Project Engage: Oral PrEP Acceptability

Status Active, not recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

This study is a two-arm open label acceptability study that will examine acceptability of, and adherence to, once daily dosing regimen of F/TDF (Truvada) and an investigational once daily dosing regimen of F/TAF (Descovy) under standard of care counselling. The study will recruit approximately 330 healthy, HIV negative, AGYW in up to three sites in Africa. Eligible participants will be randomized 1:1 to receive F/TAF 200 mg/25 mg or F/TDF 200 mg/300 mg for once daily oral administration for 24 weeks. Study visits will take place according to standard of care at month 1, month 3 and month 6. Acceptability and adherence will be assessed by questionnaires and DBS at months 3 and 6; questionnaires will assess acceptability of product attributes; perceived pill side effects; ease of pill-taking and reasons for missed pills, and future interest in PrEP use beyond the trial context. Exit interviews at the final visit and additional qualitative interviews and focus group discussions with a subset of participants as well as other key stakeholders will further inform potential differences in acceptability and adherence between the two products. Data collection will also focus on gathering insights and input from participants that will aid uptake and continuation and inform future programming of oral PrEP.
