Trial Outcomes & Findings for Dose-finding Study of Hexaminolevulinate (HAL) Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) to Treat Cervical Neoplasia (NCT NCT01256424)

NCT ID: NCT01256424

Last Updated: 2016-05-16

Results Overview

Lesion response was defined by three variables: Histology, cytology and HPV. Patient response at three months required histology regression to CIN1 or normal, cytology of LSIL or less severe, and HPV negative.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 3 months after last treatment

Population: Patients with CIN2 at baseline, based on central histology review

Lesion response was defined by three variables: Histology, cytology and HPV. Patient response at three months required histology regression to CIN1 or normal, cytology of LSIL or less severe, and HPV negative.
