Emergency Room HPV Self-Sampling Study (ACT NOW)
NCT06178549 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The goal of this study is to develop and evaluate an evidence-based public health intervention using HPV self-sampling approach in an opportunistic setting to increase cervical cancer screening among screening non-attendees, particularly those uninsured or underinsured, who use emergency services to access medical care. The proposed pilot study will examine the feasibility and efficacy of HPV self-sampling among women at a safety net hospital emergency room. Participant recruitment and self-sample will take place in the waiting rooms in the ER. All women sitting in the waiting room will serve as the source population for the study and will be approached and invited to participate in the study.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT06178549
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT06178549 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 100 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Baylor College of Medicine, which has 678 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Cervical Cancer Screening appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which HPV Self-Sampling is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT06178549 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Texas. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll. Verify current status, eligibility criteria, and contact details directly at ClinicalTrials.gov, and discuss any participation decision with your own healthcare provider.
