FAQ
We have a potential participant who would like to screen for REPRIEVE. However, the participant is taking colchicine for gout. Exclusionary Criterion 4.2.10 indicates that current use of colchicine is not allowed. Is there a washout period for this drug so that this person can be considered for enrollment?
We recommend a washout period of 30 days between discontinuation of colchicine and study entry. However, if you believe that the delay could affect the potential participant's willingness to enroll in REPRIEVE, we would accept a minimum of 14 days off colchicine.
Do cigars count as smoking when calculating the ASCVD since they are not cigarettes?
For the purposes of the ASCVD risk score calculation, cigar smoking does not count as smoking. Therefore, if your participants only smokes cigars then the answer to the smoking question in the ASCVD risk estimator is "No".
Exclusion Criterion 4.2.2 excludes participants with current diabetes if LDL ≥ 70 mg/dL.
I have a potential participant who has a diagnosis of diabetes mellitus in their chart from 2 years ago. Upon review of this patient's chart, I noticed that they are not prescribed medications for diabetes and their 2 most recent fasting glucose values were <100 mg/dL and HgbA1C was <6.5 %. Can this potential participant enroll in REPRIEVE?
If the fasting glucose and Hemoglobin A1C values that you listed were collected while the patient was not taking any medications for diabetes, then they would be considered to have previous diabetes mellitus (by physician report) that is now resolved. Therefore, exclusion 4.2.2 would not apply to this person as per the note in the protocol:
NOTE: Current diabetes is defined by patient report of physician diagnosis. Subjects with a history of diabetes which has resolved and no longer requires therapy are not considered to have current diabetes, e.g., women with a history of gestational diabetes, steroid-induced or medication-induced.

Help Get the Word Out About REPRIEVE!
There are many ways to promote REPRIEVE in the community. Below are some photos that sites have shared with us recently.

Informational materials about REPRIEVE were recently distributed at a health and wellness fair organized by Healing Our Community Collaborative (HOCC), a support group in the Boston area for women living with or at risk of acquiring HIV.
