Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are women with biopsy‑confirmed CIN3 whose lesions are fully visible in a type 1 or 2 transformation zone and whose ECC does not show high‑grade disease, without porphyria or photosensitivity.

Probably not a fit

Patients with suspected or confirmed invasive cancer, glandular/endocervical involvement, TCT HSIL, porphyria or allergy to light, severe medical comorbidities, or lesions that are not fully visible or are in a type 3 transformation zone are unlikely to benefit or be eligible.

What this trial studies

This single-center interventional study at Peking University Third Hospital delivers topical 20% 5‑amino‑ketovalerate followed by 630 nm red‑light activation to treat biopsy-confirmed CIN3 lesions in a real‑world clinical setting. Eligible participants have fully visible lesion boundaries in a type 1 or 2 transformation zone and an ECC that does not indicate high‑grade disease, while those with suspected invasive cancer, glandular involvement, TCT HSIL, porphyria, light allergy, or severe comorbidities are excluded. Investigators will monitor lesion response and safety with colposcopy, cytology, and scheduled follow-up visits, though detailed endpoints and follow-up timing are not provided. The approach aims to test a non‑surgical, fertility‑sparing treatment option and document its tolerability in routine care.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a less invasive, fertility‑sparing alternative to excisional surgery for women with CIN3.

How similar studies have gone: Small trials and case series of photodynamic therapy for CIN, including CIN2/3, have reported promising lesion clearance and acceptable safety but large randomized trials remain limited.
