Evaluation of biomarkers to predict TB-IRI
REFNo: HS4876ES
1. Determine whether higher levels of a set of biomarkers in people with HIV and tuberculosis prior to ART initiation may predict the development of TB-IRIS, particularly severe IRIS requiring corticosteroid treatment
2. Assess whether these biomarkers decrease between study entry and ART initiation in the deferred arm (i.e. with more prolonged anti-tuberculous therapy duration)
3. Determine whether these biomarkers can be predictive of other severe outcomes especially deaths.

Study population in Aim 1:
Our target population is adults (age ≥18) starting treatment for TB/TB-HIV in public, private, and private not-for-profit primary care clinics in Uganda. Targeting this population will allow us to assess the impact of the TB-EC on TB and ART treatment adherence and outcomes across a diverse population.
Study population Aim 2:
For the pilot study to test Aim 2 instruments, we will enroll adults (age ≥18) undergoing evaluation for TB and on TB treatment in primary care clinics.
All participants in Aim 1 of the study will participate in the Aim 2 of the study. We administer social and behavioral scales through the surveys that will be conducted in Aim 2.
Study population in Aim 3:
Aim 3 participants will include a subgroup of individuals enrolled in the Aim 1 trial, their peer navigators, and healthcare workers at study sites.

Testing the Feasibility and Acceptability of a Combination Intervention to Address Mental Health among Refugee Youth in Uganda
REFNo: SS2834ES
This proposed two-year study will be conducted in two phases. The first phase seeks to understand whether the COVID-19 pandemic had differential impact on refugee youth living in different settings. The second phase will test the feasibility and acceptability of an innovative combination intervention that has not been previously tested among refugee youth to address psychological problems that have increased since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Aim 1. To examine the mental health impact of COVID-19 on refugee youth living in Bidibidi refugee settlement compared to refugee youth living in urban centers (Arua town) in northern Uganda.
Aim 2. To test the feasibility, acceptability and preliminary short-term impact of an innovative intervention combining the youth readiness intervention (YRI) with youth development accounts and financial literacy training (YDA-FLT) to address the mental health impact of COVID-19 among refugee youth living in Bidibidi refugee settlement in northern Uganda.

Specifically, we will recruit 100 refugee youth from the five zones within Bidibidi Refugee settlement and another 100 youth among refugee youth living in Arua town (urban center). Youth will be recruited from centrally located ration distribution centers in the settlement, through churches, and youth advocacy groups led by refugee youth in Arua town that we will partner with. For the pilot RCT component, we will only include the 100 participants in Bidibidi refugee settlement with 50 randomized to the treatment group and the other 50 randomized to usual care group. |

consortium - Multisite Adaptive Platform
trial
REFNo: HS4547ES
OBJECTIVES
The objective of the SMAART-MAP trial is to identify promising adjunctive therapies to take forward into a large Phase III trial in severe malaria with a mortality endpoint. The adaptive platform design enables additional domains to be added so a range of adjunctive therapies can be tested, across multiple clinical presentations of severe malaria, in a timely manner.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE(S)
To explore within each domain the therapeutic efficacy of the intervention using an early indicator such as a biomarker or clinical assessment at 24-72 hours.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVE(S)
To assess the impact of the interventions on clinical outcomes (readmission and
mortality) on all children 28 days and 90 days after randomization
To assess the impact of the interventions on Grade 3 or 4 adverse events, and adverse
events of any grade related to the interventions or comparators.
To assess the impact of proposed definitions for severe malaria based on platelet counts
≤150,000/µL and plasma pfHRP2 concentrations ≥800 ng/mL on differences between
randomized groups
In a sub study, to determine the performance characteristics of a POC pfHRP2 test

These study participants who will be nurses on duty will observe the use of Autothermo, ask a few questions and document findings at the end of each shift. The remaining two nurses will be recruited as study research nurses who will enroll and use Autothermo to monitor temperatures of the admitted newborns during the study period. The sample size for parents or caregivers will be calculated basing on the Kish and Leslie where P (0.5) will be the probability of parents or caregivers who will express willingness to have their newborns’ temperatures monitored with Autothermo and q (1-p) will be the probability of those who will not express willingness to use Autothermo. The study will use a precision of 0.126 and a Z of 1.96 giving a total of 60 parents or caregivers to be recruited into the study. Taking |
Feasibility and Acceptability of Autothermo: The study will include health workers and parents or primary caregivers of newborn. Parents and caregivers who are 18 years and above will be recruited and all health workers in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. The parents or caregivers will be informed that the Autothermo bracelet will be removed at any time at their request.
