There are about 849 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Uganda. The country of the clinical trial is determined by the location of where the clinical research is being studied. Most studies are often held in multiple locations & countries.
WiseMama is designed to improve our understanding of interventions that are feasible and effective in helping HIV-positive pregnant and postpartum women to maintain high adherence to antiretroviral medications. The study will involve: a) assessing the feasibility and acceptability of the use of an innovative pill container equipped with real-time electronic data monitoring capacity by HIV positive pregnant and postpartum women in Uganda; b) generating preliminary effectiveness data of a 2-step feedback intervention on retention in care, antiretroviral therapy adherence, and clinical outcomes (CD4 and HIV viral load (VL)); c) exploring patient and provider perspectives on barriers and facilitators to retention in care and adherence to antiretroviral therapy in our study population.
A two-arm, Phase 2/3 multicentre, open-label, randomised study evaluating safety and antiviral effect of current standard antiretroviral therapy compared to once daily integrase inhibitor administered with darunavir/ritonavir (DRV/r) in HIV-1 infected, virologically suppressed paediatric participants.
This trial aims to determine whether the early bactericidal activity of rifampicin given with faropenem or cefadroxil (each given with amoxicillin/clavulanic acid) is greater than the activity of rifampicin alone in patients with pulmonary TB. The trial will also investigate potential new biomarkers of sterilising activity.
The primary objective of the proposed phase I trial is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of DNA-HIV-PT123 and AIDSVAX®B/E combination regimen. Though both DNA-HIV-PT123 and AIDSVAX®B/E and the combination of the two vaccines have been evaluated in humans and have shown to be safe and well tolerated, this is the first time the combination regimen is being evaluated in HIV-1 uninfected African populations with and without S. mansoni. The secondary objective of the trial is to evaluate the effect of S. mansoni infection on the immunogenicity of the combination of DNA-HIV-PT123 and AIDSVAX® B/E vaccine regimen. Successful vaccination against most viruses requires efficient Th1 response. There is evidence that helminth infections skew the host immune system of human and animals to T-helper type 2 (Th2) and induce immunosuppression. Therefore, there is a potential that helminth infected populations may not generate the desired immune responses to vaccines designed to drive Th1-type and cytotoxic T-cell responses. Furthermore, the influence of helminth infections on the development of protective antibody responses remains unclear. Limited data in animal models suggests that worm infections reduced efficacy of vaccines. The proposed vaccine trial will generate safety, tolerability and immunogenicity data of a vaccination regimen with simultaneous administration of a candidate HIV DNA vaccine (DNA-HIV-PT123) and a gp120 protein vaccine (AIDSVAX®B/E). This will be the first HIV vaccine trial to prospectively evaluate the impact of the S. mansoni infection on safety and immune responses to HIV vaccines.
The purpose of this study is to test the safety and immunogenicity of MVA-BN-Filo and Ad26.ZEBOV administered as heterologous prime-boost vaccine regimens in healthy adult participants.
A randomised controlled clinical trial to assess the effect of intraoperative dexamethasone on the 24 hour post operative pain scores of adult patients in Mulago hospital undergoing mastectomies, laparotomies and thyroidectomies. The adverse effects of dexamethasone at this dose were also assessed for.
This study is primarily exploratory and is designed to both identify factors that may have affected participant adherence to study product in VOICE, and describe how sexual behaviors, such as anal sex, may have had an effect on product efficacy. As such there is no specific hypothesis that is being tested.
Phase Ib study in 90 healthy adults,18 years to 65 years of age, to evaluate the safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of the VRC-EBOADC069-00-VP (cAd3-EBO) and VRC-EBOADC076-00-VP (cAd3-EBOZ) investigational Ebola vaccines in Part 1 and boosting with the VRC-EBOMVA079-00-VP (MVA-EbolaZ) investigational Ebola vaccine in Part 2. Part 1: Randomizations to cAd3-EBO or cAd3-EBOZ at two different dose levels within Group 1 will include at least 60 volunteers who have never received an investigational Ebola vaccine. Randomizations to cAd3-EBO at two different dose levels within Group 2 may include up to 30 eligible participants who previously participated in the RV247 vaccine clinical trial and received the investigational VRC-EBODNA023-00-VP (Ebola DNA WT) vaccine. Part 2: Participants in Part 1 may receive a booster vaccination with the MVA-EbolaZ vaccine at the same dose level.
The study will be carried out to provide supportive clinical data on the feasibility, efficacy, safety, and PK of LPV based therapies in routine treatment setting and will be based on the existing LPV/r pellets which already represent a clear advantage in comparison with the liquid formulation.
People infected with HIV are at risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD). This study will evaluate the use of pitavastatin to reduce the risk of CVD in adults infected with HIV who are on antiretroviral therapy (ART). The REPRIEVE trial consists of two parallel identical protocols: - REPRIEVE (A5332) is funded by the NHLBI, with additional infrastructure support provided by the NIAID, and is conducted in U.S and select international sites (approximately 120 sites in 11 countries). - REPRIEVE (EU5332) is co-sponsored by NEAT ID and MGH, and is conducted at 13 sites in Spain.
