Showing trials for

  • Adaptive Intervention to Facilitate PrEP Uptake/Adherence Among Transgender Women

    open to eligible males ages 18 years and up

    "PrEP N' Shine" is a two-stage randomized controlled pilot trial which utilizes a behavioral intervention to optimize the uptake and adherence of Pre-exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) in Transgender women (TGW).

  • Digital Limited Interaction Efficacy Trial of LifeSkills Mobile to Reduce HIV Incidence in YTW

    open to eligible males ages 16-29

    The LifeSkills Mobile app will be evaluated in a randomized controlled trial (RCT) among 5,000 young transgender women (YTW), ages 16-29 in the United States (U.S.). Study findings will demonstrate if the intervention will reduce HIV incidence.

  • Couples-based Intervention for Transgender Women and Their Partners

    Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients

    This project seeks to test the efficacy of a couples-based HIV prevention program in large-scale randomized controlled trial (RCT) to reduce HIV risk among transgender woman and their partners. This project involves enrolling a racially diverse sample of transgender women and their partners and randomizing 50 couples to either the couples-based HIV prevention intervention or an enhanced standard of care (SOC) control condition. Couples will be followed quarterly over 12-months. Analysis of study outcomes will utilize both individual- and dyadic-level data. The primary outcome is a composite measure of risk for HIV transmission which encompasses validated behavioral indicators of HIV risk as well as biomedical confirmation of viral suppression and PrEP adherence.

  • Emtricitabine/Tenofovir Alafenamide Switch Study for Transgender Individuals for HIV Pre-exposure Prophylaxis

    Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients

    The purpose of this study is to evaluate Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) levels in transgender-identifying or gender non-binary individuals taking versus not taking gender affirming hormone therapy. Subjects who have previously taken F/TDF as PrEP will continue with a fixed dose combination of daily oral F/TAF substituting for F/TDF. Subjects will receive the iTAB text messaging adherence reminders to provide personalized, automated text messages to support and monitor adherence that will vary by participant choice until 12 weeks after switching medication. This study will enroll 60 individuals to take F/TAF as PrEP for 48 weeks.

  • Estradiol Therapy In Transgender Women to Research Interactions With HIV Therapy

    Sorry, not currently recruiting here

    Transgender women (TW) are a key population and priority for HIV treatment. More research is needed to develop evidence-based clinical guidance when it comes to choosing antiretroviral treatment (ART) regimens for TW on feminizing hormonal therapy (FHT). Concerns about ART interacting with FHT and decreasing its effectiveness can lead to decreased ART adherence and increased viral loads. The GET IT RiGHT trial aims to address concerns about drug-drug interactions (DDIs) between ART and FHT while providing access to hormonal therapy to TW living with HIV. Data suggest that access to FHT improves adherence to HIV treatment and decreases treatment interruptions. This is an open-label, non-randomized, 3-group trial of adult TW and other individuals identifying as female or transfeminine but with male sex assigned at birth living with HIV. Participants will be on ART at entry and receive study-supplied 17-β estradiol for FHT for 48 weeks. The primary objectives of the study are to 1) assess whether TW continue to achieve therapeutic concentrations of ART while receiving FHT for 48 weeks and 2) assess whether serum estradiol concentrations on FHT (across a range of estradiol doses) vary between boosted and un-boosted ART regimens.

  • Hormone Secretion in Transgender Males

    Sorry, not yet accepting patients

    Aim 1 utilizes prospective clinical studies in TGN to test the hypothesis that prolonged exogenous androgens alter menstrual cyclicity by inhibiting gonadotropin secretion, steroid hormone release, and ovulation. We will utilize a clinical trial of TRT to evaluate T suppression of ovarian follicle and hormone dynamics (Aim 1A) and LH pulsatility (Aim 1B).

  • Lenacapavir for HIV Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis in People Who Are at Risk for HIV Infection

    “Volunteer for research and contribute to discoveries that may improve health care for you, your family, and your community!”

    Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients

    The goal of this clinical study is to test how well the study drug, lenacapavir (LEN), works in preventing the risk of HIV.
