NCT00867854
This laboratory-based sub-study of ATN 061 and ATN 071 will examine the effect of early treatment followed by treatment de-intensification to atazanavir/ritonavir (ATV/r) monotherapy on steady-state frequencies of replication-competent CD4+ T cell Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)-1 reservoirs or cell-associated infectivity (CAI) and persistent low-level viremia (LLV), and their contribution to successful long-term control of HIV-1 replication among HIV-1 infected adolescents and young adults.
NCT00273273
The purpose of this project is to study the pharmacokinetics of a once-daily antiretroviral medication used to treat adolescents and young adults with HIV infection.
NCT02449629
This study uses a transformative multiphasic mixed-methods research design that incorporates elements of the following designs: * Sequential: a secondary data analysis was conducted, using data from ATN 039, ATN 086, and ATN 106, to influence the development of the qualitative interview and quantitative survey instruments for primary data collection. * Convergent parallel: concurrent collection and analysis of both qualitative and quantitative primary data that will be combined to address the study objectives.
NCT01322217
This study will collect information on health status and risk behaviors, as well as basic demographic and biomedical information for a group of HIV positive adolescents receiving care at sites newly participating in ATN III.
NCT01492842
The proposed study is a substudy of ATN 106 and a cross sectional study intended to be conducted at each of the AMTUs newly participating in ATN III. The intent is to enroll all youth with behaviorally-acquired HIV who have enrolled in ATN 106. The study involves a review of the subjects' medical chart and a collection of an oral rinse sample.
NCT02438592
This is an observational study involving retrospective and prospective medical record review covering a total maximum of 104 weeks (24 months) per subject. An Audio Computer- Assisted Self-Interview (ACASI) at study entry will assess demographic and psychosocial variables of study subjects. Data will also be collected to assess clinic level variables. Definitions of engagement, prescription of antiretroviral therapy (ART), and viral suppression in the Continuum of Care (CoC) will utilize common definitions including those by U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) and Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) HIV/AIDS Bureau (HAB). Data will be collected in a large, simple trial design manner to provide all elements for both the primary and secondary outcomes.
NCT00686049
The goal of this study is to assess the reliability of the HIV Treatment Readiness Measure (HTRM) to assist clinicians in: (1) determining whether or not youth living with HIV are ready to initiate HAART and (2) identifying youth who may be in need of additional support services to facilitate their adherence to HAART. The current study will examine the psychometric properties of the HTRM and establish its test-retest reliability over a two week period. If the HTRM is found to be reliable, a subsequent study will examine its predictive validity.
NCT00393575
Connect to Protect (C2P): Partnerships for Youth Prevention Interventions is a multi-site, three-phase project developed by the Adolescent Medicine Trials Network for HIV/AIDS Interventions (ATN). The overall goal of the project is to ultimately reduce HIV incidence and prevalence in youth 12-24 years old through a community mobilization intervention. This protocol (ATN 040) describes part one of Phase III. Part two of Phase III will be submitted as a separate protocol (ATN 041).
NCT02366533
The goal of ATN 093 is to determine program-level factors associated with the effectiveness of SMILE in Caring for Youth Linkage-to-Care (LTC) program network at the 15 Adolescent Medicine Trial Units (AMTU). This will be accomplished by evaluating and categorizing the various LTC programs at the AMTUs and then examining the association between the LTC program characteristics (providers, practices, and systems) and the proportion of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)-infected youth, ages 12-24 years old, inclusive, linked to care and maintained in care. As such, this study focuses on LTC programs at the AMTUs as the unit of analysis and not the youth themselves.
NCT00107029
This protocol is a study of HIV+ young people who were identified as having certain HIV-1 specific T-cell responses and genetic markers while previously enrolled in the 5-year longitudinal adolescent study, "REACH." Blood samples will be collected, a medical and medication history and physical examination will be performed every 6 months for a total of 2 years.
NCT01203332
The proposed research will include adolescent and young adult Hispanic/Latino men who have sex with men (MSM) and heterosexual men and women, aged 13-24 years, and will be based at 13 ATN Adolescent Medicine Trial Units (AMTUs) that provide clinical care and psychosocial services to the target group. In 10 of the 13 sites, comparisons will be made between alternative venue-based testing (AVT) and social and sexual network-based interviewing and HIV testing (SSNIT) strategies to assess which, among these approaches, is the most effective means for identifying undiagnosed human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in young, at-risk Hispanics/Latinos. Three of the sites will focus solely on use of SSNIT for identifying undiagnosed HIV in our target group of adolescents and young adults. All study participants will complete an audio computer-assisted self-interview (ACASI) and undergo HIV screening. Participants with presumptive HIV positive screening results will be referred to the local AMTU for confirmatory testing, post-test counseling and referrals for linkage to HIV medical care. Linkage to care for ATN 096 study participants will be conducted in accordance with the Strategic Multisite Initiative for the Identification, Linkage, and Engagement in Care of Youth with Undiagnosed HIV Infection (SMILE in CARING for YOUTH) Program (ATN 093), a collaboration of the CDC and NICHD/ATN, to ensure that youth who test positive for HIV as part of this protocol are linked with treatment and care.
NCT00073008
This study was designed to evaluate and compare the efficacy of two dose schedules of an oral investigational drug for the treatment of advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer.
NCT01953653
This protocol explores the feasibility and acceptability of using two daily diary methods to analyze state-dependent variables and psychosocial health outcomes in Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)-positive young men who have sex with men (YMSM). The study will explore the potential of diaries for use in feedback-based interventions.
NCT00891644
This is the second phase of a two-phase, cross-sectional study of linkage to medical care of HIV positive youth. Social, psychological and behavioral factors associated with receipt of care will be evaluated. This study will also compare three methods for recruitment of out-of-care youth using a randomized permuted block list of possible sequences.
NCT01049789
This is a two-phase study that is designed to test a novel behavioral intervention to treat depression in Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) adolescents and young adults. Four Adolescent Trials Network (ATN) sites will be assigned to either the Combination Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Medication Management (COMB) treatment group or the Treatment as Usual (TAU) group. Phase I involves pilot testing of a 24-week intervention consisting of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Medication Management (MM) manuals at sites assigned to the COMB treatment group. Participants enrolled at TAU sites will receive treatment for depression that is typical at that site, which may include medication management, psychosocial therapy, or a combination of the two. Psychopharmacological and psychosocial interventions will not be standardized and participants may receive any depression treatment recommended by the site clinicians while on study. Study coordinators and site clinicians, regardless of group assignment, will document depression symptoms and treatment regimens for all participants for 24 weeks. In addition, site staff and participants at COMB sites will participate in an exit interview. The findings from these interviews will be used to revise both CBT and MM intervention manuals at the end of Phase I. Phase II is a feasibility study of the revised CBT and MM manuals. Phase II involves similar procedures as Phase I; sites assigned to COMB will implement the revised CBT and MM manuals. Participants at TAU sites will receive treatment for depression that is typical at that site. As in Phase I, psychopharmacological and psychosocial interventions will not be standardized and participants may receive any depression treatment recommended by the site clinicians while on study. Depression symptoms and treatment regimens for all participants will be documented for 24 weeks. Additionally, all Phase II participants will have 2 follow-up visits at weeks 36 and 48. Again, site staff and participants at COMB sites will participate in an exit interview. The findings from these interviews will be used to revise both CBT and MM manuals at the end of Phase II.
NCT00703040
This first phase of a two-phase study involves three components: 1. Review of existing linkage-to-care protocols and sources of referrals for care; 2. Semi-structured telephone or face-to-face interviews with a minimum of two personnel per site who are associated with linkage to medical care. (Preference will be given to personnel with direct experience in linkage to care); and 3. Structured observations of referral sessions.
NCT00255892
This study is an exploratory qualitative investigation of the challenges, strengths, and needed areas of support associated with receiving an HIV diagnosis among youth living with HIV. Qualitative interviews will be conducted with health care providers who work with adolescents living with HIV and focus groups will be conducted with adolescents who are living with HIV (ages 16-24). One third of the focus groups will be conducted in Spanish. Findings from this study will be used to create an outline and development plan for a culturally-sensitive and developmentally appropriate intervention (or set of interventions) for youth recently diagnosed with HIV.
NCT00841360
This is a pilot study with a cross-sectional research design to recruit Hispanic/Latina and African American adolescent and young adult women, aged 13-24 years to serve as index recruiters, who will in turn recruit members of her female friendship network, aged 13 years and older to undergo HIV screening. This approach seeks to identify new HIV infections in the target population.
NCT00107562
Social networks are thought to hold the potential for shaping behavior on the grounds that social and situational factors more strongly influence behavior than do personality variables. This is a behavioral intervention study that will test a 6-session, small-group, peer-network intervention among adolescent males and females and their friends. The intervention primarily focuses on reducing risky sexual behavior and increasing condom use among adolescent males and females, aged 16-19. The concurrent use of alcohol and marijuana during sex is also a focus as these two substances are widely used among adolescents and fuel risky sexual behavior.
