About this study

This is an observational study involving retrospective and prospective medical record review covering a total maximum of 104 weeks (24 months) per subject. An Audio Computer- Assisted Self-Interview (ACASI) at study entry will assess demographic and psychosocial variables of study subjects. Data will also be collected to assess clinic level variables. Definitions of engagement, prescription of antiretroviral therapy (ART), and viral suppression in the Continuum of Care (CoC) will utilize common definitions including those by U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) and Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) HIV/AIDS Bureau (HAB). Data will be collected in a large, simple trial design manner to provide all elements for both the primary and secondary outcomes.

Read the detailed description

This is an observational study involving retrospective and prospective medical record review covering a total maximum of 104 weeks (24 months) per subject. Behavioral data will be collected via ACASI at study entry to assess demographic and psychosocial variables of study subjects. All other data (biomedical, ART, healthcare utilization) at subsequent study visits will be collected via medical record abstraction. Information about missed visits as well as other healthcare utilization data can be abstracted from electronic appointment systems or other electronic systems at the clinical sites. Subject data will be abstracted from medical records for up to a maximum 26 weeks prior to the baseline study visit, as well as up to a maximum 78 weeks after the baseline study visit or through January 31, 2017, whichever occurs first, for a total maximum of 104 weeks or two years per subject. Data will also be collected from each Adolescent Medicine Trials Unit to assess clinic level variables at baseline (within 30 days of protocol registration) and 48 and 96 weeks after baseline. Definitions of engagement, prescription of antiretroviral therapy (ART), and viral suppression in the Continuum of Care (CoC) will utilize common definitions including those by U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) and Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) HIV/AIDS Bureau (HAB). Data will be collected in a large, simple trial design manner to provide all elements for both the primary and secondary outcomes.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of HIV, run by University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill 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 18 inclusion and 4 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 28 Feb 2017. 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.

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 proportion of subjects engaged in care at Baseline, per subject year, as defined by the HRSA HAB measure (time frame: Baseline). The study lists 16 primary outcomes in all. 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 28 Feb 2017.
