 A Phase 3b, Randomized, Multicentre, Open-Label Study Evaluating the Efficacy, Safety, and Tolerability of Switching to Long-Acting Cabotegravir Plus Long-Acting Rilpivirine From Current Antiretroviral Regimen in HIV-1 Infected, Virological Suppressed Adults in Sub-Saharan Africa. (Cabotegravir And Rilpivirine: Efficacy and Safety Study: The CARES Study)
REFNo: HS1117ES

1.To demonstrate the non-inferior antiviral
activity of switching to IM RPV LA+CAB
LA administered every 2 months compared
with continuation of cART administered
daily over 12 months in HIV-1 infected
participants in a resource limited setting.
2.To demonstrate the antiviral and
immunologic activity of switching to IM
RPV LA+CAB LA every 2 months
compared to continuation of cART over 12
and 24 months of follow-up
3.To evaluate the safety and tolerability of
switching to RPV LA+CAB LA every 2
months compared to continuation of cART.
4.To assess viral resistance in participants
experiencing protocol-defined confirmed
virologic failure (plasma HIV-1 RNA ≥200
c/mL).
5.To assess the incidence of on-treatment
genotypic resistance to CAB, RPV and
other on-study cART up to Month 12 and
24.

 Evaluation of the household-level impact of a single round of intermittent preventive treatment of malaria in schoolchildren: A randomized study
REFNo: HS1123ES

1. To determine the impact of intermittent preventive treatment of malaria in schoolchildren on malaria transmission at the household, as measured by the prevalence of parasitaemia at the household level.
2.To determine the impact of intermittent preventive treatment of malaria in schoolchildren on the health of the children as measured by the prevalence of parasitaemia among the children.

An Investigation into the Impact on Social Inclusion of High Volume Transport (HVT) Corridors and Potential Solutions to Identifying and Preventing Human Trafficking
REFNo: SS704ES

1. To investigate the role played by HVT corridors in human trafficking in Uganda and Tanzania;
2. To explore some of the factors (primarily transport-related and regulatory) that are contributing to human trafficking along HVT corridors (roads);
3. To assess the level of awareness of human trafficking and its impacts among transport providers, the users of HVT corridors, and the communities through which these routes pass;
4. To identify and recommend pilot innovations that can help recognise and counter human trafficking along HVT corridors.
