Pee instead of swab: new study tests urine HPV test for cervical cancer
NCT ID NCT06254846
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is testing whether a simple urine sample can be used instead of a cervical swab to screen for HPV, the virus that causes most cervical cancers. The researchers will collect first-void urine from 350 women aged 30–65 using a special device and compare the results to the standard swab test. They will also ask participants how acceptable they found the urine collection method.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
First-void urine sample collected with Colli-Pee® device
What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a simple, painless urine test for HPV, making cervical cancer screening more accessible and comfortable.
What could go wrong
This is a single-center study with 350 participants. Previous urine tests have shown lower sensitivity, and this study is still recruiting, so results are not yet confirmed.
