CryoPen: An Innovative Treatment for Cervical Precancer in Low-Resource Settings
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating CryoPen, CO2 standard cryotherapy, and 1 other intervention for Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia. Completed, enrolled 130 participants across 2 sites in 2 countries.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to test two innovative devices, the CryoPen® and thermocoagulator, against gas-based cryotherapy to determine whether the novel devices produce equivalent or improved destruction of cervical tissue compared to gas-based cryotherapy. Tissue destruction with single freeze versus double freeze treatments with the CryoPen and gas-based cryotherapy will also be compared.
