1037. Qualitative Findings from a Hybrid III Implementation-Effectiveness Study to Explore Perspectives of Health-care Staff on Early Implementation of Cabotegravir and Rilpivirine Long Acting (CAB+RPV LA) Injectable HIV treatment in the US (CUSTOMIZE)

Sumario:BACKGROUND: CAB+RPV LA administered monthly for HIV treatment is non-inferior to daily oral ART at maintaining HIV suppression but concerns about implementation of this novel treatment paradigm remain. CUSTOMIZE, an implementation-effectiveness study, examined barriers and facilitators to successful implementation of CAB+RPV LA in US HIV clinics. METHODS: Semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted with physicians, injectors, and administrators across diverse clinics in US without previous CAB+RPV LA experience at Baseline (BL) (N=26) and after patients received the 4(th) monthly injection of CAB + RPV LA (interim) (N=24). Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) guided the interviews to evaluate barriers and facilitators to implementation. Interviews were recorded, transcribed, and coded using ATLAS.ti then analyzed for trends. RESULTS: At BL, 58% of study staff expected CAB+RPV LA would meet the needs of patients. Staff reported perceived advantages for patients: reduced stigma of pill bottles (38%), ability to live/travel in a “carefree” manner (31%) and removing the daily reminder of HIV (20%). At BL, most administrators had resource concerns: additional refrigeration, transportation, and staffing. Some clinics (38%) needed to purchase a refrigerator to store CAB+RPV LA. Some physicians noted a potential need for improved parking or expanded hours. At interim, most staff (71%) reported no change in official clinic hours; but 50% of injectors and 38% of administrators reported changing work hours to accommodate injection visits before clinic or at lunchtime. Existing appointment reminder systems and transportation support were reported as facilitators to implementation. Many staff (46%) noted additional visits increased coordination of other care needs. Most staff (67%) noted high patient acceptance and positive attitudes facilitated successful implementation of CAB + RPV LA. CONCLUSION: Some staff had concerns about implementation initially, but at study interim minimal practice changes were needed to operationalize CAB+RPV LA effectively. Patient interest heightened staff desire to implement CAB+RPV LA in their clinics. Staff are optimistic that monthly CAB+RPV LA is manageable with minimal disruption to routine care in US HIV care settings.
