Brief summary

This study provided data on the performance of the Cobas® 4800 HPV Test for identifying histologically confirmed high-grade cervical disease. The baseline, cross-sectional phase was conducted in approximately 45,000 women undergoing routine cervical cancer screening, of whom approximately 7,400 were selected to undergo colposcopy and biopsy/endocervical curettage (ECC) at baseline. These subjects included women with cytology that is 'not normal' and a selection of those with 'normal' cytology who entered a follow-up phase and underwent cytological evaluation annually for 3 years. In this follow-up phase, colposcopy and biopsy/ECC were performed only in women with cervical cytology considered 'not normal' at any of the annual follow-up visits.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Percentage of Participants With a Diagnosis of ≥ CIN2Baseline to the end of the Baseline period (up to 12 weeks)A diagnosis of ≥ CIN2 (cervical intraepithelial neoplasia) included histology results of CIN2, CIN3, adenocarcinoma in situ, squamous cell carcinoma, or adenocarcinoma. The diagnosis was based on central pathology review.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Percentage of Participants With a Diagnosis of ≥ CIN3Baseline to the end of the study (up to 5 years, 1 month)A diagnosis of ≥ CIN3 (cervical intraepithelial neoplasia) included histology results of CIN3, adenocarcinoma in situ, squamous cell carcinoma, or adenocarcinoma. The diagnosis was based on central pathology review.
