Registration Number

Brief Summary

To assess and compare the performance of the HR HPV HC2® test (Qiagen/Digene) and the APTIMA® HPV Assay (Hologic) using LBC Specimens (ThinPrep® Pap Test) for the detection of HPV infection and high-grade CIN lesions in a screening population of women 30 years of age or older in Germany.

Detailed Description

The study is conducted in the areas of Tuebingen, Freiburg and Saarbruecken in Germany. In total, 10.000 ThinPrep® LBC cervical samples were collected from June 2009 to May 2012. Liquid based cytology (LBC) was performed by a central laboratory in Saarbruecken. Human papilloma virus (HPV) testing with the HR HPV HC2® test and APTIMA® HPV Assay were performed at the Section of Experimental Virology, Institute of Medical Virology, University Clinic of Tuebingen, Germany (UKT).

Within a follow-up phase women who tested positive in any test at baseline will be monitored over a period of 10 years.

Study close out visit: In addition, approximately 5 years after baseline ThinPrep® LBC cervical samples will be collected from a random sample of 4000 study participants who tested triple negative at baseline for determination of the longitudinal negative predictive value (NPV) and HPV related disease after a 5 year period. Women who tested positive in any test will undergo colposcopy.

Analysis of study results at baseline and follow-up visits. Calculation of relative risks of cervical disease for women who are positive for LBC, HC2® and/or APTIMA® test compared to those being negative for any of the three tests at the baseline visit.
