NCT ID NCT04927650
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether women in rural Uganda can screen themselves for cervical cancer using a simple HPV test at home. Over 2,500 women aged 25-49 will collect their own samples during community health campaigns. The goal is to see if this approach increases screening rates and helps catch precancerous changes early, potentially preventing cervical cancer.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
HPV testing
What this could lead to
If successful, this could make cervical cancer screening more accessible in low-resource communities, helping detect precancerous changes earlier.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It measures screening uptake and outcomes, so it won't directly test a cure or new therapy.
