Community, Home-based Education, Screening Services Strategy to Increase Cervical Cancer Control Access for HIV-Positive Women in Nigeria
The goal of this observational study is to focus on adapting and implementing a program to promote HPV and cervical cancer (CC) screening and follow-up treatment for HIV-positive women, with three specific aims: * Adaptation: Use stakeholder deliberation to tailor the successful MoMent program for this population. * Implementation and Assessment: Deploy the adapted MoMent program and evaluate its reach, effectiveness, adoption, and fidelity. * Evaluation: Conduct a post-implementation process evaluation to identify barriers and facilitators to the program's maintenance and sustainability.
Vitamin D3 for Moderate to Mild Traumatic Brain Injury: A Randomized Trial on Inflammation and Recovery (VIMOT)
This study is a Phase II, randomized, quadruple-blinded, placebo-controlled clinical trial designed to test whether vitamin Dâ supplementation can improve recovery after mild-to-moderate traumatic brain injury (TBI) in adults. Traumatic brain injury often leads to inflammation and poor neurological outcomes, and many patients are vitamin D-deficient. Vitamin Dâ is a safe, widely available supplement that may reduce inflammation and support brain recovery. A total of 240 adults (18-65 years) with mild-to-moderate TBI will be enrolled at Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, Nigeria. Participants will be assigned to one of four groups: Group A (Deficient + High-Dose Dâ): 40,000 IU loading dose, then 4,000 IU daily for 3 weeks Group B (Deficient + Standard-Dose Dâ): 2,000 IU daily for 3 weeks Group C (Sufficient + Standard-Dose Dâ): 2,000 IU daily for 3 weeks Group D (Sufficient + Placebo): placebo daily for 3 weeks All groups will be followed for 24 weeks. Blood tests at baseline, week 1, week 2, and week 4 will measure inflammation. Neurological recovery will be assessed at weeks 4, 12, and 24 using the Glasgow Outcome Scale-Extended (GOS-E) and Modified Rankin Scale (mRS). The main outcomes are changes in inflammatory markers. Secondary outcomes include mortality, functional recovery, hospital stay, safety, and cost-effectiveness. The results may identify a low-cost, scalable treatment to improve outcomes after TBI, especially in low-resource settings.
A Comparative Study of Intraocular Pressure Control Using Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty and Latanoprost as Initial Treatments for Primary Open Angle Glaucoma and Ocular Hypertension in Lagos State University Teaching Hospital
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the short-term efficacy and safety of selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) to 0.005% latanoprost eye drops in lowering intraocular pressure (IOP) as primary therapy in treatment-naĂŻve patients diagnosed as early to moderate primary open-angle glaucoma(POAG) or ocular hypertension (OHT) in the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, Ikeja. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Will Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty be an equally effective treatment option compared with 0.005% Latanoprost eyedrops in reducing Intraocular Pressure when used alone as first-line therapy in Nigerian patients with POAG and OHT? 2. Will Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty record a similar safety profile compared with 0.005% Latanoprost when used independently as a primary therapy? 3. How will the quality of life of patients who undergo Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty treatment compare with patients on 0.005% Latanoprost eyedrops? Participants will be randomized to one of the two intervention groups. Group A(latanoprost group) will use 0.005% latanoprost eye drops every night at 2100hours(9.00pm) west African Time for 3 months. intraocular pressures will be monitored at intervals for a period of 3 months. Group B(SLT group) will have Laser treatment administered as a one-off treatment. intraocular pressures will be monitored at intervals for a period of 3 months. A record of side effects will be documented at each follow up visit
Trial Studying Chemotherapy in Nigerian Women With Triple Negative Breast Cancer
The primary purpose of this study is to determine what proportion of participants will achieve complete pathological response with epirubicin+ cyclophosphamide followed by docetaxel +carboplatin.

A Phase 2 Open-label Study to Evaluate the Activity of Etavopivat on Transcranial Doppler Velocities in Pediatric Patients With Sickle Cell Disease Who Are at Increased Risk for Primary Stroke
The study will test a new medicine, etavopivat, for sickle cell disease and see if it is safe and help-ful for participants with sickle cell disease who are at an increased risk of stroke. Participants will be divided into two cohorts depending on their transcranial doppler (TCD) ultrasound results and whether or not they receive hydroxyurea (medication that they may already be taking). In one cohort, participants with conditional transcranial doppler (TCD) or participants with abnormal TCD who are not able to receive hydroxyurea will be included. The study doctor will determine if the TCD result is conditional or abnormal. In another cohort, participants with conditional TCD or participants with abnormal TCD who are receiving a stable dose of hydroxyurea will be included. The study doctor will determine if the TCD result is conditional or abnormal. The participant will start a 52-week (1 year) treatment period. The participant will take 400 milligrams (mg) of etavopivat once a day for the 52 weeks. The dose of 400 mg will be taken as 2 tablets by mouth, each containing 200 mg of etavopivat. Etavopivat may be taken with or without food. Each dose should be taken with a glass of water. As part of the study, the participants will be asked to visit the clinic frequently. The participant will have the opportunity to participate in a 48-week optional extension treatment period. The optional extension treatment period will allow continued as-sessment of safety of etavopivat in paediatric patients. At the end of the study, if deemed appro-priate the participant, the caregiver, and the study doctor, the participant may be offered the op-portunity to participate in a separate study to continue receiving etavopivat. If/when this separate study becomes available, the participant may only transfer to the new study after completion of the 52-week primary treatment period and at any time during the 48-week optional extension treatment period.

EMUs: Enhanced Monitoring Using Sensors After Surgery
Patients can become critically unwell following surgical operations. Delay in recognition of this deterioration can result in patient harm and even death. Wearable wireless sensors that record patients vital signs such as heart rate could help improve recognition of patient deterioration. The goal of this observational study: Enhanced Monitoring Using Sensors After Surgery (EMUs) is to determine if data from wearable physiological monitors can be used for the early detection of postoperative deterioration, while being acceptable to patients and healthcare staff. The study participants and surgical inpatients undergoing open surgery. There are 3 objectives which each represent a stage of the study: 1. To perform usability testing of device with clinicians, nurses, and healthcare workers in non-clinical environment. 2. To determine baseline postoperative monitoring practice across our network and perform device usability testing in clinical environment. 3. To perform a shadow-mode cohort study with collection of time-stamped sensor clinical event data to determine relationships between physiological waveforms and patient deterioration. This registration focuses on the shadow-mode cohort study. Participants will wear wireless sensors on their chest and fingers, pre-, intra-, and post-operatively for up to 10 days. The sensors will record their vital signs such as heart rate, and oxygen levels. This will then be analysed, and used to aid the design of early detection algorithms that may be able to predict clinical illness or complications in this patient group. This is an observational study gathering real time data only. No changes in patient care will result, and in Stages 2 and 3 no sensor data will be available to clinical teams. This study will be performed in departments of general surgery in Benin, Ghana, Guatemala, India, Mexico, Nigeria, Rwanda, and the United Kingdom.
