Self-collection for HPV Testing to Improve Cervical Cancer Prevention (SHIP) Trial (LMI-001-A-S01)

Join our study on self-collecting samples for HPV testing.

Recruiting
25 years and older
Female
Phase N/A

This study is about finding a better way to test for HPV, a virus that can cause cervical cancer. It looks at whether people can collect their own vaginal samples for testing instead of having a doctor do it, which might be more comfortable for some. HPV stands for human papillomavirus, a virus that can last a few months but may sometimes last longer and cause different types of cancer, including cervical cancer.

Participants will collect two vaginal samples themselves and then provide a sample taken by a doctor. Doctors will use these samples to check for HPV. After the samples are collected, participants will have a procedure called a colposcopy, which looks at the cervix more closely, and may have further procedures if needed. The study analyzes the results to see if self-collected samples are as accurate as doctor-collected samples.

  • One-time participation with results available in 90 days.
  • Participants must be 25 years or older and have an intact cervix.
  • Eligible participants should not be pregnant or have recent cervical surgeries.
