NCT02816879

Brief Summary

This clinical trial compares three anal cytology collection procedures (collected at a single visit) in men who have sex with men (MSM). It also compares two different tests for human papilloma virus, the virus that causes high grade anal dysplasia, which is thought to occur before anal cancer. This study may help doctors develop better screening for high-grade anal dysplasia in MSM in order to identify those who need to return for additional screening and treatment.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Accuracy of cytology specimens for Dacron swab compared to flocked nylon (NF) swab in predicting histology outcome

    Two contingency tables will contrast cytology classification (for each swab type) with anal intraepithelial neoplasia (AIN) diagnosis based upon high-resolution anoscopy (HRA) \& histology.

    Baseline

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Ability of APTIMA-HPV to predict risk for HG-AIN

    Baseline

  • Ability of Hybrid-capture 2 to predict risk for HG-AIN

    Baseline

  • Cost effectiveness analysis evaluating differences in survival, the cost of out-patient procedures & in-patient hospitalizations for invasive anal cancer.

    Up to 3 years
