Efficacy and safety of an adsorbent and anti-oxidative vaginal gel on CIN1 and 2, on high-risk HPV, and on p16/Ki-67: a randomized controlled trial.


ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The effect of SAM vaginal gel, a medical device containing adsorptive silicon dioxide and antioxidative sodium selenite and citric acid, on histologically-proven cervical intraepithelial neoplasia type 2 (CIN2) as well as p16 positive CIN1, and on the presence of the onco-marker p16 was investigated.

Methods

216 women aged 25-60 years were randomized to either receive an intravaginal daily dose of SAM gel for three 28-day periods, or be followed-up without intervention. The primary endpoint was efficacy, defined as a combined histological and cytological regression. At baseline and after 3 months participants had: a guided biopsy including p16 immunohistochemical (IHC) staining, only if a lesion was visible at colposcopy; a cervical smear for cytology, high-risk human papillomavirus (hr-HPV) and a p16/Ki-67 test. At 6 months a further cytology and p16/Ki-67 test was performed.

Results

Regression of CIN lesions was observed in 78 out of 108 patients (72.2%) in the SAM gel arm and in 27 out of 108 patients (25.0%) in the control arm. Similarly, the change in the p16/Ki-67 cytological test status was significantly in favor of the treatment arm. The prevalence of hr-HPV decreased significantly (p < 0.001) in the treatment arm, from 87.0% to 39.8%, while it slightly increased in the control arm, from 78.7% to 83.3%. At 6 months the cytological regression in the treatment group and the highly significant effect on p16/Ki-67 was still present.

Conclusion

SAM vaginal gel enhances the regression of cervical lesions and clears hr-HPV and p16/Ki-67 in smears significantly, thus offering an active non-destructive management to prevent cervical cancer.
