Active clinical trials for "Uterine Cervical Dysplasia"

Primary objectives To conduct a randomized clinical trial of the emerging technology fluorescence and reflectance spectroscopy, comparing colposcopy to colposcopy + spectroscopy in the diagnostic setting, stratifying patients by outside Papanicolaou (Pap) smear of low grade and high grade squamous intraepithelial lesions, and to use multispectral digital colposcopy retrospectively. The number of clinically read referral Paps, clinically read UT MD Anderson Cancer Center (MDACC) Paps, quantitatively read Paps, quantitatively read biopsies, point probe fluorescence/reflectance spectroscopy, and the multi-spectral digital colposcopy image, that shows a possible cancer, High-grade Squamous Intraepithelial Lesion (HGSIL), Low-grade Squamous Intraepithelial Lesion (LGSIL), or changes less than LGSIL to colposcopically directed biopsies at the first visit, Loop Electrical Excision Procedure (LEEP) at the second visit if needed, repeat evaluations at 6, 12, and 18 months that have Paps, or Paps + Endocervical Curettage or sample of the cervical canal + possible biopsy, and at the 24 month visit when all patients will at minimum have a Pap and an Endocervical Curettage for certain, and a cervical biopsy if any colposcopic abnormality is present. To see if optical spectroscopy using both the point probe and the multi-spectral device improves diagnosis by improving specificity over colposcopy alone. To study the number of colposcopically directed biopsies that show High-grade Squamous Intraepithelial or cancer. To study the number of LEEP specimens that show HGSIL or cancer.

In France, the screening rate for cervical cancer remains too low. Screening is simple and non-invasive. Pregnant patients are most of the time young and are part of the target population for screening, and for many women, it is the first encounter with a gynecologist. The cervical smear is therefore an important step of the first consultation during pregnancy In the case of pathological results, colposcopies with biopsies are performed, frequently finding CIN 1 to 3. (cervical intraepithelial neoplasia) These CIN lesions evolve slowly and most of the time, treatment can be withheld until the end of the pregnancy. Several studies suggest a higher regression rate in pregnant patients. Our study will evaluate the rate of regression, progression or persistence of these lesions in per and post partum patients in Nancy, between 2014 and 2022. To obtain our results, we will compare the results of per and post partum biopsies in each patient. In a second step, we will study the risk factors of aggravation or on the contrary the protective factors, allowing a faster regression of the lesions

Cervical stenosis may occur in up to 19% after conization. It is a cause of infertility and amenorrhea. This study will test a new device named DUDA Device ("Dispositivo Uterino para dilatar canal endocervical") placed just after the conization, in order to evaluate the safety, efficacy and quality of life.

This is an exploratory, open, prospective multi-centre study of VB10.16 immunotherapy in patients with high grade HPV16+ Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia (HSIL; CIN2/3). This study will recruit approximately 27-40 female patients with high grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (HSIL, CIN 2/3) at multiple sites in Europe.

The study will examine the effect of aminolaevulinic acid (ALA) photodynamic therapy (PDT) of cervical precancerous lesions in women.

RATIONALE: Vaccines made from DNA or a gene-modified virus may help the body build an effective immune response to kill tumor cells. Biological therapies, such as imiquimod, may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop tumor cells from growing. Applying topical imiquimod to the cervix may be an effective treatment for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. Giving vaccine therapy together with imiquimod may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of vaccine therapy and to see how well it works when given with or without imiquimod in treating patients with grade 3 cervical intraepithelial neoplasia.

A-007 is an investigational therapy which may be effective in the treatment of pre-cancerous cervical dysplasia (abnormal cell growth). The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of A-007, when used to treat high-grade cervical dysplasia.

This is randomized, placebo controlled study to determine safety and efficacy of VGX-3100 DNA Vaccine delivered by Electroporation to adult women with biopsy-proven HPV 16 or 18 associated Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2/3 or 3.

The present primary therapy of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) grade 3 and persistent CIN 2 represents conisation. Surgical treatment can cause perioperative (infection, bleeding in in 5-10%) and postoperative (increased risk of preterm labor) complications, as well as incomplete resections (20%) and risk of recurrence in 5-17%. Imiquimod is an immunomodulating drug, that has been reported to be effective in human papilloma virus-related disease, such as vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia (VIN), vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia (VAIN), and anal intraepithelial neoplasia (AIN). The present randomised, placebo controlled, double blind study evaluates the efficacy of a topical treatment with imiquimod for 16 weeks in 60 patients with histologically confirmed CIN 2/3.

Ultrasonic surgical aspiration of the cervix may be an effective method of treating cervical dysplasia without compromising the integrity of the cervix in reproductive age women.
