Overview

All patients will be enrolled in Mozambique and Brazil. They will provide informed consent to use their cervical biopsy and/or LEEP specimens for imaging with DeepDOF prior to sending for standard of care processing and interpretation.

Description

Primary Objectives:

  1. Evaluate the diagnostic performance of the DeepDOF digital histopathology platform compared with standard histopathology in cervical biopsies and/or LEEP specimens.
  2. Compare performance characteristics between WLWH and HIV-negative women.

Secondary Objectives:

  1. Evaluate the ability of pathologists to provide a diagnostic evaluation of cervical biopsies and LEEP margins using digital DeepDOF images.
  2. Develop DeepDOF algorithms for automated diagnostic evaluation of cervical biopsies and LEEP margins.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Women aged 25 - 49 years
  2. women undergoing cervical biopsy and/or LEEP
  3. Women who are not pregnant and with a negative pregnancy test (within 3 days of enrollment)
  4. Willing and capable of providing informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Women under 25 or over 49 years of age
  2. Women not undergoing cervical biopsy or LEEP
  3. Women who are pregnant

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
