Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Endpoint is histology outcome; i.e. presence or absence of *CIN2 lesions. The short-term risk of *CIN2 will be assessed as a function of E7 transcript and DNA methylation status. The sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values of mRNA testing and analysis of DNA promoter methylation for detection of *CIN2 lesions in hr-HPV positive women will be determined and compared to that of cytology. | — |
