Official title: MIA-COMP Pivotal Study: COMParative Self-Collection for Cervical Cancer Screening

Run by Mel Mont Medical · NCT07758140 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study tests whether individuals can correctly use a self-collection device to gather a vaginal sample for high-risk HPV screening and whether the self-collected sample agrees with clinician-collected samples.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults aged 25 to 65 with an intact cervix who consent to participate.

Probably not a fit

Individuals with altered cervical anatomy or who do not meet device usage requirements may not benefit.

What this trial studies

The pivotal study assesses the Mia by XytoTest self-collection device for obtaining vaginal samples suitable for the cobas HPV test. It compares diagnostic agreement between Mia self-collected specimens and clinician-collected samples for detecting high-risk HPV. The study also checks safety and whether end users from diverse populations can use the device safely and effectively. Residual samples may be used for additional assays to explore other biomarkers. The goal is to support FDA marketing authorization for the Mia device.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, individuals may have a convenient, reliable option for HPV screening that can be done at home or with minimal supervision.

How similar studies have gone: Previous work with similar self-collection approaches has shown promise but final regulatory acceptance depends on this study’s outcomes.
