Comparisons of the Effects and Clinical Outcomes of CH2 Vaginal Gel Versus Placebo on CIN1

In Taiwan, Pap smear screen has been offered every year for women over 30 years old since 1995. The incidence of cervical invasive cancer decreased from 25/100,000 person in 1995 to 7.0/100,1000 person in 2016. In contrast, the incidence of pre-cancerous lesions increased gradually. According to ASCCP, observation and repeated cytology in 6-12 months is recommended in colposcopy-diagnosed CIN1 patients. Most of the low-grade lesions regressed spontaneously without treatment; 49 percent of CIN1 regressed to negative in six months, and 70 percent regressed in 12 months. Emerging evidence suggests associations between the composition of the vaginal microbiota (VMB), human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN). Previous research included 87 patients with untreated CIN2. It reported that patients with a Lactobacillus-dominant microbiome at baseline are more likely to have regressive disease at 12 months. Lactobacillus spp. depletion and presence of specific anaerobic taxa are associated with CIN2 persistence and slower regression. 82.9 percent of women with low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (LSIL) tested positive for HPV. CH2 vaginal gel is a marketed health product derived from natural ingredients, including water, probiotic glycerol, and plant extracts. Investigators have designed this trial to compare the following outcomes between participants who use and those who use placebo: 1. the regression rate of CIN1, 2. the time to regression of CIN1, and 3. the HPV clearance rate in participants.

Minimum age

20 Years

Inclusion Criteria:

* Female individuals aged 20 years (inclusive) or older who have abnormal Pap smear results and have been diagnosed with CIN1 via colposcopy biopsy, and are also positive for high-risk HPV. This includes:
* Patients with Pap smear results of CIN2, ASCUS, or CIN1 who have undergone colposcopic biopsy of suspicious lesions or random biopsies, with pathology confirming CIN1.
* Patients with Pap smear results of CIN1 who have undergone colposcopic biopsy of suspicious lesions or random biopsies, and where the biopsy sample is insufficient for diagnosis or the biopsy pathology is normal.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Female patients who are currently pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are underage.
* Patients with an allergy to the ingredients in CH2 Natural Purifying Protection Serum.
* Patients diagnosed with CIN2, CIN3, or higher through colposcopic biopsy.
* Patients with urinary tract or pelvic infections.
* Patients with significantly impaired cognitive function.
* Patients who are unable to self-administer vaginal gel.
* Patients with immunocompromised conditions, end-stage liver or kidney disease, those using steroids, or those who have previously undergone total hysterectomy.
