Brief Summary

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

To learn if new HPV tests can provide the same results as standard HPV tests. The findings from this study may aid in the development of new HPV tests that require less equipment and are more accessible.

Detailed Description

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

Primary Objectives

1\. To evaluate the performance of 3 versions of a novel point-of-care diagnostic test for detecting HPV ("Rice HPV test").

Secondary Objectives

1. To evaluate the results of the Rice HPV test with corresponding pathology results to assess the association of HPV test results with the presence of high-grade cervical dysplasia (CIN 2+).
2. To assess how different sample processing methods affect the performance of the Rice HPV test.
3. To assess how different test readout methods affect the performance of the Rice HPV test.

Exploratory Objectives

1. Compare the performance of the Rice HPV test between provider-collected and self-collected samples.
2. Conduct a survey on participant experiences with self-sampling to assess whether participants prefer self-sampling over provider-collected sampling.
3. Compare the performance of the Rice HPV test to other benchmark HPV tests such as GeneXpert.

Study Groups

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

Research Group

Standard-of-care (SOC) procedures will be performed as part of the routine visit, and the provider will collect up to two additional cervical swabs for research. One research cervicovaginal swab may also be self-collected by the patient (optional procedure) in the clinic during the routine visit. All research swab samples, in addition to residual material from standard of care HPV testing, will be transferred to Rice University team for testing and some will be tested on site at the provider facility as described below.
