NCT ID NCT07750834

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
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 trial tests whether a structured, pharmacist-led medication management program can help HIV patients at high risk of drug-related problems take their medications more consistently. Participants are randomly assigned to usual care, a basic program, or an enhanced program with extra support like pill organizers and home visits. The study tracks adherence, viral load, and quality of life over 24 months to see if the extra support makes a meaningful difference.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Pharmacist-led Medication Therapy Management (MTM) program
What this could lead to
If effective, this program could become a standard approach to help HIV patients stick to their medications, potentially improving viral suppression and quality of life in resource-limited settings.
What could go wrong
The trial is early and the outcome depends on patient engagement and healthcare infrastructure. Results may not generalize beyond this specific setting, and the added pharmacist time may not prove cost-effective.
