Light therapy for low-grade cervical HPV 16/18
Part of Cancer, Infections, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests a light-activated drug (ALA-PDT) to treat low-grade cervical changes caused by HPV 16 or 18. It may help clear the virus and prevent progression to more serious disease.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman between 20 and 60 years old.
- You have tested positive for HPV type 16 or 18.

- You are willing to give written permission to participate.
- You have not had a hysterectomy or any cervical treatment (like LEEP or cone biopsy) in the past 6 months.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

This study tests a light-based treatment (photodynamic therapy) for cervical precancer called CIN2. It may be an option if you want to avoid surgery and preserve the cervix.
This study tests a new vaginal medication (Dysplasix) to treat mild cervical cell changes caused by high-risk HPV. The goal is to see if this treatment can help your body clear the virus and prevent these changes from getting worse.
This trial tests a light-based treatment (photodynamic therapy) for high-grade or persistent low-grade abnormal cells in the cervix or vagina. It aims to destroy these cells without surgery, which may be an option for patients who want to avoid more invasive procedures.
This study compares two treatments—photodynamic therapy using a special light-activated cream and a CO2 laser—to see which works better for clearing low-grade cervical changes caused by a long-lasting high-risk HPV infection. The goal is to find a safe, effective option for women who have had this condition for over a year.
This study tests a light-activated therapy (HAL-PDT) to treat high-grade cervical dysplasia before considering surgery. It compares the response to standard surgery, aiming to see if the light therapy can help avoid or delay more invasive procedures.
This study tests a special light-based treatment (called HAL-PDT) for early cervical changes (CIN2) that were found on a recent biopsy. The goal is to see if this treatment can safely remove these changes and prevent them from becoming cancer.
