Check it: A New Approach to Controlling Chlamydia Transmission in Young

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This study, named "Check it," is a bundled program for African American (AA) men ages 15-24 that includes community testing for chlamydia and gonorrhea, expedited treatment for subjects who test positive and their female sexual contacts, and rescreening for these two sexually transmitted infections.

Clinical Trial Description

Participants (N=4854) will be recruited through community partners, at events and using social marketing campaigns including advertisements, referrals from other participants, social media, and a web based educational website (Web-Ed). After establishing eligibility, written informed consent will be obtained. Subjects will complete a survey and provide a urine specimen for chlamydia (Ct) and gonorrhea (GC) testing and will provide their preferred contact information in order to be contacted about their test results. The testing laboratory will report positive results per LA hygiene code LAC 51:II.105: http://ldh.la.gov/assets/oph/Center-PHCH/Center-CH/infectious-epi/Surveillance/sanitarycode.p df. Tulane study staff will contact participants to inform them of their results. If the participant tests positive for Ct and/or GC, the subject will be offered expedited treatment for the subject and the subject's recent sex partners. The subject may choose to pick up medication at a local pharmacy or medication can be mailed to the subject. Staff will also ask the participant to contact his partner(s) and provide them with the Check It staff's contact information so that staff can let the partner know that they have been exposed to an infection and offer the subject's sexual partner expedited treatment options if the participant did not already provide the subject's sexual partners with that information. No information provided by the participant will be shared with his partners. The study will cover the cost of the medications for subjects who test positive for either or both organisms and their sexual partners. Three months after treatment, male subjects who were positive will be asked to be re-screened and if positive, staff will conduct similar expedited treatment and partner services. Any subject who provides consent for annual testing reminders will be reminded using their preferred method of contact. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
