Dysplasix™ intravaginal suppositories for women with high‑risk HPV and mild cervical cell changes
Official title: A Phase II, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-Controlled, Proof of Concept Study to Assess the Safety and Efficacy of Dysplasix™ Intravaginally-Administered Suppositories in Patients With High-Risk Human Papillomavirus (Hr-HPV) as Determined by HPV Testing, and Accompanied by Either (1) Atypical Squamous Cells of Undetermined Significance (ASC-US) or (2) Low-Grade Squamous Intraepithelial Lesions (LSIL), as Determined by Cytology
Run by Amplexd Therapeutics, Inc. · NCT07572396 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This trial tests whether nightly Dysplasix™ vaginal suppositories can clear high‑risk HPV and help mild cervical cell changes (ASC‑US or LSIL) in adult women.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Women aged 18–65 who are immune‑competent, test positive for high‑risk HPV, have ASC‑US or LSIL cytology, can self‑administer vaginal suppositories, and can attend follow‑up visits are the intended participants.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with high‑grade cervical lesions (HSIL), glandular abnormalities, immune compromise, or those unable to use contraception or attend clinic visits are unlikely to benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This Phase II, double‑blind, randomized, placebo‑controlled study enrolls women with high‑risk HPV and cytology showing ASC‑US or LSIL. Enrolled participants self‑administer an intravaginal suppository nightly across a fifteen‑day course (three 5‑day cycles with two days off) and are randomized 1:1 to Dysplasix™ (EGCG + quinine sulfate) or matching placebo. Primary outcomes include regression of cervical cytologic abnormalities and clearance of hr‑HPV measured about 30 days after treatment, while safety and tolerability are tracked with participant diaries and clinic visits. Key exclusions include the presence of high‑grade lesions or glandular abnormalities, and participants must be able to attend clinic visits at the enrolling center.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could clear hr‑HPV and reverse low‑grade cervical lesions, potentially reducing the need for invasive follow‑up procedures.
How similar studies have gone: Topical EGCG preparations have shown some promising results in small studies for HPV‑related lesions, but intravaginal EGCG combined with quinine sulfate is a novel approach that has not been widely tested in randomized trials.
