help participants with a history of cervical cancer or high-grade cervical dysplasia quit smoking.

Human papilloma virus (HPV) is responsible of the most common sexually transmitted infection. It can cause severe cancer lesions, of the cervix, vulva, vagina, penis and oropharynx. The International Agency for Cancer Research of World Health Organization (WHO) classified a dozen of HPV related high-risk cancer types, and recognized cervical cancer as the most common HPV-related disease. HPV 16 and 18 are responsible for 70% of cervical cancers. Due to the few symptoms of cervical cancer, women are often diagnosed with advanced state. Current treatments imply cervical conisation or hysterectomy, with or without lymphadenectomy and or radiotherapy, or chemotherapy. However, few pharmacological options are available against oncogenic papilloma viruses and thus against recurrences The aim of this project is to develop relevant organoids models from patient biopsies that will be used to identify biomarkers and evaluate in a closest preclinical setting novel nucleic acids based therapeutic strategy for HPV-cervical-vaginal dysplasia and cancers.

This early phase I clinical trial studies the side effects of topical fluorouracil and imiquimod ointment in treating patients with high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. Topical fluorouracil may kill precancerous cells. Imiquimod ointment may stimulate the immune system. Applying topical fluorouracil and imiquimod ointment may cause fewer side effects and may be a better way to treat patients with precancerous cervical lesions.

A double blind, prospective, randomized, placebo controlled, multi-center phase 3 study to evaluate efficacy and safety of Cevira® in patients with cervical histologic high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL).

This project develops, tests and produces a lightweight, cordless, battery driven and rechargeable hand-held device for treating cervical precancer (Liger Thermal Coagulator). The study evaluates its effectiveness compared to the current standard treatment (cryocautery) when used as part of a screen and treat programme using Visual Inspection with Acetic acid (VIA) in Sub Saharan Africa.

To identify: 1) Whether being informed infrequently results about screening is at least as a) safe and b) accurate as frequently obtaining all information from (the present combination of opportunistic/organized) cervical screening by comparing regimen results of two screening visits at the ages of 25 and 28 years (Arm A1) vs. results of one screening visit at the age of 28 years (Arm A2) in unvaccinated herd effect protected women. Unvaccinated, frequently screened women, who are not under herd effect protection will be controls (C).

The purpose of this academic-industrial partnership will compare the CryoPen® and thermoablator to traditional CO2-based cryotherapy for the treatment of cervical precancer in low and middle income countries (LMICs) and investigate whether the cure rates of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 2 and more severe diagnoses (CIN2+) with these devices are non-inferior compared to that of conventional cryotherapy. The results of this study will affect other research areas by serving as a springboard to exploring treatment alternatives that are amenable to low-resource settings and thus will reach the most vulnerable populations.

The research project applies the protocol of the World Health Organisation for screening of cervical cancer, with testing of hrHPV as first screening, followed by Visual Inspection of the cervix with Acetic Acid for hrHPV-positive women and for women with minor lesions thermo-ablation of affected areas. This procedure is applied in Uganda, India and Bangladesh. In Slovakia hrHPV-positive women are offered Pap-smear and for women with Pap IV lis excision.

This clinical trial aims to find what different tests work best to find high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL) in the cervix or anus in patients living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Patients with HIV are at high risk of becoming infected with human papillomavirus (HPV) in the cervix or anus where it can turn into cancer over several years. HPV causes changes to the cervix and anus, known as HSIL. This means that there is an area of abnormal tissue on the top layers of the cervix or anus. It is considered cervical or anal cancer if the abnormality spreads down into the layers of tissue below the top. If found early, many cases of HSIL can be treated before turning into cancer. Screening for cervical or anal cancer detection or HSIL associated with HPV may result in earlier treatment, if necessary, for patients living with HIV.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of personalized postpartum follow-up cards on completion of postpartum health related tasks. The intervention will consist of a card given to patients at time of discharge. One side of the card will list the patient's name and a list of recommended postpartum follow-up appointments based on their diagnoses at the time of discharge. Participants will be randomized to this intervention or the control group, which will consist of standard education routinely given at discharge. The primary endpoint will be the rate of completion of a postpartum blood pressure check or two hour glucose tolerance test, or both, depending on the patient's discharge diagnosis within the first year after discharge. The secondary endpoints will include establishing care with a primary care provider within the first year after delivery, or completion of postpartum pap smear or colposcopy, as indicated.
