Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 12 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Study population: The study population consists of 100 participants with known (clinically or serologically) confirmed HIV infection. The participants, recruited by the staff of the Laboratory of Vial Diagnostics from the Evelyn Jordan Center, may be males or females (including pregnant women) at least 12 years of age from any ethnic and racial background.

Who may be able to join

  • Participants with known HIV infection who are willing to participate in the study and who sign an informed consent (or assent), will be included in the study.
  • Patients on HAART treatment for HIV will be included, but this information as well as the dates (duration) of treatment will be obtained through the interview of study participants; a medical record review is not necessary or required. The study participant's responses will be recorded by study staff on a Data Collection Form.
  • Patients with immunosuppressive conditions other than HIV will be included if available, but will be limited to < 25% of the total test population. Immunosuppression will also be assessed through interview of study participants and/or through verbal confirmation by the treating physician; a medical record/chart review is not required.
  • Patients must be willing to undergo venipuncture to donate one tube of EDTA whole blood (not more than 10cc), and to provide three oral fluid samples.

Who cannot join

  • Patients who do not consent, withdraw consent, or for whom the investigator determines that venipuncture or gum swabbing may create a health risk will be excluded from the study.
  • Participants who have been enrolled in HIV vaccine studies will be excluded from the study. This will be ascertained through interview of study participants.
  • Participants who have been enrolled once in this study will be excluded from repeat enrollment.
  • Participants must not have introduced any substance into their oral cavity (gum, food, beverage, candy, lozenges, mouthwash, etc.) for 30 minutes prior to providing an oral fluid sample. This will be ascertained through interview of study participants.

About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the DPP HIV Test With Reader and the HIV 1/2 Stat-Pak Test Using Oral Fluids

This protocol is intended to test the feasibility of using the HIV 1/2 STAT-PAK and the DPP HIV 1/2 test (with and without the DPP Handheld Reader) to detect HIV antibodies in oral fluids.

Read the detailed description

The objective of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of using fresh oral fluid specimens, from known HIV-positive individuals, to test for HIV-1 antibodies using both the DPP HIV 1/2 and HIV 1/2 STAT-PAK tests. Two oral fluid collection devices will be used and compared (MPC and Chembio collection devices) and the results obtained from oral fluids will be compared with those obtained from whole blood and plasma using paired samples from the same participants. The comparison between oral fluid, whole blood and plasma will be made in both Chembio devices (HIV 1/2 STAT-PAK and DPP HIV 1/2).

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Fresh Oral Fluid Samples With Known HIV (+) Status and HIV Reactivity

    Known HIV status determined clinically or serologically. HIV reactivity for all 100 samples determined first by licensed EIA and then confirmed with Western Blot and/or NAT testing.

    Measured: 1 to 3 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The Effectiveness of MPC and Chembio Oral Fluid Collection Devices

    Measured: 1-3

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of HIV Infections, run by Chembio Diagnostic Systems, Inc. at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Aug 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 15 Feb 2010). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of Fresh Oral Fluid Samples With Known HIV (+) Status and HIV Reactivity (time frame: 1 to 3 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 17 Aug 2015.
