About this study

Official title: A Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Phase I Study to Compare the Pharmacokinetics of Intravaginal Dapivirine Gel 4750, 0.05%, 2.5g and Dapivirine Gel 4789, 0.05%, 2.5g Formulations and to Assess the Safety as Compared to the Intravaginal HEC-Based Universal Placebo Gel, 2.5g in Healthy HIV-Negative Women.

IPM 012 is a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled phase I study conducted at one research center in Belgium among 36 healthy, HIV-negative women of 18-40 years of age, randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to assess plasma, vaginal fluid and vaginal tissue levels and the pharmacokinetics of dapivirine when applying either Dapivirine Gel 4750, 0.05%, 2.5g or Dapivirine Gel 4789, 0.05%, 2.5g intravaginally for 11 days (1 day followed by a 3 day washout period and then 10 consecutive days); and to assess the safety of these gels as compared to the intravaginal HEC-based universal placebo gel.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Dapivirine Gel 4750, 0.05%, 2.5g and Dapivirine Gel 4789, 0.05%, 2.5g in people with HIV Infections, run by International Partnership for Microbicides, Inc. at 1 site in Belgium.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 9 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Mar 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Belgium. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Serial dapivirine concentrations in plasma, vaginal fluid and cervical-vaginal tissue samples (time frame: 11 days). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00613249, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 27 Mar 2009.
