Could a vaginal suppository clear High-Risk HPV?
NCT ID NCT07572396
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether a vaginal suppository called Dysplasix can help women clear high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) and reverse low-grade cervical abnormalities. About 45 women with HPV and mild cervical changes will use the suppository or a placebo for 19 days. Researchers will check if the lesions shrink and if the virus clears, while monitoring safety.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Epigallocatechin gallate and quinine sulfate vaginal suppository
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a non-surgical treatment option to clear high-risk HPV and reverse early cervical changes, potentially reducing the need for procedures.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase trial with only 45 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The treatment may not work better than placebo, and side effects are still being studied.
