Cervical Dysplasia or Human Papilloma Virus (HPV)

Have you recently had an abnormal pap test or been told that you have cervical HPV (human papillomavirus)? If so, you may qualify for an investigational study to evaluate an investigational gel applied intravaginally. The study lasts approximately 27 months and involves up to 16 clinic visits. Women 18-40 who are willing to be on an acceptable method of birth control, are of child-bearing potential, and have had a pap test finding of low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (LSIL) or atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASC-US) may qualify.

The research sites are located across the United States and Canada.
