Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia | Drug: Poly-gamma Glutamic Acid Drug: Placebo | Phase 2 |
This study is to compare the regression rate of Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia (CIN1) between the treatment group and the control group.
The treatment group will be administered with PGA (Poly-gamma Glutamic Acid) for 4 weeks followed by 8 weeks observation.
The control group will be observed for 12 weeks without any comparator.
