Intention clinical trials

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.

NCT ID: NCT06150937 Active, not recruiting - HIV Testing Clinical Trials

HST for Female Sex Workers/Drug Users in Kazakhstan

AEGIDA

Start date: November 15, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The goal of this behavioral intervention clinical trial is to assess acceptability, feasibility, and preliminary efficacy of a 4-session intervention to increase consistent HIV testing and linkage to care and prevention among HIV uninfected (assessed via on-site testing) female sex workers who use drugs in Kazakhstan. The main question it aims to answer are: 1. is the intervention acceptable and feasible 2. do participants randomized to the intervention arm report: 1) past 3-month testing; 2) frequent testing (2+ test over 6 mos.); 3) linkage to HIV care and ART initiation, if positive, or intention to uptake PrEP, if negative, as compared with control arm participants. Secondary outcomes include incident, biologically-confirmed STIs and stigma-related factors. Follow-up period is six months. All participants will be HIV-negative upon study enrollment as assessed via rapid HIV test. Participants randomized to the intervention arm will be engaged in a 4-session intervention that offers training and education in HIV self-testing, peer education on HIV self-testing, internalized stigma coping and resistance via basic cognitive restructuring, and provision of HIV self-test kits and reminders every three months. Researchers will compare participants randomized to the intervention arm to participants randomized to the time- and attention-control arm to evaluate impact of the intervention on the outcomes described above.
