A Phase II Multicenter Study of Pomalidomide Monotherapy in HIV-Positive Individuals with Kaposi Sarcoma (KS) in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA)
REFNo: HS2367ES

To evaluate if changes in serum cytokine levels correlate with clinical response.,To assess the effect of pomalidomide treatment on serum cytokine levels.,To evaluate the effects of pomalidomide monotherapy on standard measures of HIV control, i.e., CD4 counts and HIV viral loads, in this participant population.,To determine if pomalidomide monotherapy induces a minimal level of antitumor efficacy to justify its further development for HIV-associated KS in sub-Saharan Africa and is safe and tolerable.,

Efficacy, Safety and Effectiveness of Injectable Cabotegravir/Rilpivirine in Improving HIV Control in Sub-Saharan Africa: A pragmatic Phase 3 Open-label Randomized Controlled Trial.
REFNo: HS2475ES

Primary objective:
To demonstrate the non-inferior efficacy of switching to every 2 months (Q2M) intramuscular (IM) injection of cabotegravir (CAB) long acting (LA) plus rilpivirine (RPV) LA compared with continuation of first-line oral ART over 12 months in people living with HIV (PLHIV) with a history of, or at risk of, sub-optimal HIV control.

Secondary objectives:
1) To demonstrate the antiviral activity and the impact on retention in HIV care of switching to Q2M CAB LA + RPV LA compared with continuation of oral ART over 12 and 24 months in PLHIV with a history of, or at risk of, sub-optimal ART adherence or engagement in care.

2) To demonstrate the immunological activity of switching to Q2M CAB LA + RPV LA compared with continuation of oral ART over 12 and 24 months in PLHIV with a history of, or at risk of, sub-optimal ART adherence or engagement in care. This will be measured through change in CD4+ T cell count and incidence of HIV disease progression.

3) To evaluate the safety and tolerability of switching to Q2M CAB LA + RPV LA compared to continuation of oral ART.

4) To assess genotypic viral resistance in participants experiencing protocol-defined confirmed virological failure (plasma HIV-1 RNA >200 c/ml) and its impact on future treatment options including proportion who resuppress on dolutegravir.

5) To evaluate the effect of Q2M CAB LA + RPV LA on health-related quality of live, treatment satisfaction and treatment adherence. To describe cost-effectiveness and acceptability of the regimen.
