What the study statuses mean

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
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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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

Summary

This trial tests whether a vaginal gel called Papilocare can repair cervical lesions caused by high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV). Researchers plan to include 164 women aged 30 to 65 who have abnormal cervical cell results and test positive for high-risk HPV. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of four groups to compare different uses of the gel. The main goal is to see if the cervical lining heals after six months of treatment.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Papilocare vaginal gel, a gel applied inside the vagina with a single-dose applicator
What this could lead to
If it works, this gel could offer a non-surgical way to help the cervix heal from HPV-related lesions, potentially reducing the need for more invasive procedures.
What could go wrong
This is an early exploratory trial with a modest number of participants, so the gel may not prove effective. HPV lesions sometimes heal on their own, which could make it hard to tell if the gel is truly helping.
