Patient Self-sampling of HPV to Screen for Cervical Cancer

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Human Papilloma Virus
Interventions
Diagnostic Test: Swab kit (COBAS HPV 4800 Assay -Evalyn brush)
Diagnostic Test: Clinician-collection of cervical sample for HPV testing
Registration Number
NCT05600283
Lead Sponsor
Mayo Clinic
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to validate a patient self-sampling vaginal collection kit and laboratory testing for the detection of HPV (human papillomavirus) infection. Researchers will compare the laboratory results of self-collected vaginal swab samples to usual healthcare provider-collected cervical swab samples to determine the laboratory HPV testing accuracy of the self-collection swab.
