Testing a new speculum for endometrial biopsies
Part of Cancer, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests a new type of vaginal speculum designed to make endometrial biopsies (a procedure to take a small sample of the lining of the uterus) more comfortable and effective. If you have had this biopsy before at the Minnesota Oncology Clinic, you may be eligible to help evaluate this new tool.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a biological woman with a uterus.
- You are between 18 and 90 years old.
- You have had an endometrial biopsy before at the Minnesota Oncology Clinic.
- You are not pregnant, do not have an active pelvic infection, and do not have uncontrolled bleeding.

This study looks at how well a surgical tool is used during standard surgery for early endometrial cancer, and whether it relates to test results from fluid taken in the abdomen. It may help surgeons improve how samples are collected and interpreted during routine care.
This study tests a simple, non-invasive method to detect endometrial cancer in women after menopause who have abnormal bleeding. It aims to find cancer early in those at higher risk, such as women with certain genetic conditions or risk factors.
This study tests two less invasive methods—sampling cells from the lining of the uterus (endometrial cytology) and checking DNA changes in the cervix—to see if they can help detect endometrial cancer or atypical hyperplasia, and to monitor response in people who are preserving their fertility. It aims to find a gentler alternative to traditional biopsy.
This study looks for “methylated DNA markers” (special DNA patterns) to help detect endometrial, ovarian, and cervical cancers, and to support doctors around planned procedures. It may help find cancer earlier or better sort out who needs closer treatment.
This trial tests a new way to take a small sample of the womb lining (biopsy) using a thin, flexible tube guided by ultrasound. The goal is to see if ultrasound guidance makes the biopsy more accurate and comfortable in people with post-menopausal bleeding.
This study tests a new device that collects a sample from the vagina to look for signs of womb (endometrial) or ovarian cancer. It may offer a simpler way to check for these cancers compared to current methods.
