This study tests if a probiotic called EXE-346 can help clear anal high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL), a precancerous condition, in people with HIV who are on effective antiretroviral therapy. If you have anal HSIL that wasn't fully removed by biopsy, you may be able to join.
This trial tests an artesunate ointment to treat high-grade anal precancer (HSIL) in people who do not have HIV. The goal is to see if the ointment can clear the abnormal cells caused by HPV.
This study is screening gay and bisexual men for anal cancer by taking a swab sample. It aims to find early signs of cancer so it can be treated early.
This study tests a self-collected anal swab for detecting HPV (the virus that can cause anal cancer) in people living with HIV. It aims to see if this simple swab is as accurate as a doctor-collected sample, and may help prevent anal cancer.
This study is looking at ways to screen for anal cancer in people who are at higher risk, such as those with weakened immune systems or a history of abnormal cells in the lower genital tract. It aims to find better methods for early detection.
This study tests whether having people collect their own anal samples at home can help find and treat early signs of anal cancer. It is for men and transgender women who have sex with men and who live in or near Chicago, Houston, or Milwaukee.
