EARTH: first patient has been recruited!

21 May, 2018

It is with great pleasure that we announce that the first patient in the EARTH study has been recruited. Ths encouraging news comes to us from the PHRU site in Soweto, South Africa. Now that all sites are open for recruitment, with some patients having already been
screened, we are confident we will see more participants in the near future. This is the first of 150 children to be enrolled from one of 5 sites situated in South Africa and Mozambique.

The EARTH project, nested within the EPIICAL platform, is a prospective multicentre, low-interventional study of HIV+ perinatally infected children on sustained suppressive antiretroviral therapy (ART) commenced before 3 months of age.

We extend our thanks and congratulations to all the team at PHRU for their efforts and hard work in this study.
