To achieve prospective registration, we recommend submitting your trial for registration at the same time as ethics submission.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Intervention/exposure

Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Devices - Molecular testing for HPV
Treatment: Devices - Liquid Based Cytology

Experimental: Intervention (HPV Arm) - Molecular testing for HPV with partial genotyping for types 16/18, with referral of the HPV16/18-positive group for diagnostic evaluation, and secondary randomisation of women testing positive for other oncogenic HPV infection (not 16/18), to either image-read cytology screening or dual-stained (DS) cytology testing with p16/Ki67 - the "HPV arm". Screening performed 5 yearly.

Active comparator: Control (LBC Arm) - Image-read liquid based cytology (LBC) screening with reflex HPV triage testing for low grade smears, the "LBC arm." Screening performed 2.5 yearly.


Treatment: Devices: Molecular testing for HPV
Molecular testing for HPV with a test allowing partial genotyping for separate identification of types 16/18 from cervical samples. The technology used in this trial will be approved by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) Australia. It will identify the major HPV oncogenic genotypes in a pool and separately identify HPV 16 and 18. It will also satisfy performance criteria for relative sensitivity and specificity compared to Hybrid Capture 2 (HC2 ) as articulated by Meijer et al, 2009, Guidelines for human papillomavirus DNA test requirements for primary cervical cancer screening in women 30 years and older.

Treatment: Devices: Liquid Based Cytology
The liquid based cytology (LBC) used in this trial will be will be approved by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) Australia for LBC and appropriately validated and (TGA approved) to perform human papillomavirus testing from a cytology sample.

Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
* Australian residents with a cervix, aged 25-69 years who are attending for routine cervical screening. (Note: since April 2016 recruitment has been confined to the younger strata, i.e. women age-eligible for HPV vaccination aged at least 25 and born on or after 1st July 1980, as the recruitment target of the older cohort was met).
* Participants may have been previously enrolled in the Compass Pilot but must have been discharged to routine screening. Women may also be in follow-up management for a previous abnormality or unsatisfactory cytology.
Minimum age
25 Years
Maximum age
69 Years
Sex
Females
Can healthy volunteers participate?
Yes
Key exclusion criteria
* Previous total hysterectomy (uterus and cervix).
* The presence of symptoms or signs for which cervical cancer must be excluded.
* Currently undergoing treatment for cervical cancer.
* Currently enrolled in the Compass Pilot Study.
