  • Child

Study population: The patient population intended for this study (study participants) consists of a minimum of 10 individuals, known to have previously tested positive for HIV antibodies, who are between 12 and 17 years of age. The patients should not be on HAART, however, the sponsor reserves the option to include a limited number of HAART patients for investigational purposes. The number of HAART patients enrolled will depend on the available pediatric HIV positive participant pool. HAART patients will be clearly identified and will be additional to the enrollment needed to meet the study objectives.

Who may be able to join

  • Must be at least 12 years of age and no older than 17 years of age.
  • Must be willing to sign (and be given) a copy of the written Information and Assent Form.
  • Must have a parent or guardian present to sign and receive a copy of the Informed Consent Form.
  • Must be able to provide one or two fingerstick blood samples.
  • Must be able to provide three tubes of blood by venipuncture from the arm or hand only.

Who cannot join

  • Have a life threatening illness (with the exception of HIV or AIDS).
  • Have a suppressed immune systems (i.e. transplant patients, individuals diagnosed with non-HIV immunosuppressive illness, etc.), as determined by interviewing the study participant or parent/legal guardian.

About this study

Official title: Clinical Sensitivity of the Clearview® COMPLETE HIV 1/2, PMA # BP050009 and the Clearview® HIV 1/2 STAT-PAK®, PMA #BP050010 in the 12 - 17 Year Old Pediatric Population

This study is to establish the clinical sensitivity of the Chembio Diagnostics Systems, Inc. Clearview COMPLETE HIV 1/2 Assay and Clearview HIV 1/2 Stat-Pak Assay (Clearview HIV tests) in pediatric subjects who are between 12 and 17 years of age. A minimum of ten (10) known HIV-positive participants will be tested.

Read the detailed description

In order to achieve the primary objective, clinical trials will be conducted to establish and confirm the sensitivity of the Clearview HIV 1/2 tests in the described pediatric population. Only HIV-1 will be included in the study.

The Clearview HIV tests can be used as a safe and effective screening method to aid in the diagnosis of infection with HIV 1/2 in the pediatric population aged between 12 and 17 years.

The secondary objectives of this study include demonstrating that:

  • The Clearview HIV tests detect HIV-1 antibodies in a variety of sample matrices: capillary (fingertip) whole blood, venous whole blood, plasma and serum.

What is being measured

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

  1. The Clearview HIV tests provide a 100% agreement with known HIV(+) status for all 10 eligible 12 to 17 year old individuals, at least one of whom will be age 12.

    Measured: 3-10 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The Clearview tests will be used in a representative clinical setting for the qualitative detection of antibodies to HIV-1 in fingerstick, venous whole blood, serum and plasma matrices.

    Measured: 3-10 days

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?

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?

The Clearview HIV tests provide a 100% agreement with known HIV(+) status for all 10 eligible 12 to 17 year old individuals, at least one of whom will be age 12. (time frame: 3-10 days). 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?
