What is being measured

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

  1. Safety: To assess and compare safety of VRs containing 25 mg dpv, or 100 mg mrv, or 25 mg dpv + 100 mg mrv, the endpoint was the proportion of women in the four arms experiencing specific, protocol defined safety events during the study (see description)

    • Genitourinary events Grade 1 or higher as defined by the Division of AIDS (DAIDS) Table for Grading the Severity of Adult and Pediatric Adverse Events, Version 1.0, Dec 2004 (Clarification dated August 2009), Addendum 1, (Female Genital Grading Table for Use in Microbicide Studies) judged to be related to study product
    • Adverse events Grade 2 or higher as defined by the Division of AIDS (DAIDS) Table for Grading the Severity of Adult and Pediatric Adverse Events, Version 1.0, Dec 2004 (Clarification dated August 2009)

    Measured: 7.5 weeks

  2. Pharmacokinetics: Assessments of systemic and local concentrations of dapivirine and maraviroc in plasma, vaginal fluids and cervical tissue, respectively

    Assessed during and after 28 days' of continuous use of a vaginal ring containing 25 mg dapivirine, or 100 mg maraviroc, or 25 mg dapivirine + 100 mg maraviroc.

    Measured: 7.5 weeks

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Evaluate the acceptability of the study VR in HIV-uninfected sexually abstinent women over 28 days of use

    Participant report of acceptability including genitourinary and emotional (dis)comfort, awareness/feeling during daily activities, ring insertion/removal issues, and willingness to use in the future

    Measured: 28 days

  2. Evaluate the adherence to the study VR in HIV-uninfected sexually abstinent women over 28 days of use

    Participant report of frequency of study VR removal/expulsions (voluntary and involuntary) and duration without VR inserted in vagina

    Measured: 28 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Dapivirine Vaginal Ring, Maraviroc Vaginal Ring and Dapivirine-Maraviroc Vaginal Ring in people with HIV Infections, run by International Partnership for Microbicides, Inc. at 3 sites in United States.

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 11 inclusion and 27 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 10 Sep 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in United States. 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?

Safety: To assess and compare safety of VRs containing 25 mg dpv, or 100 mg mrv, or 25 mg dpv + 100 mg mrv, the endpoint was the proportion of women in the four arms experiencing specific, protocol defined safety events during the study (see description) (time frame: 7.5 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01363037, 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 10 Sep 2015.
