SEARCH CAB LA Dynamic Choice HIV Prevention Study Extension
brief summary
The overall purpose of this SEARCH CAB-LA (Cabotegravir Injectable Suspension) randomized extension study is to determine if adding the option of CAB-LA as a prevention choice using a person-centered dynamic choice HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) prevention model, with option to switch products over time, compared to the standard of care: 1) increases prevention coverage; 2) reduces HIV incident infection; and 3) increases prevention coverage during periods of self-assessed risk of HIV infection, in three settings in rural Uganda and Kenya. In addition, this study will describe implementation of a person-centered model for dynamic choice HIV prevention including CAB-LA, using the RE-AIM (Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance) evaluation framework among persons randomized to the intervention arm.
detailed description
The SEARCH CAB-LA (Cabotegravir Injectable Suspension) dynamic choice HIV prevention study is a randomized extension study of a person-centered Dynamic Choice HIV Prevention model for delivering existing evidence-based biomedical prevention interventions vs. standard of care (SOC). The study is conducted in 3 settings in rural Western Uganda and Kenya: antenatal (ANC) clinics, the outpatient department (primary care clinics), and in community settings. Participants previously randomized to Dynamic Choice HIV Prevention or SOC are re-consented and remain in their initial randomized arm. During the extension, the Dynamic Choice HIV Prevention intervention offers participants choices of biomedical prevention product (oral Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP), oral post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP), or Cabotegravir Injectable Suspension (CAB-LA) on an ongoing basis with the option to switch products over time based on participant preference and perceived risk. The primary endpoint is proportion of time that is covered by a biomedical prevention product over 48 weeks; secondary endpoints are: i) incident HIV infection over 48 weeks; and, ii) proportion of time during which a participant reports risk of HIV infection that is covered by a biomedical prevention product over 48 weeks. Participants in the intervention arm only are reconsented at 48 weeks for implementation evaluation up to 96 weeks.
