Clinical Evaluation of the APTIMA® HPV 16 18/45 Genotype Assay on the PANTHER® System

United States2,200 participantsStarted 2012-10

Plain-language summary

The objective of the clinical study is to evaluate the AHPV-GT Assay using the PANTHER System in cervical cancer screening. This objective will be accomplished in the ASC-US Study by evaluating the performance characteristics of the AHPV-GT Assay using the PANTHER System in a sample population of women with ASC-US Pap test results who were 21 years of age or older ("≥21 years of age") at the time of their Pap visit. For the Adjunct Study, this objective will be accomplished by evaluating the ability of the AHPV-GT Assay using the PANTHER System to identify women at increased risk of cervical disease in a sample population of women with negative (NILM)cytology results who were ≥30 years of age at the time of their Pap visit.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.

Inclusion Criteria: Subjects who were previously enrolled into the prospective, multicenter US clinical study for the APTIMA HPV Assay on the TIGRIS System (protocol 2007HPVASCUS30) will be eligible for inclusion in the study of the AHPV-GT Assay using the PANTHER System described in this protocol. All evaluable ASC-US Study subjects ≥21 years of age will be eligible for inclusion. Evaluable Adjunct Study subjects ≥30 years of age will be eligible if the following criteria are met: * the subject attended the colposcopy visit, or * the subject did not attend the colposcopy visit but the referral Pap sample had a positive APTIMA HPV Assay result in the APTIMA HPV Assay TIGRIS System study (protocol 2007HPVASCUS30) or in the APTIMA HPV Assay PANTHER System study (protocol AHPVPS-US11-003). Exclusion Criteria: Eligible subjects will be excluded if they do not have an evaluable sample. This may be due to insufficient volume or because the sample was deemed unsuitable for testing (eg, stored under unacceptable conditions).

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
