Adjuvant 5-Fluorouracil Following Thermal Ablation to Improve HPV Treatment Outcomes in Women With HIV in Kenya : The ASCEND Trial
Обзор
This randomized, placebo-controlled trial will evaluate self-administered 5-fluorouracil (5FU) to improve human papillomavirus (HPV) clearance after thermal ablation (TA) in Women With Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) (WWH) in Kenya. The trial will also assess the safety, adherence, and acceptability of 5FU. Starting four weeks after TA, participants will self-administer 5FU cream or matched placebo intravaginally once every other week for 12 applications, with clinic visits at weeks 2, 8, 16, 24, and 48 for evaluation. All participants will be followed up to 48 weeks. It is hypothesized that, compared to placebo, 5FU will increase HPV clearance at 24 weeks and that the proposed dosing schedule will be safe, well-tolerated, and acceptable in this population. Together with data from other studies, this trial will provide evidence on the use of self-administered intravaginal 5FU to improve HPV treatment outcomes in WWH in low- and middle-income countries, where the burden of cervical cancer is highest.
Подробное описание
WWH face up to six times higher risk of cervical cancer, a leading cause of death in this population. Cervical cancer is caused by persistent HPV infection, which can lead to cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2/3 (CIN2/3), also called cervical precancer. If untreated, CIN2/3 can progress to cervical cancer. Thermal ablation (TA) is the most commonly used treatment for HPV/precancer in low- and middle-income countries, including Kenya. However, among WWH, TA has suboptimal efficacy, with only 44-66% clearing HPV or CIN2/3 at 6-12 months, compared to 83-95% in women without HIV. This highlights the need for adjuvant therapies to improve outcomes.
Studies in high-income countries suggest that off-label, self-administered intravaginal 5FU cream can improve HPV and CIN2/3 treatment outcomes in both HIV-negative and HIV-positive women. This trial will evaluate its potential as an adjuvant therapy following TA in WWH.
