Registration Number
NCT06362421
Lead Sponsor
Wake Forest University Health Sciences
Brief Summary

The purpose of this research study is to determine if saliva and oral swab samples can be used to detect human papillomavirus in patients with cancer. In this study, the methods required to detect human papillomavirus will be developed and tested in samples collected from patients with oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma and compared to samples collected from participants without cancer.

Detailed Description

To validate the detection of human papillomavirus 16 and 18 and reference gene ACTB in saliva and buccal swab samples obtained from patients with oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) using the LAMP/CRISPR/electrochemical workflow.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Participants with Sensitivity for Detection of HPV 16, 18 and gene ACTBUp to 2 years

The sensitivity of the LAMP/CRISPR/electrochemical workflow for detection of HPV 16, 18, and reference gene ACTB will be measured using patient samples with a 95% Clopper Pearson Exact Binomial confidence interval for the estimated sensitivity (or specificity) will have a lower bound of 83% if the observed sensitivity (or specificity) is 95%. For each of these estimates investigators will examine the proportion and the corresponding 95% Clopper Pearson exact binomial confidence interval.

Number of Participants with Specificity Detection of HPV 16, 18 and gene ACTBUp to 2 years

The specificity of the LAMP/CRISPR/electrochemical workflow for detection of HPV 16, 18, and reference gene ACTB will be measured using patient samples with a 95% Clopper Pearson Exact Binomial confidence interval for the estimated sensitivity (or specificity) will have a lower bound of 83% if the observed sensitivity (or specificity) is 95%. For each of these estimates investigators will examine the proportion and the corresponding 95% Clopper Pearson exact binomial confidence interval.

Overall Accuracy - All ParticipantsUp to 2 years

For estimating overall accuracy (using all patients with n=80), the confidence interval will have a lower bound of 88% if the accuracy is at least 95%. For each of these estimates investigators will examine the proportion and the corresponding 95% Clopper Pearson exact binomial confidence interval.
