About this trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether a Coriolus versicolor-based vaginal gel promotes regression of CIN1/CIN2 and facilitates HPV clearance in women aged 30-50 years diagnosed with CIN1 or CIN2 and HPV. In addition, the study will assess patient satisfaction, treatment compliance and characterize the vaginal microbiome.

The primary outcomes therefore is:

* the regression of the cervical dysplasia from baseline to the follow-up (6 months), which will be assessed through either liquid-based cytology and/or histopathology (biopsy). * HPV clearance from baseline to follow-up (6 months)

In this randomized controlled study, eligible participants will be randomized 1:1 into two groups:

1. Intervention group: Women (n=35) will apply a CV-based vaginal gel (Papilocare®) daily for 21 days for 3 months. Afterward, the gel should be used every other day for an additional 3 months. Every month includes a 7-day break due to menstruation (28 days cycle). 2. Control group; Women (n=35) will follow the conventional "wait and see" approach.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Histopathological CIN regression

From cervical biopsies from the already planned colposcopy examinations.

Time frame
6 months
2

Type specific HPV clearance

Additional HPV self-samples will be collected by the paticipants before initiation of the vaginal gel and after 6 months of treatment.

Time frame
6 months

Secondary outcomes

1

Patient compliance and satisfaction measures

Compliance and treatment satisfaction will be assessed using patient-reported questionnaires and outcomes is measured using a 5-point Likert scale (minimum value = 1, maximum value = 5), where higher scores indicate a better outcome.

Time frame
6 months
2

Characterizing the Vaginal Microbiome

A self-collected vaginal swab will be obtained before treatment initiation and again after six months of treatment.

Time frame
6 months
