NCT ID: NCT02589678 Completed - High Risk for HIV Clinical Trials

Zambia SiVET MMR Tdap-IPV

SiVET

Start date: August 2015
Phase: Phase 1/Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

Participants will receive vaccination for measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) and tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis, and inactivated polio (Tdap-IPV). The study schedule design is to simulate a vaccine efficacy trial to see if single women can participate in studies that mimic actual HIV vaccine studies.

Interventional studies are often prospective and are specifically tailored to evaluate direct impacts of treatment or preventive measures on disease.

Observational studies are often retrospective and are used to assess potential causation in exposure-outcome relationships and therefore influence preventive methods.

Expanded access is a means by which manufacturers make investigational new drugs available, under certain circumstances, to treat a patient(s) with a serious disease or condition who cannot participate in a controlled clinical trial.

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.
