Trial Information

A Phase III Randomized Trial of Topical Vaginal Fluorouracil (5-Fluorouracil, 5-FU) Maintenance Therapy Versus Observation After Standard Treatment for High-Grade Cervical Dysplasia in HIV-Infected Women


Women with HIV infection are at greater risk for cervical dysplasia. Because of the
likelihood that untreated or recurrent cervical dysplasia may progress to invasive cancer,
there is an urgent need to develop appropriate therapies.

Patients are randomized to receive either intravaginal fluorouracil or no treatment
(observation only). Fluorouracil cream is self-administered via applicator at biweekly
intervals for 6 months. Patients are evaluated for recurrent cervical dysplasia by cytology
and colposcopy with or without biopsy.

Inclusion Criteria

- Contraceptives.

- Acyclovir (prophylaxis or treatment) in patients with a history of primary or
recurrent genital herpes.

Patients must have:

- HIV infection.

- Prior cervical dysplasia (grade II or III cervical intraepithelial neoplasia)
successfully treated with an ablative procedure within the past 12 weeks.
