NCT04232540

Brief Summary

This is a pilot study to assess the feasibility, acceptability and appropriateness of delivery of the investigational "MedViewer" intervention in adult patients living with HIV who have been prescribed antiretroviral (ARV) medications. The Medviewer uses Infra-red (IR) matrix-assisted laser desorption electrospray ionization (MALDESI) technology for mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) to analyze patient hair samples to provide information on ARV adherence in real-time. The study has two different groups of participants: the patients, and their clinician providers.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

  • Percent of Patient Participants That Received a MedViewer Report as Planned

    Patient participants received their MedViewer report as planned if: (1) they had results delivered to the research team member within 2 hours of initiation of hair sample processing; and (2) discussed results with a provider participant during their clinic visit. The percent of patient participants that received the MedViewer report as planned is reported.

    Visit 1 (Day 1) after patient participant clinic visit

  • Percent of Contacted Patients That Were Eligible for a Screening Visit and Agreed to Participate in the Study

    Contacted patients were deemed eligible for a screening visit using a pre-screening questionnaire and provided documented informed consent to participate in the study. The percent of all contacted eligible patients that agreed to participate in study is reported. Per study protocol, this outcome is not measured in providers.

    Visit 1 (Day 1) before patient participant clinic visit

  • Percent of Patient Participants That Were Satisfied With Their Discussion With a Provider Participant About Antiretroviral (ART) Adherence Using the MedViewer Report

    Patient participants were asked to rate their satisfaction with the MedViewer report for promoting a productive discussion of ART adherence with a provider participant. Satisfaction was rated on a rated on a 5-point scale (1="very unsatisfied" to 5="very satisfied"), with higher scores being more favorable. The percent of patient participants reporting 4 or greater (4="somewhat satisfied" or 5="very satisfied") on this scale as was calculated.

    Visit 1 (Day 1) after patient participant clinic visit

  • Percent of Patient Participants for Whom Provider Participants Reported the MedViewer Report as Being Useful for Promoting a Productive Antiretroviral (ART) Adherence Discussion

    For each of patient participant, provider participants were asked to rate the usefulness of the MedViewer report in promoting a productive discussion with the patient participant about ART adherence using a 5-point scale (1="not at all useful" to 5="extremely useful"), with a higher score being more favorable. The percent of patient participants with provider participants reporting 4 or greater (4="very useful" or 5="extremely useful") on this scale as was calculated.

    Visit 1 (Day 1) after patient participant clinic visit

Secondary Outcomes (7)

  • Among Patient Participants That Did Dot Receive a MedViewer Report, Percent of Patient Participants That Did Not Receive the MedViewer for a Given Reason or Reasons

    Visit 1 (Day 1) after patient participant clinic visit

  • Mean Hours From Patient Participant Hair Sample Processing Initiation to MedViewer Report Delivery to Designated Research Staff Member

    Time 1 to Time 2 prior to or on Visit 1 (Day 1)

  • Percent of Participants Reporting a High Likelihood of Future MedViewer Report Use

    Visit 1 (Day 1) after patient participant clinic visit for patient participants, end line visit for provider participants

  • Percent of Patient Participants Reporting High Comprehension of the MedViewer Report

    Visit 1 (Day 1) after patient participant clinic visit

  • Percent of Patient Participants Reported by Provider Participants as Having High Comprehension of the MedViewer Report
