Malawi 2022-07-13 16:33:33 2025-07-13 1,736 participants Assuming an intra-class coefficient, rho of 0.02, we need to form 116 groups, each comprising 12 persons (8 with diabetes or hypertension and 4 with HIV). This will provide over 80% power to detect an absolute difference in risk of diabetes and hypertension control of 10% (i.e. 50% versus 60% achieving good control in the 2 arms would be statistically significant at the 5% two-sided significance level). Power will be very high for differences larger than this. For the HIV viral suppression endpoint, we assume that viral suppression is close to 90% and that the primary aim is to show non-inferiority with the community-care arm (and secondary analyses will compare superiority). The trial will have over 80% power to show non-inferiority with a margin of delta= 8.5%, 7.5%, and 5.5% assuming viral suppression is 85%, 90% and 95% respectively. To allow for losses to follow-up, our target for enrolment is 124 groups each comprising 14 participants (i.e. a total of 1,736 participants).

CHOICE-BASED PrEP DELIVERY FOR TRANSGENDER PEOPLE IN UGANDA
REFNo: HS2316ES

Aim 1: Identify PRECEDE factors that influence PrEP implementation for transgender people in Uganda.

Guided by the PRECEDE-PROCEED model, which is widely used for public health interventions, we will analyze previously collected qualitative data from four TGP studies and also conduct two new focus groups with TGP and providers to identify predisposing, reinforcing, and enabling factors that may impact implementation of choice-based PrEP. A stakeholder workshop anchored in good participatory practice will discuss results of the qualitative research and guide design of the optimal choice-based PrEP delivery model for Aim 2.

Aim 2: Offer PrEP choice to transgender people in a DSD model and evaluate implementation and effect on PrEP use (PROCEED).

We will offer choice of CAB-LA or oral PrEP, and choice of facility or community delivery (with option to switch), to 300 HIV-negative TGP with follow-up for 24 months. Adverse events, product switching, and trajectories of choice over time will be monitored and documented. Persistence on CAB LA and oral PrEP will be compared during the choice period, and with a historical cohort without PrEP choice (ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04491422). Primary outcomes are choice of PrEP option & delivery model, adherence, and persistence.

Aim 3: Use mixed methods to evaluate how choice influences PrEP use among TGP (PROCEED).
Inductive and deductive analyses based on in-depth interviews with purposively sampled PrEP users (n=50) and providers (n=10) will be used to explain “how” and “why” choice did or did not work and interpret implementation data from Aim 2. Choice preferences will be assessed via structured questionnaires.

Aim 4: Estimate cost implications associated with integrating CAB LA into HIV programs.
We will conduct health system versus client cost analyses to inform budgeting. Costs incurred and averted will be estimated using activity-based micro-costing, study budget, and the literature. Costs and modeled outcomes will be combined to estimate budget impact with PrEP persistence at 6 and 12 months.
