Could Self-Sampling revolutionize cervical cancer screening?
NCT ID NCT07758140
First seen Aug 11, 2026 · Last updated Aug 12, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial evaluates whether a new self-collection device, Mia by XytoTest, can be used effectively by people to collect their own vaginal samples for cervical cancer screening. The study compares the accuracy of these self-collected samples against clinician-collected samples for detecting high-risk HPV, the virus that causes most cervical cancers. Participants include women aged 25 to 65 with an intact cervix, including those at higher risk due to prior abnormal results. If the device works well, it could offer a more private and convenient screening option.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Mia by XytoTest, a self-collection device for vaginal specimens
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could enable at-home or clinic-based self-sampling for cervical cancer screening, making it more accessible and comfortable for many people.
- What could go wrong
- The trial is relatively small and focuses on agreement with clinician-collected samples, not long-term cancer outcomes. Self-collection may not always yield enough cells, and results may not generalize to all populations.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: Group 1: General Population Group 1. Participants are 25 to 65 years of age and willing to provide informed consent. 2. Participants have an intact cervix. Group 2: Enriched Population Group 1. Participants are 25 to 65 years of age and willing to provide informed consent. 2. Participants have an intact cervix. 3. One or more of: prior diagnosis of hrHPV within previous 6 months; abnormal cervical Pap cytology result of HSIL or higher (HSIL, AIS, or invasive carcinoma per the Bethesda 2014 system) within previous 6 months; and/or presenting for colposcopy/LEEP/excisional intervention. Exclusion Criteria: Apply to all groups: 1. Impaired decision-making capacity or inability to provide informed consent. 2. History of partial or total hysterectomy, including removal of the cervix. 3. Cervical tissue alteration or surgery within 5 months prior (conization, LEEP, laser ablation, or cryotherapy). 4. Current pregnancy (based on self-reporting). 5. Active menstruation at time of specimen collection. 6. Vaginal bleeding within 48 hours. 7. Have had sex or used tampons, creams, or other vaginal products in the last 48 hours. 8. Participation in another clinical study that, in the investigator's opinion, would interfere with the results of this study. 9. Any medical reason that, in the investigator's opinion, would disqualify the participant for a routine pelvic exam with cervical sample collection.
