HPV detection from self-collected menstrual blood
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study is testing whether menstrual blood you collect at home can be used to detect HPV (the virus linked to cervical cancer). If you're due for an HPV test or recently had one, you may be able to participate by providing a menstrual sample instead of a traditional clinic swab.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman between 21 and 49 years old.

- You have a menstrual period (or expect to have one) during the study.
- You had a valid HPV test in the last 90 days (either positive or negative).

This trial tests if women can collect their own samples at home to check for HPV, a virus that can cause cervical cancer. It aims to make screening easier during the war in Ukraine.
This study tests if a self-collected sample for HPV testing works as well as standard colposcopy to prevent cervical cancer. If you've recently had an abnormal cervical cancer screening and need a colposcopy, this trial may be an option for you.
This trial tests if a new DNA test (NGS-HPV) using menstrual blood can detect HPV and help screen for cervical cancer. You may participate if you have regular periods and plan to get cervical screening.
This trial tests whether offering a self-collection kit for HPV testing can help people who are overdue for cervical cancer screening. If you have a cervix and haven't had a Pap test in 3.5 years (or an HPV test in 5.5 years), you may be able to take the test at home instead of in a clinic.
This trial tests whether giving women a self-collection kit to test for HPV at home can help catch cervical cancer early. It is for people who are overdue for screening and have access to a smartphone and the internet.
This trial tests a new way to screen for cervical cancer using a self-collected sample at home. It aims to find high-risk HPV types early to prevent cancer.
