Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Women aged 30-59 who are willing to perform HPV self-sampling and do not meet exclusion criteria.

Probably not a fit

Women outside the age range, those with a prior hysterectomy, recent HPV testing within 5 years, or a history of invasive cancer may not benefit from this testing approach.

What this trial studies

This interventional study evaluates a low-cost, locally processable HPV test (ScreenFire) for cervical cancer screening. The trial uses a same-day screen-and-treat approach, allowing immediate follow-up actions if needed. Eligible participants are women aged 30-59 who agree to self-collect an HPV sample; those with prior hysterectomy or recent HPV testing are excluded. The study is conducted at Ministry of Health clinics in San Salvador, led by The Cleveland Clinic, to determine efficacy and potential cost-effectiveness in LMIC settings.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the approach could simplify screening, reduce loss to follow-up, and enable earlier detection and treatment of cervical abnormalities.

How similar studies have gone: Prior studies suggest that point-of-care, low-cost HPV testing with same-day treatment can improve adherence, though this exact approach in LMIC settings is still being evaluated.
