- Registration Number
- NCT05979714
- Lead Sponsor
- Public Health Foundation Enterprises, Inc.
- Brief Summary
This is a single-arm implementation study of a novel integrated delivery model of CAB-RPV LA for transwomen living with HIV.
- Detailed Description
CAB-RPV LA as a monthly injectable could address disparities in viral suppression among trans women living with HIV. This study is designed to enroll a diverse population of trans women living with HIV who receive HIV care within collaborating primary care clinics. This study proposes using mixed methods to tailor and evaluate implementation and client outcomes when CAB-RPV LA is delivered through this integrated delivery model.
This will be a 9-month pilot study among 40 participants who will be provided CAB-RPV LA through an integrated trans-friendly delivery model using 4 implementation strategies to improve the adoption and integration of CAB-RPV LA delivery to trans women. These strategies are aimed at all levels of implementation - system, clinic, provider, and patient to maximize impact. The 4 strategies are a patient-centered injection site (Bridge HIV, SFDPH), patient-centered adherence support (peer health navigation and SMS platform with reminders and communication with staff), provider education, and improved clinic communication strategies.. CAB-RPV LA is being provided as standard of care and is not paid for by the study.

Group Intervention Description Cheeky Study Intervention Patient-centered adherence support This study represents a hybrid design type 3 focusing primarily on implementation outcomes and secondarily on clinical effectiveness among trans women living with HIV receiving care within primary care clinics in San Francisco. A type 3 design was chosen, as the clinical efficacy of CAB- RPV LA has been established in clinical trials, and the focus of this study is on initial implementation of CAB-RPV LA within these clinics.
