Pocket colposcopy for women with positive HPV test
Part of Cancer, Infections, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a new, smaller device called a pocket colposcope to look at the cervix (the opening of the womb) in women who have had a positive HPV test. The goal is to see if this simpler tool can help find cell changes that might lead to cancer, so you can get treatment sooner.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a new questionnaire that may help doctors better identify which women need treatment for cervical changes. It is for women who have had an abnormal Pap smear or a positive HPV test and are going for a colposcopy (a closer look at the cervix).
This study offers a way to screen for cervical cancer using an HPV self-test. It is designed for women who may not have had a recent Pap smear and are from certain minority groups.
This trial studies whether letting people collect their own HPV test sample (a private, at-home option) makes cervical cancer screening easier for people with HIV and/or those who are often underserved. If you’ve declined a Pap test or it’s been 6+ months since your last screening, this may offer a more convenient way to check for HPV and cervical cancer risk.
This trial tests whether a special pad you wear during your period can detect signs of cervical precancer. If you are already scheduled for a colposcopy due to an abnormal Pap or HPV test, you might be able to participate.
This study compares different ways to screen for cervical cancer in women living with HIV. It aims to find the most effective and practical screening approach for this group.
This study tests whether removing a small piece of the cervix (cone biopsy) can help diagnose hidden precancer when regular tests are unclear. It may help you get a clearer diagnosis if you have ongoing HPV or abnormal cell changes.
