NCT ID NCT06942286
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study is testing whether women in Indonesia can successfully collect their own samples for HPV testing, which could make cervical cancer screening more accessible. Researchers will enroll 8,000 women aged 30-69 who haven't been screened recently. The goal is to see if self-collection is a practical and effective way to detect HPV and prevent 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 self-collection kit
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could make cervical cancer screening easier and more accessible for women in Indonesia, potentially reducing cancer rates through earlier detection.
- What could go wrong
- This is a pilot study, so results may not apply to all populations. Self-collection may have lower accuracy than clinician-collected samples, and participation rates could be low.
