IPM 005B

Details

Protocol Title:  A Phase I/II Single-Centre Double-Blind, Randomized Study of the Safety and Tolerability of Dapivirine Vaginal Microbicide Gel (TMC 120 Gel-002) vs. HEC-Based Universal Placebo Gel in Healthy HIV-Negative Women 

Status:  Completed

Description

IPM 005B is a Phase I/II trial that assessed the local safety of twice daily dapivirine gel on vaginal mucosa, systemic toxicity and tolerability in 36 healthy, HIV-negative women for 42 days. Product acceptability and adherence were also assessed.

The trial demonstrated that dapivirine gel administered twice daily for 42 consecutive days in healthy, HIV-negative women for 42 consecutive days was safe and well tolerated, suggesting that continued development is warranted.
