This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published

Summary

This study tests whether a daily oral supplement containing green tea extract (EGCG), folic acid, vitamin B12, and hyaluronic acid can help women clear a persistent human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. HPV is a common virus that can cause cervical cancer if it stays in the body for a long time. The trial involves 42 women aged 25 and older who have had HPV for at least 9 months and have low-grade cervical changes. Half will take the supplement for six months, while the other half receive standard care. Researchers will measure whether the virus's activity in cells decreases, which could indicate the body is clearing the infection.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Pervistop (epigallocatechin gallate, folic acid, vitamin B12, hyaluronic acid)
What this could lead to
If effective, this supplement could offer a simple, non-invasive way to help the body clear persistent HPV and reduce the risk of cervical cancer.
What could go wrong
This is a small early-stage trial with only 42 participants, so results may not apply broadly. Dietary supplements are not regulated as strictly as drugs, and the effect may be modest or absent.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 42 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Patients able to adhere to the proposed study protocol Exclusion Criteria: 1. High grade cervical lesions (HSIL) 2. Ongoing pregnancy, evaluated through a rapid chromatographic immunoassay for qualitative detection of hCG in urine 3. Ongoing breastfeeding 4. Primary or secondary immunodepression due to pharmacological treatments 5. No HPV vaccination 6. Daily assumption of other products containing green tea 7.
