Randomized trial of immediate treatment versus colposcopic followup for biopsy proven cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) 1
ISRCTN ISRCTN91252554
ClinicalTrials.gov identifier
Public title Randomized trial of immediate treatment versus colposcopic followup for biopsy proven cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) 1
Scientific title
Acronym N/A
Serial number at source MCT-38135
Study hypothesis The optimal management strategy for women with biopsy confirmed Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia 1 (CIN 1) is unclear. Our hypothesis is that a strategy of colposcopic follow up and treating progressive disease is as good as immediate treatment with Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure (LEEP).
Lay summary
Ethics approval Ethics approval received from the McMaster University Research Ethics Board in December 2004.
Study design Randomised controlled trial
Countries of recruitment Canada
Disease/condition/study domain Preinvasive Cervical Disease
Participants - inclusion criteria 1. Documented CIN 1 by histologic assessment as the highest grade lesion present
2. Lesion confined to the cervix and completely visualized
3. Be 16 years or older, female
Participants - exclusion criteria Among patients satisfying the inclusion criteria the following will be excluding characteristics:
1. Index Pap smear showing CIN 2, 3 or cancer:
1.1. Index Pap smear shows atypical glandular cells of unknown significance, glandular dysplasia or malignancy requiring immediate investigation
1.2. Patients with previously identified CIN 1 by biopsy who are already in a surveillance program
2. Unsatisfactory colposcopic exam defined as inability to see the extent of the lesion in the endocervical canal or absence of a lesion on the ectocervix but endocervical curettage shows CIN 1
3. Pregnancy
4. Prior therapy for dysplasia including medical (5FU), surgical (Laser, LEEP) or cryotherapy
5. Prior gynecologic cancer
6. Prior pelvic radiation therapy
7. Inability to attend outpatient followup visits because of geographic inaccessibility
8. Other malignancies except non-melanoma skin cancer

10. Cognitively impaired or otherwise unable to obtain written informed consent
11. Extension of the CIN 1 lesion to vagina or a separate vaginal lesion showing dysplasia
12. Colposcopically visible condyloma outside of the transformation zone
