About this study

Official title: Preliminary Situational Analysis of a Pilot Rehabilitation Intervention Based on Physical Exercise for People Living With HIV in Ivory Coast

The goal of this study is to document the impairment, functional and activity limitation and disability associated with HIV infection in an African urban context.

It will combine quantitative and a qualitative methods.

Read more

The quantitative evaluation will include 300 adults living with HIV of age ≥40 years receiving antiretroviral therapy and followed at the infectious disease department (SMIT), CHU de Treichville, Abidjan, and 200 adults without HIV infection of similar age and sex (control group). This cross-sectional evaluation will combine clinical, functional and cognitive evaluations and questionnaire on disability, depression and physical activity.

The qualitative research will be based on semi-directed interviews and will examine disability perception and biographic reconstruction.

Read the detailed description

Background With the scale up of antiretroviral therapy (ART), people living with HIV (PLWHIV) life expectancy has increased dramatically over the last decades and HIV has become a chronic disease. However, the long-term infection with HIV is often associated with a number of health related challenges responsible of impairments and functional limitations. To achieve the ambitious objective that most of the PLWHIV receive ART and have a good quality of life, it is therefore necessary to address the HIV-related disability.

Objectives This research aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the frequency and nature of the impairments and functional limitation occurring in PLWHIV, and of their impact on participants lives. It will also assess the level of physical activity and the acceptability of an intervention based on physical activity.

It will adopt a multidisciplinary approach, which will combine objective and subjective measurements of disability including bio-clinical data, epidemiological data and qualitative data reflecting PLWHIV's perspective. It will also include an evaluation of the a priori acceptability of using physical exercise with PLWHIV.

Three dimensions of disability will be considered in the analysis: 1) impairment and morbidities (neurological, motor and cognitive), 2) activities (or functional) limitations, 3) social participation restrictions. The evaluation of acceptability will cover perceived relevance, adequacy, perceived efficacy and easiness of use of the intervention.

Design and methods The quantitative evaluation will include 300 PLWHIV receiving ART and followed at the infectious disease department (SMIT), CHU de Treichville, Abidjan. A control group of HV uninfected adults will also be included (n = 150). This cross-sectional evaluation will combine clinical, functional and cognitive evaluations and questionnaire on disability (WHODAS, HDQ), depression (PHQ-9) and physical exercise acceptability.

The qualitative component will include around twenty PLWHIV. Participants will be selected to reflect the diversity of the population living with HIV (regarding sex, age, family situation). The qualitative research will be based on semi-directed interviews and will examine disability perception, biographic reconstruction after the onset of impairment and the acceptability of physical exercise.

Quantitative and qualitative researches will be integrated using an explanatory sequential design. The quantitative results will be used to the qualitative research questions sampling and design. In addition, results of the two components regarding the social participation and the perception and attitude toward physical activity will be integrated.

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 3 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 8 Feb 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Côte d’Ivoire. 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?

Functional capacity (time frame: Baseline). 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 NCT05199831, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 8 Feb 2023.
