Active clinical trials for "Gonorrhea"

A Multicentre, controlled, randomized trial of 3 site (urethra, pharynx and rectum) sampling performed every 3 months (3x3) for Neisseria gonorrhoea (Ng)/Chlamydia trachomatis (Ct) screening (comparator) vs. no screening (intervention).

This investigational study will be conducted to evaluate the performance of the NeuMoDx™ CT/NG Assay on the NeuMoDx™ 288 Molecular System and NeuMoDx™ 96 Molecular System (collectively referred to as NeuMoDx™ CT/NG Assay test system).

This is a multi-center study with a minimum of three sites in the United States. The study will enroll approximately 1750 female subjects, 14 years of age and older, and will have a study duration of approximately 9 months after enrollment of the first subject. Female subjects seen at the participating sites for any reason will be evaluated for enrollment in this study. All subjects will be managed per standard of care as applicable. Subjects who are enrolled in the study will perform self-collection of a vaginal swab to be tested by Click device and allow the health care provider (HCP) to collect three additional vaginal swabs to be tested by recognized FDA-cleared comparator methods. Subjects will complete the study in a single visit. The primary objective is to assess the performance of the Click device for detection of Chlamydia trachomatis (CT), Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG), and Trichomonas vaginalis (TV) in self-collected vaginal specimens as compared to Patient Infected Status (PIS) determined by three approved comparator assays using vaginal specimens collected by a qualified HCP in support of obtaining FDA clearance. and a Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) Waiver.

This study randomizes St. Louis men to home-based STD screening or clinic-based STD screening. Home-based screening will be completed through the mail and clinic-based screening in a local clinical setting. We hypothesize that men randomized to home-based screening will be more likely to complete screening.

The Washington State Community Expedited Partner Therapy Trial is a stepped-wedge community level randomized trial designed to test the hypothesis that a public health program designed to increase the use of expedited partner therapy can decrease the prevalence of chlamydial infection in young women and the incidence of gonorrhea in Washington state. The study intervention will be modeled after and intervention previously evaluated in King County WA (Golden MR, Sex Transm Dis 2007;598-603). The intervention has two components: 1) promotion of patient delivered partner therapy (PDPT) use by medical providers in accordance with Washington state guidelines; and 2) targeted provision of partner services. PDPT use will be promoted through education and by making medication packs for PDPT available statewide. Medical providers will refer selected persons with gonorrhea or chlamydial infection for partner services based on defined criteria associated with failure to ensure partners' treatment. The intervention will be instituted in four waves separated by 6-9 months. Each wave will include approximately 6 local health jurisdictions. The order in which health jurisdictions initiate the intervention will be randomly assigned. The study's primary endpoint will be the prevalence of chlamydial infection in women age 15-25 tested through clinics participating in the state's Infertility Prevention Project (IPP) and the incidence of gonorrhea among women as determined through public health reporting.

This study randomizes women using long-acting reversible methods of contraception to home-based STD screening through the mail compared to screening available in a clinical setting. We hypothesize that women randomized to home-based screening will be more likely to complete screening.

This is a randomized controlled trial to determine whether a home screening test for chlamydia and gonorrhea will lead to increased use of screening tests and increased detection of sexually transmitted diseases.

The purpose of this trial is to determine whether providing non-contracepting women with gonorrhea or chlamydial infection with advanced provision emergency contraception (APEC) and condoms decreases their risk of becoming pregnant.

Investigators at the University of Alabama in Birmingham in collaboration with investigators from the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta are evaluating the performance of three commercial nucleic acid amplification tests for the detection of Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae in pharyngeal and rectal swab specimens. Cultures for C. trachomatis and N. gonorrhoeae are performed as additional reference tests. Study subjects are men and women attending sexually transmitted disease (STD) and HIV care clinics in Birmingham, Alabama, who report sexual behaviors that place them at risk for pharyngeal or rectal sexually transmitted infections.

This is a randomized controlled trial which will evaluate dual gonorrhea/chlamydia test uptake and other outcomes in men who have sex with men (MSM) in three trial arms - 1) a pay-it-forward testing arm, 2) a pay-what-you-want testing arm, and 3) standard of care arm.
