About this study

Official title: A Study to Evaluate the Point-of-Care Use and Laboratory Investigational Testing of INSTI™ HIV-1 Antibody Test Kit in Volunteer Subjects at Risk for HIV Infection

Each year up to 22 million persons in the US are tested for HIV. Currently available "rapid" tests do not provide test results for at least 30 minutes from the collection of serum and plasma from the subject. Providing accurate test results in less than a minute would make it easier to make timely decisions about treatment and counselling.

This study will compare results of an experimental rapid test to existing standards to determine if the test can reliably and accurately diagnose HIV in less than one minute.

Read the detailed description

The primary objective is to determine if INSTI™ performed with finger-stick whole blood, venous whole blood, and plasma demonstrates at least 98.0% sensitivity and specificity compared to an FDA-approved HIV testing algorithm.

The study will have two parts. The first part of the study will be conducted in institutions where HIV testing is routinely performed and where HIV counseling is offered [i.e. point of care (POC) centers]. The second part of the study will be conducted in a central laboratory that routinely conducts laboratory-based HIV testing using an FDA-licensed HIV-1 ELISA and Western blot test.

Geographically diverse POCs will be selected in the USA. Approximately 15-20 POCs are planned. Approximately 2,500 subjects will participate in the study including 1,500 subjects with unknown HIV status and 1,000 seropositive subjects. Across these POC sites, voluntary testing of 1500 subjects with unknown HIV status is planned with at least 500 of these subjects being high risk. Samples will be obtained from consenting subjects in the voluntary testing population including high-risk and known HIV 1 seropositive individuals.

Each subject is to receive an INSTI™ on finger-stick blood and parallel HIV testing of EDTA-treated venous whole blood and plasma samples will be conducted at a central laboratory.

The results of INSTI™ will not be given to the subject. The subject will be given the results of the POC HIV test only, per their standard of care procedures. Subsequent subject care decisions will NOT be based on the results of INSTI™.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. INSTI™ performed with finger-stick whole blood, venous whole blood, and plasma demonstrates at least 98.0% sensitivity and specificity compared to an FDA-approved HIV testing algorithm

    Measured: <1 week

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The percentage of INSTI™ results that agree between finger-stick whole blood, venous whole blood, and plasma.

    Measured: < 1 week

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Behavioral counseling and HIV-1 Antibody Test Kit in people with HIV Infections, run by bioLytical Laboratories at 14 sites 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 4 inclusion and 2 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Jan 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 14 sites 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

INSTI™ performed with finger-stick whole blood, venous whole blood, and plasma demonstrates at least 98.0% sensitivity and specificity compared to an FDA-approved HIV testing algorithm (time frame: <1 week). 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 27 Jan 2021.
