There are about 3576 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in South Africa. 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.
This is a prospective, adaptive, randomized controlled trial comparing the effectiveness of 4 intervention arms on a combined endpoint in adults with confirmed MDR-TB HIV initiating Bedaquiline-containing MDR-TB treatment regimens and on ART (integrase strand transfer inhibitor (INSTI)-based fixed dose combination therapy) in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Interventions arms include: enhanced standard of care; psychosocial support; mHealth using cellular-enabled electronic dose monitoring; combined mHealth psychosocial support. Level of support will be adjusted using a differentiated service delivery (DSD)- informed assessment of treatment support needs.
Randomised trial comparing the efficacy and feasibility of using a sterile closing pack to reduce postpartum sepsis
The primary objectives of this study are to evaluate the safety and tolerability of a switch to Doravirine/Islatravir (DOR/ISL) compared with continued baseline antiretroviral therapy (ART), through Week 48; and to evaluate the antiretroviral activity of a switch to DOR/ISL compared with continued baseline ART at Week 48. The primary hypothesis is that DOR/ISL is non-inferior to continued baseline ART, as assessed by the percentage of participants with HIV-1 ribonucleic acid (RNA) ≥50 copies/mL at Week 48, with a margin of 4 percentage points used to define non-inferiority.
A5406 hypothesizes that dolutegravir (DTG) 50 mg taken twice daily will provide adequate exposures to maintain viral suppression when dosed with rifapentine (RPT) 1200 mg for HIV-associated TB.
The aim of this first time in human proof of concept (FTiH-PoC) study is to evaluate safety and reactogenicity, to demonstrate efficacy and to explore immunogenicity of GlaxoSmithKline's (GSK) Neisseria gonorrhoeae generalized modules for membrane antigens (GMMA) (NgG) investigational vaccine compared to placebo (saline).
A randomised, open label, controlled PK standard of care vs doravirine plus 2 nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors backbone in pregnant women initiating combination antiretroviral therapy in the second trimester of pregnancy.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate whether bemnifosbuvir (BEM) is effective and safe in adults with COVID-19 who do not need to be in the hospital but who are at high risk for progression to severe disease. Eligible subjects will be randomly assigned (by chance) to receive BEM or matching placebo orally for 5 days. Co-administration of locally available standard of care (SOC) is allowed. The total duration of the study is 60 days.
CS5_3 aims to evaluate the tolerance and to adjust the mode of administration of 4 different conditions of cryotherapy treatments applied on the brown spots of the face and hands with 3 prototypes. A brown spot is defined as solar or senile lentigo and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). Each treatment corresponds to a combination of a specific sequence of a cryogenic spray and of a frequency of application. The study will evaluate 3 prototypes : - Prototype 1 : SN from (816-v1 001) to (816-v1 100) - Prototype 2 : SN from (816-v1 101) to (816-v1 150) - Prototype 3 : SN from (816-v1 151) to (816-v1 200) Prototypes will be applied on the face and hands according to specific frequencies of application.
Pregnant women in South Africa (SA) are at high risk of HIV acquisition. Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) use during pregnancy is both safe and effective in preventing HIV. However, posttraumatic stress (associated with intimate partner violence and/or other traumas) and depression negatively impact PrEP adherence among women in SA. Addressing posttraumatic stress and depression will likely improve PrEP adherence and persistence (i.e., sustained PrEP adherence over time) during pregnancy and breastfeeding, which are periods of dramatically increased HIV risk. The overarching goal of this proposal is to develop and test the feasibility and acceptability of a cognitive behavioral intervention that targets common underlying factors of posttraumatic stress and depression to improve PrEP adherence and persistence during pregnancy and the postpartum transition. The specific aims of the project are to (1) explore the mechanisms by which posttraumatic stress and depression impact PrEP adherence and persistence during pregnancy via qualitative interviews; (2) develop a brief PrEP adherence and persistence intervention (~4 sessions) that reduces the negative impact of psychological mechanisms common to posttraumatic stress and depression on PrEP use, and builds behavioral skills to improve self-care; and (3) evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and signals of preliminary efficacy of the intervention, which will be integrated into antenatal care, in a pilot randomized controlled trial. All data will be collected in the Midwife Obstetrics Unit (MOU) in Gugulethu, a peri-urban settlement and former township community outside of Cape Town, SA.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of nemtabrutinib compared to investigator's choice of fludarabine plus cyclophosphamide plus rituximab (FCR) or bendamustine plus rituximab (BR) in participants with previously untreated CLL/SLL without 17p deletion and/or tumor protein (TP) 53 mutation. The primary hypothesis is that nemtabrutinib is superior to FCR/BR with respect to progression-free survival (PFS).
