About this study

The purpose of this study is to collect design and user input on the safety and effectiveness of the Teal Health self-collection device for patient self-collection of cervicovaginal samples for use with FDA-approved in vitro diagnostics indicated for high risk Human Papillomavirus (hrHPV) screening.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: Yes

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

Group 1: Inclusion Criteria - General Population Group

  • Subject is 25 to 65 years of age and willing to provide informed consent.
  • Subject with intact cervix.

Group 2: Inclusion Criteria - HPV positive Population Group (HPV+ Enriched Group)

  • Subject is 25 to 65 years of age and willing to provide informed consent.
  • Subject with intact cervix.
  • Prior diagnosis of high risk HPV and/or positive cytology and/or presenting for colposcopy.

Exclusion criteria

  • Subject who reports current menstruation.
  • Subject is pregnant (based on self-reporting).
  • Subject has impaired decision-making capacity or unable to provide informed consent.
  • Subject is participating in another clinical study for an investigational device, drug, or biologic that, in the investigator's opinion, would interfere with the results of this study.
  • Subject has undergone partial or complete hysterectomy including removal of the cervix.
  • Subject has applied any chemical compounds to the cervical area within the 24-hours prior to study sample collection, including iodine, spermicide, douche, anti-fungal medications, generally, and specifically: Replens vaginal moisturizer and RepHresh vaginal hygiene products.
  • Subject on whom any form of cervical tissue alteration or surgery has been performed within the prior year, including: conization, Loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP), laser surgery, or cryosurgery.

Treatment and study plan

Teal Health Self-Collection Device Group

Device

Participants will use the Instructions for Use to perform self-collection of cervicovaginal cells using the Teal Health Self-Collection Device, and will fill out a usability survey and a satisfaction and needs survey. A Pap smear will be performed by a clinician before or after self-collection.

Primary outcomes

  1. Primary Safety: SAEs

    Time frame: Acute - immediately after self-collection procedure

    Evaluate SAEs to confirm that SAEs from self-collection are equivalent to the rate of SAEs from health care provider-collection

  2. Primary Effectiveness: Positive Percent Agreement (PPA) and Negative Percent Agreement (NPA)

    Time frame: Up to 30 days

    Detection of high risk HPV in self-collected as compared to clinician-collected sample results.

  3. Primary Effectiveness: Sample Inadequacy Rate

    Time frame: Up to 30 days

    Sample inadequacy rate defined as percent of high risk HPV DNA concentrations below the detection thresholds as determined by the manufacturer.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Usability Survey

    Time frame: Immediately After Self-collection Procedure

    Usability Survey data will be analyzed to determine device design issues (There is no scale - questions are assessed individually)

  2. Satisfaction and Needs Survey

    Time frame: Immediately After Self-collection Procedure

    Satisfaction and Needs Survey data will be used to assess subjects' general willingness to use an HPV self-collection device, and concerns about HPV self-collection. (There is no scale - questions are assessed individually)

  3. Rate of sample adequacy for liquid-based cytology analysis

    Time frame: Up to 30 days

    Samples will be assessed to determine if there is an adequate number of cells for liquid-based cytology analysis
