About this study

Official title: Cognitive Behavioral Adherence Intervention for Depressed HIV Patients

This study will compare the effectiveness of a cognitive behavioral intervention versus usual clinic care in helping HIV infected adults with depression to take their HIV medications on schedule.

Read the detailed description

Antiretroviral therapy (ART) is a type of medication treatment for HIV that impairs the virus's ability to multiply. When used properly, it has been shown to be successful in reducing HIV-related deaths. A high adherence rate to ART is required to adequately suppress the virus, limit drug resistance, and reduce transmission. HIV infected people who are depressed often experience increased difficulty with adhering to their ART regimen. This study will compare the effectiveness of a cognitive behavioral intervention that targets both depression and adherence versus usual care practices which may or may not include mental health intervention with the goal of improving ART adherence among HIV infected adults with depression who are experiencing difficulty with adhering to their medication regimen.

This study will last 24 weeks. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive the cognitive behavioral intervention or usual care. Study visits for all participants will occur at baseline and Weeks 4, 8, 16, and 24. Those receiving the intervention will also have visits at Weeks 1 and 2. Participants receiving the intervention will attend five individual treatment sessions followed by one to three booster treatment sessions; these sessions will coincide with the study visits.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in people with Depression and HIV Infection, run by RAND at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Jun 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Inability to recruit enough eligible participants at study site.). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Microelectronic medication adherence (time frame: Measured at Weeks 16 and 24). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 21 Jun 2013.
