 A prospective, multi-centre study to evaluate the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of the Determine Syphilis Advanced test.
REFNo: HS4648ES


The primary objective of this study is:
• To determine the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of the Determine Syphilis Advanced test results using fingerstick capillary whole blood, venous whole blood, serum and venous plasma, when the test is performed by professional users.

The reference test will be Elecsys® Syphilis test (Roche). This test is an electrochemiluminescence immunoassay for the qualitative determination of total antibodies against Treponema pallidum. Samples with a negative Elecsys Syphilis result will be considered reference test-negative. Samples with a positive Elecsys Syphilis result will be confirmed by Treponema Pallidum Particle Agglutination (TPPA) testing. The TPPA result must be positive for the sample to be considered reference test-positive. Samples with a positive Elecsys Syphilis result but a negative or indeterminate TPPA result will be considered indeterminate and excluded from the study analyses. Potential discrepant result resolution using the Abbott Architect i1000SR Syphilis chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay may be conducted for study reference test-positive or reference test-negative samples with discrepant investigational test results. The results from potential discrepant result resolution testing will be presented as table footnotes only. In addition to these treponemal tests, non-treponemal RPR testing will also be conducted for the reference test-positive participants, and the results may be stratified also by RPR status. All discrepant specimens shall be repeated using the same lot of RDT, and then on all available lots and any variability noted.

Another primary study objective is to compare the performance of the Determine Syphilis Advanced test with two commercially available similar tests, to meet the regulatory requirements in Japan. These two commercially available tests will be the TPPA test (SERODIA-TPPA, Fujirebio, Japan) and the Determine Syphilis TP test (Abbott). This analysis will be performed using 60 reference test-positive samples and 60 reference test-negative samples. The testing will be performed using plasma.

One study secondary objective is to evaluate the usability through completion of a user experience questionnaire (healthcare and laboratory staff).

Another study secondary objective is to determine the stability of venous whole blood, serum and plasma samples for use with Determine Syphilis Advanced, after refrigeration of the venous whole blood, serum and plasma at 2-8 degrees Celsius during 7 days before testing.

 Evaluation of the Pathways out of Poverty (POP) project in the Kitagwenda and Rakai districts of Uganda
REFNo: SS3052ES


1. Assessing the achievement of objectives: The evaluation aims to assess whether POP\'s objectives are achieved, including increasing household income to $2.25/day, reducing the average household Poverty Probability Index score to 22 or less, and ensuring that 60% of households feel their quality of life has improved within 24 months of each cohort\'s initiation.

2. Estimating causal impact: On priority outcomes for HWG - including grow and net household income, household asset endowment, coffee revenue and profits, best practice adoption and yield – the goal is to determine whether it is possible to establish causal inference on the effects of the program on these variables.

3. Conducting heterogeneous treatment effects analysis: The evaluation will analyze variances in the estimated treatment effect across different demographic groups, with a focus on geographic, economic, social and gender factors.

4. Understanding pathways of change: Core to HWG’s agenda is identifying which project components are vital for driving primary outcomes. The evaluation will aim to dissect the project’s multifaceted initiatives to delineate the most impactful pathways tied to changes in income and agricultural productivity.

5. Determining the importance of coffee: With HWG placing a strong emphasis on the role of coffee in household income, the evaluation will focus on measuring how coffee-centered interventions contribute to the broader project outcomes, tying coffee profit and revenue analyses to holistic changes in income.

6. Identifying unintended consequences: The evaluation should also scrutinize potential negative impacts on the environment, health, human rights, community dynamics, and gender equity, such as the effects of agrochemical use, deforestation, community conflicts, labor issues, and changes in household dynamics and resource control.

7. Suggesting operational improvements: Finally, the evaluation should provide actionable insights and recommendations during the implementation period, to increase the efficacy of POP.
