What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Safety: To assess the safety and tolerability of the combination maraviroc and dapivirine gel, the endpoint was the proportion of women in the four arms experiencing specific, protocol defined safety events during the study (see description).

    • Mucosal abnormalities (as defined in the WHO/CONRAD manual) visible during naked eye examination and/or colposcopy;
    • Abnormal vaginal pH and/or abnormal vaginal flora during the course of the trial;
    • Positive diagnostic tests for trichomonas, gonorrhoea and/or chlamydia;
    • At least one adverse event during the 2 month trial period;
    • Any laboratory abnormalities on haematology, electrolytes, liver function, and renal function.

    Measured: 8 weeks

  2. Pharmacokinetics: assessment of local and systemic pharmacokinetics of maraviroc and dapivirine in plasma, vaginal fluid and cervical tissue before, during and after 11 days.

    Measured: 8 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Maraviroc/Dapivirine Gel, Dapivirine Vaginal Gel and Maraviroc Vaginal Gel in people with HIV Infections, run by International Partnership for Microbicides, Inc..

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 20 inclusion and 16 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Sep 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Safety: To assess the safety and tolerability of the combination maraviroc and dapivirine gel, the endpoint was the proportion of women in the four arms experiencing specific, protocol defined safety events during the study (see description). (time frame: 8 weeks). 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?
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 9 Sep 2011.
