Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
5% iodine solution will be applied to the cervix using a delivery device in a single outpatient treatment. Half of the recipients will have active treatment (iodine) and the other half placebo (saline Sodium Chloride injection 0.9% BP (90mg in 10mL) administered via the medical delivery device. The first 20 participants will receive the treatment for 10 minutes, the next 20 participants enrolled will receive the treatment for 15 minutes, and the final 20 participants will receive the treatment for 20 minutes. The treatment duration is only increased if a therapeutic response has not been demonstrated at an earlier time interval.. The treatment is to be administered by a gynaecologist in a hospital outpatient clinic. The treating gynaecologist determines the volume of iodine administered based on the size of the cervix, between 10ml and 30ml, The amount of iodine absorbed by each individual patient will depend on the size of the patients cervix and the patients individual diffusion rate for iodine. Assuming a 4-cm2 area saturated to a depth of 0.1mm the amount of iodine would be 0.002g. The delivery device consists of a tube with a balloon to be inserted into the endocervix. The balloon is then inflated to prevent solution entering the uterus and the solution is then delivered to the endocervix. A sponge saturated with additional iodine within a silicon cup is then applied to the outer cervix. Patients will be reminded of follow up appointments.

Efficacy
Statistical methods / analysis
The study is a placebo controlled proof of concept study and based on work by Ho Y, Bierman R, Beardsley L, Chang C, Burk R. Natural history of cervicovaginal papillomavirus infection in young women. N Engl J Med. 1998; 336:423-8. Up to 60 women will be recruited and allow for a 20% drop out rate. The 10 patients in each group will be used to determine a treatment effect + standard deviation. This data will then be used to determine the number of patients that need to be treated to show an effect at a power (1) of at least 80% and < 0.05, provided the treatment has been found to be acceptable within the preceding treatment time interval. It is estimated there will be 20 patients in each treatment time group (10 active, 10 placebo). Data analysis will be with simple proportions using chi square analysis.
