An observational study in Cervical Cancer Screening, sponsored by Peking Union Medical College Hospital. Enrolling by invitation at 1 site in China. Open to female participants aged 18 Years to 70 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-11-05.
Sponsored by Peking Union Medical College Hospital · Observational
This is a prospective, single-center, observational cohort study that plans to enroll 100 women aged 18 years or older with histologically confirmed cervical cancer who are scheduled to receive radical surgery, radiotherapy, or systemic therapy. The study aims to establish and validate a low-depth cfDNA fragmentomics approach-including tumor fraction, fragment length distribution, and copy number variation-together with cfHPV-DNA testing for monitoring recurrence risk and predicting treatment response. Serial blood samples (10 mL per collection) will be obtained before initial treatment, 1-4 weeks after standardized treatment, at 3 and 6 months, and every 3 months thereafter until 2 years after treatment completion or until an endpoint event; fresh or paraffin-embedded tumor tissue will also be collected for whole-exome sequencing and multi-omics analysis. The study will not alter participants' routine clinical treatment. Research-related risks are mainly blood draw-related discomfort, bleeding, or bruising; risks from standard radiotherapy, chemotherapy, or immunotherapy are part of routine clinical care and are not introduced by this observational study. Privacy and confidentiality risks will be minimized through informed consent, secure data storage, restricted database access, and confidential handling of records. cfDNA testing will be provided free of charge, and appropriate compensation may be provided based on participation and time commitment. The study is funded by 3D Medicines (Shanghai) Co., Ltd.; conflict-of-interest, data/sample-sharing, and intellectual property arrangements will be disclosed and managed according to institutional requirements.
2,366 studies on the registry are indexed under Uterine Cervical Neoplasms; 677 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 100 is below the median of 225 across 529 observational studies indexed under Uterine Cervical Neoplasms.

This single-center prospective observational cohort will enroll 100 adult women aged ≥18 years with histologically confirmed cervical cancer (including squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, and other subtypes) who are planned to receive radical treatment with surgery, radiotherapy, and/or systemic therapy and who can provide complete clinical and follow-up data. Participants will undergo serial blood and tumor tissue collection before and after standard treatment for low-depth cfDNA fragmentomics and cfHPV-DNA analysis. Patients with a history of other malignancies (except cured skin basal cell carcinoma), severe hepatic/renal insufficiency, coagulation disorders, active infection, pregnancy or breastfeeding, inability to cooperate with follow-up or sample collection, or prior systemic therapy for cervical cancer (except neoadjuvant therapy) will be excluded. Routine clinical treatment is not altered.

Exclusion Criteria:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
The diagnosis was confirmed by looking at a sample under a microscope: tissue from a biopsy or surgery (histology), or cells from a fluid or needle sample (cytology).
Your pathology report is the document that shows this.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.
Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.
Neoadjuvant treatment is given before the main treatment (usually surgery), often to shrink a tumour. Adjuvant treatment is given after it, to lower the chance of the cancer coming back.

Observational study; no therapeutic intervention. Study procedures include serial peripheral blood collection (10 mL per time point) before initial treatment, 1-4 weeks after standardized treatment, at 3 and 6 months, then every 3 months until 2 years after treatment or an endpoint event, and collection of fresh or paraffin-embedded tumor tissue. Samples will undergo low-depth cfDNA fragmentomics analysis (tumor fraction, fragment length distribution, copy number variation), cfHPV-DNA testing, whole-exome sequencing, and multi-omics analysis. Routine clinical treatment is unchanged. The main research-related risk is blood draw-related discomfort, bleeding, or bruising.
Objective response rate
Time frame: From initiation of primary treatment through 2 years after completion of treatment or until an endpoint event (recurrence, progression, or death), whichever occurs first; final analysis at study completion.
Started Jan 2026 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Oct 2027, 21 months after the start.
Of 189 non-industry observational studies under Uterine Cervical Neoplasms, half reached primary completion within 58 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 27 and three quarters within 158. This study's planned 21 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 213 studies reached it within 58 months; a quarter within 28 and three quarters within 158.
