Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Pharmacists who provide or are willing to provide PEP/PrEP services at participating pharmacies, and patients 18 years or older seeking PEP or PrEP at those pharmacies.

Probably not a fit

Patients who do not use the software or whose pharmacies do not participate may not experience improved access.

What this trial studies

This interventional study compares pharmacist implementation of PEP/PrEP services with and without the PEPPI software to see if the tool improves service delivery and patient access. Participants include licensed pharmacists who provide PEP/PrEP services and patients seeking PEP or PrEP at participating pharmacies. Pharmacists will use the PEPPI software as part of routine service delivery, while patient interactions will occur at pharmacies offering PEP/PrEP under the software protocol. The study seeks to quantify changes in ease of service provision and in patient access when the software is used. Lead sponsor is EMPOWERX Inc in collaboration with NIMH, with study sites in Del Mar, California.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the software could make it easier for pharmacists to offer PEP/PrEP and help more people access HIV prevention.

How similar studies have gone: Previous work in digital tools for expanding pharmacist services has shown promise, but this exact PEPPI approach is being tested for its impact on both provider workflows and patient access.
