NCT ID NCT06942286
First seen Jun 26, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study is testing whether women in Indonesia can successfully collect their own samples for HPV testing, which could make cervical cancer screening more accessible. Researchers will enroll 8,000 women aged 30-69 who haven't been screened recently. The goal is to see if self-collection is a practical and effective way to detect HPV and prevent cervical cancer.
