Behavioral and social science research to support development of educational materials for clinical trials of broadly neutralizing antibodies for HIV treatment and prevention.

ABSTRACT:

Background/aims

Early integration of behavioral and social sciences research into clinical trials can improve trial conduct and facilitate future implementation of biomedical interventions. We sought to examine participants' experiences in clinical trials with broadly neutralizing antibodies and describe the development of educational materials for use in future broadly neutralizing antibody research.

Methods

We conducted semi-structured interviews with trial participants in phase 1 trials evaluating safety and efficacy of broadly neutralizing antibodies for HIV prevention and treatment and key informants (i.e. trial staff involved in broadly neutralizing antibody research). Semi-structured interviews were transcribed and analyzed thematically. Based on findings from the int
