U.S., July 26 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07085845) titled 'The Self-Sampling Pilot Study' on July 10.
Brief Summary: The investigators will test the cytological performance of a nylon-flocked swab at two insertion depths in the anus, 3 cm and 5 cm, to determine which insertion depth is better at collecting cells from the squamocolumnar junction (SCJ), an anatomic site that is particularly vulnerable to carcinogenic transformation. The investigators hypothesize that the 5 cm insertion will result in a higher quality specimen with cells from the SCJ. However, the deeper swab insertion may affect end user acceptability without increasing adequacy or quality.
