Brief summary
This study evaluates the efficacy and safety of ALA-PDT versus LEEP in treating cervical HSIL/CIN2, aiming to demonstrate non-inferiority in clinical efficacy.
Detailed description
This study aims to conduct a multicenter, prospective, concurrent non-controlled clinical trial to evaluate the clinical efficacy of 5-aminolevulinic acid photodynamic therapy (ALA-PDT) compared with loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) in patients with high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL/CIN2), using a non-inferiority design. The primary objective is to demonstrate that ALA-PDT is non-inferior to LEEP with respect to key efficacy endpoints. Furthermore, the safety profiles, cervical tissue regeneration outcomes, and long-term prognoses of both treatment modalities will be comprehensively assessed. The results are anticipated to provide robust clinical evidence supporting ALA-PDT as a safer, less invasive, and function-preserving alternative for the management of HSIL/CIN2.
Interventions
Apply 20% ALA gel for 3 hours, followed by red light irradiation, repeated every 7-14 days for a total of 6-9 sessions.
After anesthesia, cervical iodine staining was performed, followed by LEEP.
