Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is a pilot study to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effectiveness of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP)smart among cisgender sexual minority males (SMM) taking on-demand PrEP over a 6-month period.

Upon project completion, the investigators will have developed a highly innovative tool to support men who have sex with men (MSM) using on-demand PrEP ready for testing in a larger efficacy trial

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study is designed to enroll a diverse population of English-speaking cisgender sexual minority males (SMM) in the United States. The study team will enroll up to 60 participants who are taking or are interested in taking on-demand pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). Participants will be randomized 2:1 to receive (intervention arm) or not receive (control arm) the PrEPsmart app at enrollment. Participants will complete follow-up visits at 3 and 6 months.

Participants newly starting 2-1-1 PrEP will be seen at the Bridge HIV clinic (prescribed group), while those already on PrEP may be seen at the clinic or complete visits virtually (non-prescribed group). Although no restrictions are put on the racial/ethnic make-up of the study participants, the site will strive to enroll at least 50% African American or Latino SMM into this study. The study will also strive to enroll at least 30% of participants who are newly starting or restarting 2-1-1 PrEP. Upon project completion, the study team will have developed a highly innovative tool to support men who have sex with men (MSM) using on-demand PrEP ready for testing in a larger efficacy trial.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

Participants will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to the intervention (N=40) or control (N=20) conditions, using randomly-permuted blocks of randomly selected sizes 2 and 4, stratified by PrEP status (prescribed, non-prescribed). The randomization scheme will be generated and archived by the study statistician and implemented in RedCap.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

PrEPsmart intervention (N=40)

Participants will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to the intervention (N=40) For the pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP)smart intervention group, a study clinician will perform a medical history and limited physical exam to confirm eligibility to enroll in the study, a 4th generation rapid Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) test will be performed, and labs drawn for creatinine, sexual transmitted infection (STI) testing (Neisseria gonorrhoeae/Chlamydia trachomatis (GC/CT)), syphilis), and hepatitis B testing.

For participants newly starting 2-1-1 PrEP (PrEPsmart intervention group), study drug will be offered to participants to ensure that they will have access to PrEP during the study to be able to adequately test the app.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

PrEPsmart mobile app

Intervention Type DEVICE

The PrEPsmart mobile app is an innovative and comprehensive app to support sexual minority men (SMM) using on-demand pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) or daily PrEP. The PrEPsmart app consists of the following components:

1. PrEP 211 dosing/sex diary and reminders
2. Feedback on PrEP protection levels
3. Quick tips
4. Bi-directional secure messaging

Truvada

Intervention Type DRUG

Combination medication used in Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) prevention, it blocks virus pathways to infection.

control (N=20)

For the non-prescribed group, study staff will request documentation of an HIV-negative test within the last 3 months OR evidence of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) prescription within the last 6 months from medical records or pharmacy/provider communication. Additionally, study staff will confirm via self-report that the participant's 2-1-1 PrEP use will be clinically monitored by another clinician or clinic for the duration of the study. Any individual with a positive HIV test will have a confirmation test sent to the lab and be referred immediately for HIV care and initiation of treatment.

For participants already on PrEP (control group) may choose to continue to use their own supply of Truvada (tenofovir disoproxil fumarate/emtricitabine, or TDF/FTC).
