SEARCH (Sustainable East Africa Research in Community Health) Thank you NIH and PEPFAR for supporting SEARCH We are grateful for all who work on SEARCH, our multilateral partners, and the communities we serve. http://www.searchendaids.com NCT 01864603 Co-PIs Diane Havlir, Moses Kamya, Maya Petersen Economist: Harsha Thirumurthy Statistician: Laura Balzer, Mark van der Laan Social Scientist: Carol Camlin Vice-Chair: Edwin Charlebois Modeling: Britta Jewell, Anna Bershteyn Virologist: Teri Liegler KEMRI: Elizabeth Bukusi, Norton Sang, James Ayieko, Kevin Kadede UCSF: Tamara Clark, Gabe Chamie, Ted Ruel, Vivek Jain, Starley Shade, Doug Black, Cait Koss, Lillian Brown, Craig Cohen IDRC-UCSF: Dalsone Kwarisiima, Jane Kabami, Dathan Mirembe, Asiphas Owaraginise, Mucu Atukunda SEARCH Study SEARCH Hypothesis: HIV “test and treat” with universal ART using a multi-disease, patient- 32 communities, of 10,000 persons each centered care model would reduce new HIV ~320,00 person study infections and improve community health compared to a country guideline approach Uganda East N=10 Kenya Study Design: Pair-matched, community Uganda West N=12 randomized study of 32 rural communities N=10 Study Population: Age > 15 years • Comprehensive baseline census with biometric identifier Study Interventions INTERVENTION “CONTROL” COMMUNITIES COMMUNITIES N=16 N=16 HIV and NCD Diagnosis Health Fairs: Baseline + Annual * Health Fairs: Baseline only ART eligibility All (Universal) Country guidelines adapted over time Patient-centered Care**3 years • “Chronic care” model: HIV and HTN/DM Country standard- of- care Care Delivery • Rapid ART start and VL counseling • Welcoming environment, flexible clinic hours for HIV and HTN/DM • Mobile phone triage and reminders *Multi-disease: HIV, HTN, DM, malaria and other Follow-up testing for non- participants Chamie, Lancet HIV 2016 **Kwarisiima, JIAS 2017 Study Endpoint Measurements Catategory Study Endpoint Measurement HIV cascade HIV testing Confirmed rapid antibody testing coverage HIV cascade ART start Ministry of Health record HIV cascade Viral suppression Plasma HIV RNA at health fair measured with Roche assay, Viral Suppression <500 c/mL Community Mortality Key informant interviews at Year 3; classified as due to illness, childbirth, suicide or Health accident Community Tuberculosis TB Registry at health dispensaries Health Community Hypertension Blood pressure < 140/90 mmHg Health control Community Diabetes control Blood glucose <11 mmol/L at the health fairs Health HIV *Cumulative 3 Rapid HIV antibody testing with Geenius and Western Blot confirmation at Year 3 year HIV incidence health fairs among 117, 114 persons HIV-negative at baseline HIV Annual HIV Confirmed rapid HIV antibody testing at annual health fairs in the intervention arm incidence *primary study endpoint Statistical Methods • Randomization: pair matched on region, population density, number of trading centers, occupation mix and migration • Powered to detect 25-40% reduction in 3 year cumulative HIV incidence • Comparison of outcomes between arms using community-level analysis 1. Calculate community-level outcomes 2. Compare between arms • Targeted maximum liKelihood estimation (TMLE) and pre-specified adjustment to improve precision 3. Two-sided hypothesis testing, 5% significance level, pair as the independent unit • Pre-specified sensitivity analyses to looK at robustness of findings Balzer, Stat Med, 2016 Rapid Uptake of National ART Guidelines in Control clinics 2013 Kenya – Baseline to Year 3 2017 ART for all Intervention Clinics ART CD4 <350 ART CD4 <500 + ART for all (WHO 2010) (WHO 2013) (WHO 2015) Control Clinics Early implementation of expanded ART eligibility Results: SEARCH Adult Open Cohort Baseline Enumerated 355,848 persons 174,502 age <15 years 12 missing age Baseline Age > 15 years 181,334 Non-resident 30,685 Died by start of CHC 254 Baseline Residents 150,395 Turned 15 years old Died 26,858 2,633 Enter cohort Leave cohort In-migrated Out-migrated 25,556 13,822 Year 3 Residents 186,354 Study Population Total N=150,395 Region (HIV prevalence) Kenya (19%) 53,872 Western Uganda (7%) 47,328 Eastern Uganda (4%) 49,195 Male 67,981 (45.2%) Age 15-20 years 36,655 (24%) 21-49 years 84,022 (56%) 50+ years 29,718 (20%) Hypertension (among >30 year olds) 22,599 (20%) Stable (≤6 mo. out of community) 143,870 (96%) Farmer 76,695 (51%) Male Circumcision 20,597 (34%) Proportion ever tested for HIV 100% 90% • Dramatic ramp-up in 80% HIV testing coverage in 70% both arms from 57% 60% 50% pre-SEARCH to 90% 90% 91% 92% 94% 40% after baseline testing 30% 57% 58% 20% • Continued increase in Proportion ever tested ever Proportion 10% cumulative testing over 0% time in intervention Pre-Baseline (self- Baseline Year 1 Year 2 arm report) Study Time Intervention Control Among all residents ≧ 15 years, including in-migrants and aged-in; Pre-baseline: self-report at time of testing; Baseline-Ye a r 2 : Te sti n g status based on documented HIV test (SEARCH or Ministry record).
