At-Home style HPV test at Walk-In clinics could boost cancer screening
NCT ID NCT07186530
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether offering women a simple self-collection kit for HPV testing at Express Care clinics (which have evening and weekend hours) increases cervical cancer screening rates. About 500 women aged 30–63 who are overdue for screening will either receive usual care or be invited to self-collect a vaginal swab at the clinic. The goal is to see if this convenient option helps more women get screened and follow up on abnormal results.
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 approach could make cervical cancer screening more convenient and accessible, potentially increasing early detection and prevention.
- What could go wrong
- This is a single-site study with 500 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention is already FDA-approved, so the main question is about uptake, not efficacy.

Inclusion Criteria: * Women ages 30-63 years old receiving primary care with a provider at Mayo Clinic in Rochester and who self-identify as asymptomatic (i.e., no pelvic pain, abnormal vaginal bleeding or abnormal vaginal discharge) * Qualify for average risk cervical cancer screening per United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) guidelines but are overdue by \>= 1 year, including those who have never been screened * Must have an active Patient Online Services account (patient portal), approval for research contact status in portal/Epic and documentation of Minnesota (MN) research authorization, and health insurance coverage Exclusion Criteria: * History of hysterectomy * Cervical cancer * Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) 2-3 * In utero diethylstilbestrol (DES) exposure * HIV+ * Use of chronic immunosuppressant medication * Known to be pregnant * Medicare-covered women are NOT eligible as Medicare does not cover primary HPV testing by clinician-collection or self-collection \[related to outdated Centers for Medicare \& Medicaid Services (CMS) cervical cancer screening coverage rules for Medicare that date back to 2015, 3 years before primary HPV screening was endorsed by USPSTF\]
