Multiplo Near Patient Non-HCP Study

NCT06463314 · Status: WITHDRAWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL

Last updated 2025-06-26

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

To help reach the undiagnosed living with HIV and/or syphilis in Canada, point-of-care (POC) tests for HIV and Syphilis may have substantial utility for increased identification of infected individuals through their relative ease of use and portability, as well as their ability to deliver rapid, actionable results while the care provider still has access to the patient. MedMira Inc. (Halifax, NS, Canada), has developed a POC test to detect HIV and Syphilis antibodies in fingerstick blood samples that is seeking approval from Health Canada for use by trained healthcare professionals. The goal of this study is to provide evidence that untrained, non-registered health care providers (ie. peer testers) can perform the test without any increased risk of obtaining erroneous results. This test requires no instrumentation and can be used by non-registered health care professionals including peer testers ("Operators") in multiple near patient settings such as community health centres and point of care testing locations.

Interventions

DEVICE

Multiplo TP/HIV Antibody Test

The Multiplo TP/HIV Antibody Test (MedMira Laboratories Inc., Halifax, NS), \["Multiplo TP/HIV Test"\] is a single use, rapid, vertical-flow in vitro qualitative immunoassay for the detection of antibodies to Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Type 1/Type 2 and Treponema pallidum (Syphilis) in human fingerstick blood. The Multiplo® TP/HIV Test is intended as an aid in the diagnosis of HIV1/2 and Syphilis infections in patients with signs and symptoms of HIV and syphilis. The test is intended for use by trained personnel in medical facilities, clinical laboratories, emergency care situations, and physicians' offices as an in vitro diagnostic device capable of providing results in less than five minutes. The Multiplo TP/HIV Test has not yet sought approval for self-testing. All required pre and post-test counselling guidelines must be followed in each setting in which the Multiplo TP/HIV Test is used. Results are read visually.
