Are clinics missing advanced HIV cases? a new study investigates

NCT ID NCT07760324

Knowledge-focused Sponsor: Centre for Infectious Disease Research in Zambia Source: ClinicalTrials.gov ↗

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused This study
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study looks at how often CD4 cell counts are measured when adults in Zambia begin or restart antiretroviral therapy (ART) after a long break. The goal is to see how many people have advanced HIV disease and whether low testing rates prevent proper care. Researchers will assess participants' health stage, CD4 count, and treatment history, along with barriers to testing and care.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could improve how clinics identify and manage people with advanced HIV, potentially reducing complications and deaths.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, so it won't test a new treatment. Findings may not apply beyond the specific clinics and population studied.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

Who is studied

This study is part of a multi-regional IeDEA study across four African regions to assess the burden of advanced HIV disease among PLWH at ART initiation and re-initiation. Among adults and adolescents. The WHO defines advanced HIV disease as having a CD4 cell count \<200 cells/uL or having WHO stage 3 or 4 disease. In the region, we aim to enrol 500 participants aged 18 years and older and we will conduct a cross-sectional evaluation that will include assessments of WHO clinical stage, CD4 cell count, and ART exposure status at enrolment/re-enrolment into care, as well as barriers to HIV testing and care.

Ages

18 to 99 years

Anyone
