Imiquimod in Preventing Cervical Cancer in Women With Cervical Neoplasia Clinical Trials References presented on Clinical Trials Search is not intended to be a substitute for proven healthcare advice, trips or professional assistance by using a real medical. We aren't mDs. Always confer with your physician about Imiquimod in Preventing Cervical Cancer in Women With Cervical Neoplasia conditions. Clinical Trials Search.org is a website devoted to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. Imiquimod in Preventing Cervical Cancer in Women With Cervical Neoplasia Clinical research trials and Imiquimod in Preventing Cervical Cancer in Women With Cervical Neoplasia medical trials take place in hundreds of localities across the U.S.. A clinical trial or clinical study is a research project with human volunteer subjects. Clinical drug trials and pharmaceutical clinical trials usually evaluate the effectualness of new does drugs. The purpose of the studies / projects is to solve specific human health questions. Clinical trials are a popular way for physicians, government agencies, and private sector companies to discover treatments for all sorts of conditions, such as Imiquimod in Preventing Cervical Cancer in Women With Cervical Neoplasia. Imiquimod in Preventing Cervical Cancer in Women With Cervical Neoplasia Clinical Trials and other clinical trials permit volunteers to access healthcare treatment choices before they are available to the general public. Some times the subjects recieve professional assistance for without cost, and every now and again they are compensated for their time. Sometimes there is a cost for a Imiquimod in Preventing Cervical Cancer in Women With Cervical Neoplasia clinical trial. Subjects often receive the most expert healthcare possible for their Imiquimod in Preventing Cervical Cancer in Women With Cervical Neoplasia condition. Risks are a reality, nevertheless, and could include additional or frequent dr. calls, healthcare dangers (perhaps life-jeopardising), and/or the treatment being ineffective. Trials are federally governed with stern guidelines to protect clinical trials subjects.

Imiquimod in Preventing Cervical Cancer in Women With Cervical Neoplasia
For Condition: Cervical Cancer
Status: Recruiting
Sponsor(s): North Central Cancer Treatment Group , National Cancer Institute (NCI)
Synopsis: RATIONALE: Chemoprevention therapy is the use of certain substances to try to prevent the development of cancer. Applying topicalimiquimod before abnormal cervical cells are removed may be effective in preventing cervical cancer. PURPOSE: Randomizedphase II trial to study the effectiveness of applying topical imiquimod before abnormal cervical cells are removed in preventing cervical cancer in patients who have recurrent or persistent cervical neoplasia.
Details: OBJECTIVES: - Compare the chemopreventive efficacy of topical imiquimod followed by local ablative or excisional therapy vs ablative/excisional therapy alone in patients with recurrent or high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. - Compare the toxicity of these regimens in these patients. - Compare the quality of life of patients treated with these regimens. - Determine the safety and tolerability of imiquimod in these patients. OUTLINE: This is a randomized, multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to participating center, disease (primary vs recurrent or persistent), severity of dysplasia (grade I vs grade II vs grade III), current tobacco use (yes vs no), planned surgical procedure (excisional vs laser vs cryotherapy vs other), and time since first abnormal Pap smear, including pathology of ascus favor dysplasia (less than 1 year vs 1-3 years vs more than 3 years). Patients are randomized to one of two treatment arms. - Arm I: Patients undergo ablative or excisional therapy. - Arm II: Patients have topical imiquimod applied to the cervix for 6-10 hours twice weekly for a total of 5 doses. Within 3-4 weeks after the final application, patients undergo ablative or excisional therapy. Quality of life is assessed at baseline, after last dose of study drug (arm II only), 3-5 days after ablation or excisional therapy, at 3 months, and then annually thereafter. Patients are followed every 3-4 months until 2 consecutive normal Pap smears or colposcopic exams, every 6 months for 2 years, and then annually until 5 years after completion of study therapy. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 66-152 (33-76 per treatment arm) will be accrued for this study within 18 months.
Eligibility:
