Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: A - papilocare alternative days
Arm A: scheme A (21 days / 1 cannula per day + 7 days rest) x 1 month + alternate days up to 6 months (except for menstruation days)
|
Device: Papilocare vaginal gel
Papilocare is a gel vaginally administered by a single-dose cannula. Vaginal gel formulation is effective as a local treatment with controlled systemic absorption and rapid and efficient distribution |
Experimental: B - papilocare semiintensive
Arm B: scheme B (21 days / 1 cannula per day + 7 days rest) x 3 months + alternate days up to 6 months (except menstruation days)
|
Device: Papilocare vaginal gel
Papilocare is a gel vaginally administered by a single-dose cannula. Vaginal gel formulation is effective as a local treatment with controlled systemic absorption and rapid and efficient distribution |
No Intervention: C - standard of care
Arm C: usual clinical practice: no treatment

- Repairment of the cervico-vaginal mucosa in positive HPV women measured by normal cytology with concordant colposcopy image [ Time Frame: 6 months ]Evaluate the repairment of the cervico-vaginal mucosa in positive HPV women with a cytological result of squamous atypia of undetermined significance (ASC-US) or low-grade squamous lesion (LSIL) or glandular atypia of undetermined significance (AG-US), with concordant colposcopic image, 6 months after the start of treatment.
- Repairment of the cervico-vaginal mucosa in positive HPV women measured by normal cytology with concordant colposcopy image [ Time Frame: 3 and 12 months ]Evaluate the repairment of the cervico-vaginal mucosa in positive HPV women with a cytological result of squamous atypia of undetermined significance (ASC-US) or low-grade squamous lesion (LSIL) or glandular atypia of undetermined significance (AG-US), with concordant colposcopic image at 3 and 12 months after the start of treatment.
- Reeptielization of the cervico-vaginal mucosa measured by a likert scale. [ Time Frame: 3,6 and 12 months ]Evaluate the reeptielization of the cervico-vaginal mucosa months after the start of treatment measured by likert scale, using a total of 5 points (1 is severe ectopy + external bleeding, 2 is severe or extensive ectopy:> 50%, 3 is moderate ectopy: 25-50%, 4 is mild ectopy: <25% and 5 is no ectopy).
- Vaginal health status measured by Bachmann Index. [ Time Frame: 3,6 and 12 months ]Evaluate vaginal health status from the start of treatment measured by Bachmann Index, it contains 5 domains that evaluate elasticity, type of secretion, pH, epithelial integrity and moisture, scoring each of them from 1 to 5, considering the maximum score as the best vaginal health status.
- Satisfaction of papilocare gel use measured by likert scale. [ Time Frame: 3 and 6 months ]Evaluate the satisfaction of papilocare gel use by the patients after the start of treatment measured by likert scale, it is a single-item instrument that assesses the degree of satisfaction experienced by the patient with a graded response of 7 values ranging from 1 (satisfied) to 7 (not satisfied at all).
- Therapeutic compliance [ Time Frame: 3 and 6 months ]Evaluate the therapeutic compliance from the start of treatment
