A PHASE III, RANDOMIZED, DOUBLE-BLIND, PLACEBO-CONTROLLED CLINICAL TRIAL TO EVALUATE THE EFFICACY AND SAFETY OF ADJUVANT ATEZOLIZUMAB OR PLACEBO AND TRASTUZUMAB EMTANSINE FOR HER2-POSITIVE BREAST CANCER AT HIGH RISK OF RECURRENCE FOLLOWING PREOPERATIVE THERAPY
REFNo: HS2173ES
8. To validate the ability of fertility biomarkers to diagnose and predict permanent loss of ovarian function, and to determine the impact of anti-cancer therapy on hormone levels,7. To evaluate health status utility scores of patients treated with atezolizumab when given in combination with trastuzumab emtansine compared with placebo and trastuzumab emtansine,6. To identify and/or evaluate biomarkers that are predictive of response to atezolizumab and trastuzumab emtansine (i.e., predictive biomarkers), are early surrogates of efficacy, are associated with progression to a more severe disease state (i.e., prognostic biomarkers), are associated with acquired resistance to atezolizumab and trastuzumab emtansine, are associated with susceptibility to developing adverse events or can lead to improved adverse event monitoring or investigation (i.e., safety biomarkers), can provide evidence of atezolizumab and trastuzumab emtansine activity (i.e., pharmacodynamic biomarkers), or can increase the knowledge and understanding of disease biology and drug safety,5. To evaluate the immune response to atezolizumab and trastuzumab emtansine,4. To characterize the PK profiles of atezolizumab and trastuzumab emtansine when given in combination,3. To evaluate the safety of atezolizumab when given in combination with trastuzumab emtansine compared with placebo and trastuzumab emtansine,2. To evaluate the efficacy of atezolizumab when given in combination with trastuzumab emtansine compared with placebo and trastuzumab emtansine in the PRO-evaluable analysis set,1. The secondary efficacy objective for this study is to evaluate the efficacy of atezolizumab when given in combination with trastuzumab emtansine compared with placebo and trastuzumab emtansine in both the ITT population and PD-L1-positive population,The primary objective for this study is to evaluate the efficacy of atezolizumab when given in combination with trastuzumab emtansine compared with placebo and trastuzumab emtansine in both the ITT population (all comers) and the PD-L1-positive population (defined as all patients from the ITT population with a centrally assessed PD-L1-positive status [i.e., PD-L1 status of IC1/2/3] at randomization),

Sexual and gender-based violence against South Sudanese Refugees in Uganda: A mixed-methods case study
REFNo: SS1029ES
The overall objective is to explore and compare the perceptions and experiences of sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) towards South Sudanese refugees in Uganda who live in designated settlements to those who self-settled. More specifically:
1.To estimate the prevalence of SGBV among South Sudanese refugees in Ugandan settlements vs. those who have self-settled in urban areas
2.To identify the risk and protective factors of SGBV amongst South Sudanese refugees in designated settlements vs. urban areas, from the perspective of South Sudanese refugees and local community leaders and decision makers
3.To explore the relationship between the estimated prevalence of SGBV in settlements and urban areas and the risk and protective factors identified by participants
4.To generate context-dependent, stakeholder-led solutions to reduce SGBV in each setting

Challenges of Diabetes Management in Rural and Urban Areas of Uganda
REFNo: HS2358ES
Our central hypothesis is that diabetics in rural and semi-rural areas of Uganda may not be storing insulin at the appropriate temperatures due to absence of refrigeration facilities. This may impact the efficacy of this life-saving medication resulting in poor diabetes management and potential complications. We also hypothesize that diabetes patients face other challenges that constrain proper disease management such as lack of knowledge on diabetes management, risk factors and complications. Thus, the specific aims of this study are to determine: (a) how diabetic patients in Tororo district, Uganda, manage their diabetes; (b) how the patients store their insulin; (c) general patient knowledge of diabetes management best-practices and complications; (d) the sources of medical advice used by diabetes patients; and (e) the patient-reported challenges of diabetes management. Tororo District has been chosen because it is one of the marginalized areas of the country and hence the burden of the problem in Tororo will be representative of the situation in other less advantaged parts of the country.
The findings of this study will be useful for in a number of ways (a) guiding future studies in these resource poor populations; (b) guiding diabetes management and control programs; (c) since practicing physicians will be involved in the study, the findings will be useful in informing their own clinical practice and understanding of how best to help their patients; (d) development of contextually appropriate educational interventions that may be adapted and implemented across not only Uganda but the other East African countries to counteract the emerging diabetes epidemic.

Gender-Based Violence in Refugee Sites in East Africa and Southeast Asia
REFNo: SS1330ES
This project is the exploratory, early-stage phase of a research agenda which seeks to better understand patterns of gender-based violence in refugee sites in the developing world. The study’s main question is: why does the prevalence and type of GBV vary across refugee site and within the same site over time? There are two main objectives of this early-stage research in answering this question. First, the project will add to the PI’s understanding of prevalence, types, and causes of gender-based violence on refugee sites in Kenya, Uganda, and Thailand. This builds upon previous volunteer work on refugee camps in Greece. The second objective is to build partnerships with local actors working on gender issues in refugee sites. This exploratory research will provide the PI with insights and partnerships that they will draw upon for future research, which is likely to involve more data collection in Uganda.

Tax evasion in customs: Firm-level evidence from Uganda
REFNo: SS1294ES
Our research would directly to Uganda’s policy objective to raise domestic revenues through improved tax administration to finance public investments for inclusive growth, especially by monitoring import tax(i.e., customs duty and import VAT). Despite the importance of trade taxes and ample anecdotal evidence on evasion this topic has received little attention so far. The identified clients for this study are the Research, Planning and Development Department and the Customs & Excise Department of the Uganda Revenue Authority.
