NCT ID NCT07192055
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether letting people collect their own anal samples at home can increase the number of high-risk individuals who follow through with clinic appointments for anal cancer screening. About 572 participants from Chicago, Houston, and Milwaukee will either self-sample or choose between self-sampling and provider sampling. The goal is to see if this approach improves attendance for cytology and high-resolution anoscopy.
