Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Comparison of the detection of human papillomavirus DNA in paired physician-obtained cervical swabs and self-sampled cervicovaginal swabs and evaluation of HPV prevalence in Czech women screening population.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The cervical screening program in the Czech Republic is based on cytology with HPV triage. Nevertheless, cytology-based cervical screening may switch to HPV-based cervical screening in future. The implementation of primary HPV screening and insuficiency cervical screening attendance are a major challenge. The offering of self-sampling to the cervical screening non-attenders could increase women's participation as was shown in several European countries. The objective of the HPVPro study was to find out the HPV prevalence in the screening population of Czech women since there are no data for the Czech Republic. The second objective was to compare HPV DNA detection rate in paired self-sampled cervicovaginal swabs and physician-obtained cervical swabs and to determine acceptability of self-sampling HPV DNA test by Czech women. This information is important for optimisation of cervical cancer screening program in the Czech Republic.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Self-sampling device in media

Women will undergo clinician-obtained cervical swab and self-sampled cervicovaginal swab using self-sampling device in STM media. HPV will be detected by hybridization technique.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Self-sampling using digene HC2 DNA Collection Device

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

All women will undergo a clinician-collected cervical swab and self-collected cervicovaginal swab.

Dry self-sampling device

Women will undergo clinician-obtained cervical swab and self-sampled cervicovaginal swab using dry self-sampling device. HPV will be detected by hybridization and PCR techniques.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Self-sampling using Evalyn Brush

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

All women will undergo a clinician-collected cervical swab and self-collected cervicovaginal swab.
