Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The PRIORITY study is a prospective, multicenter observational study designed to evaluate an integrated diagnostic model combining extended molecular self-sampling and digital colposcopy supported by telemedicine for the prioritization of women at risk of cervical cancer. The study aims to assess the diagnostic performance, concordance, and clinical utility of this integrated approach in real-world settings, as well as its impact on diagnostic timeliness and patient navigation across different levels of care. Participants will undergo standard-of-care evaluation, and data will be collected on molecular test results, colposcopic findings, diagnostic outcomes, and time intervals within the care pathway. No interventions are assigned as part of the study protocol. The findings are expected to inform scalable strategies to improve early detection and optimize diagnostic pathways for cervical cancer, particularly in settings with structural and geographic barriers to timely care.

Arms (0)
[]Primary outcomes (1)
- measure
- Diagnostic accuracy of the integrated molecular and digital model for detection of CIN2+
- timeFrame
- Up to 6 months
- description
- Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of the combined strategy including extended molecular self-sampling, clinician-collected sampling, and digital colposcopy for detecting histologically confirmed cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2 or worse (CIN2+). Measure reported: sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV).
Secondary outcomes (5)
- measure
- Concordance between self-collected and clinician-collected samples for high-risk HPV and extended molecular panel detection
- timeFrame
- Baseline
- description
- Agreement between vaginal self-sampling and clinician-collected cervical samples for detection of high-risk HPV genotypes and extended molecular findings, assessed using Cohen's kappa and percent agreement. Measure reported: Cohen's kappa coefficient and percent agreement.
