Not yet recruiting This study
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
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 Results may not be published yet.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

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.

Summary

This study tests whether adding a remote nurse via telehealth to pharmacy-based PrEP/PEP services helps more people start and continue HIV prevention. About 1,580 pharmacy clients in Kenya will either get standard pharmacy care or extra telehealth support with SMS reminders. The goal is to see if the telehealth approach increases medication use and is cost-effective.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Telehealth support (remote nurse counseling and SMS) alongside pharmacy-dispensed PrEP/PEP
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that telehealth support makes HIV prevention medications more accessible and easier to stick with, potentially reducing new HIV infections.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage implementation study, not a drug trial. Results may vary by pharmacy setting, and the added cost of telehealth may not be sustainable or effective everywhere.

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Expected to start

Oct 2026

An estimate. Start dates often move.

Expected to finish

Sep 2028

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.
