Blood test could reveal if cervical cancer treatment is working
NCT ID NCT07214584
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing two blood tests that look for HPV DNA and RNA to see if they can track how well cervical cancer responds to surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. Researchers will enroll 55 adults with HPV-related cervical cancer and compare the test results with standard imaging. The goal is to find a simpler, less invasive way to monitor treatment success.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- liquid biopsy (blood test for HPV DNA/RNA)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, these blood tests could help doctors quickly see if cervical cancer treatment is working, without needing invasive biopsies.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early feasibility study with only 55 people. The tests may not be accurate enough to replace standard imaging, and results may not apply to all patients.
