Evaluating a test for cervical pre-cancer
Official title: Evaluation of the PreCursor-M+® Assay Performance in the Management of Women Diagnosed With CIN2
Run by European Institute of Oncology · NCT06403618 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing a new test called PreCursor-M+ to see if it can accurately identify changes in cervical pre-cancer in women with CIN2, while they are monitored over two years.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are women aged 18 and older with a histological confirmation of CIN2.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with unknown HPV test results or those considered vulnerable may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational study aims to assess the accuracy and sensitivity of the PreCursor-M+ assay on liquid-based cytology samples from women diagnosed with Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia Grade 2 (CIN2). Participants will be monitored over two years, with evaluations at six-month intervals, and will be divided into two groups: one receiving active surveillance and the other undergoing immediate treatment. The study will analyze clinical outcomes based on the PreCursor-M+ results, including regression, persistence, or progression of CIN2. The assay focuses on detecting specific methylation patterns in genes associated with cervical cancer.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could improve the management and treatment decisions for women diagnosed with CIN2.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promise in using methylation markers for cervical cancer detection, suggesting potential success for this approach.
