Abstract

PROJECT ABSTRACT The overarching goal of the “Partnership for Advancing Cervical Cancer Prevention in Women Living with HIV” is to improve the cascade of cervical cancer prevention for women living with HIV (WLWH) including increasing uptake of cervical cancer screening services, improving management of screen positive women, and optimizing precancer treatment outcomes, particularly in resource-constrained settings. Research base members have established collaborations with a history of conducting successful clinical trials and impacting clinical care. As a CASCADE Research Base, we will provide impactful scientific and statistical direction for pragmatic clinical trials to be conducted at the CASCADE Clinical Sites. We will establish a central administrative infrastructure to facilitate the conduct of three pragmatic trials. The proposed trials will include an investigation of primary HPV screening to facilitate uptake of cervical cancer screening, triage strategies for women who screen positive with high-risk HPV, and adjunctive treatment to improve outcomes to cervical pre-cancer treatments. We will also provide opportunities for early-stage investigators to develop clinical research skills within CASCADE. We have administrative expertise and experience in operationalizing international clinical trials and supporting clinical research sites in the timely implementation of projects. Our highly experienced investigators and our proposed trials will be of substantial benefit to the CASCADE network and the shared goal of eliminating cervical cancer in WLWH.
