Brief Summary

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

All patients will be provided with a Preprogen Pad to be worn for 4-6 hours to collect cells shed by the endometrium. After the kit is returned to the Preprogen laboratory, a brief survey will be completed. Analysis will be conducted to determine if the PadKit™ can collect a sample of endometrial cells sufficient to differentiate between normal and atypical hyperplasia/malignant cells in blinded samples provided to the laboratory for analysis.

Study Groups

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

Biopsy proven hyperplasia/endometrial cancer with planned hysterectomy

Women with biopsy proven hyperplasia/endometrial cancer with planned hysterectomy

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

PadKit™ from Preprogen

Intervention Type DEVICE

The interlabial pad is classified as a Class 1 device by the FDA and the device is exempt from requiring a 510(k) approval.

The interlabial pad is worn for 4-6 consecutive hours and collects cells shed from the cervix and uterine cavity. The pad is then removed and placed in the smaller, inner tube that contains the transport solution. After replacing the lid securely, it is then carefully placed back inside the larger outer tube with the outer lid secured and returned to the original box. The entire box is placed in the polybag and mailed back to the lab for analysis.

Benign clinical indications

Women with planned hysterectomy for benign clinical indications
