About this study

Official title: Botswana Combination Prevention Project: -Evaluation Protocol (Protocol #1): Research Design and Impact Evaluation -Closed Clinical Cohort Protocol (Protocol #3) Implementation, Monitoring and Evaluation of Combination HIV Prevention Interventions in Rural and Peri-Urban Communities in Botswana

The BCPP study is designed to test the hypothesis that implementing an enhanced combination prevention package which includes provision of ART to all participants, regardless of CD4 count or HIV disease severity, will impact the HIV/AIDS epidemic by significantly reducing population-level, cumulative HIV incidence in a defined geographic area over a period of 3 years and will be cost-effective.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Combination PreventionExperimental* Scale-up of HTC services during 2 annual HTC campaigns, with a target of >90% of adults having documentation of their HIV-infected status or documentation of an HIV-negative test in the preceding 12 months. * Scale-up of universal ART for all HIV-infected adults, with a target of >93% of HIV positive adults receiving ART. * Scale-up of retention in care and adherence interventions, with a target of ensuring that >95% of HIV-infected adults are virally suppressed with HIV-1 RNA <400 copies per ML.. * Scale-up of linkage to MC services, with a target of ensuring >60% of HIV-negative men are circumcised. * Rapid strengthening of PMTCT services, with a target of >90% of women initiated on indefinite ART (Option B+) during pregnancy remaining in care and on treatment at 12 months post-delivery.

What is being measured

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

  1. Population-level, cumulative HIV incidence

    Population-level cumulative HIV incidence will be measured in a cohort of HIV-negative persons identified from a 20% sample of eligible households in the 30 study communities followed annually.

    Measured: 3 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. 2. Population-level uptake of HIV testing and counseling (HTC), ART, VL Suppression, male circumcision (MC), and PMTCT services

    Population-level uptake of each intervention will be measured in an annual survey of the 20% sample of eligible households in the 30 study communities and through analysis of routine program monitoring data.

    Measured: 3 years

  2. Cost per additional infection averted

    Measured: 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Combination Prevention and Enhanced Care in people with HIV, run by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention at 1 site in Botswana.

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 2 inclusion and 1 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 14 Nov 2022. 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 Botswana. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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?

Population-level, cumulative HIV incidence (time frame: 3 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01965470, which also lists 36 linked publications.

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 14 Nov 2022.
