Details

Protocol Title: A Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Phase I/II Study to Evaluate the Safety and Acceptability of Dapivirine Gel 4759, 0.05% 2.5G, A Vaginal Microbicide, Conducted Using Daily Monitored Adherence in Healthy HIV-Negative Women

Status: Completed

Description

IPM 014A is a Phase I/II clinical trial designed to assess the safety and acceptability of one formulation of dapivirine gel (gel 4759, 0.05% 2.5g) as compared to a matching placebo gel in healthy, HIV-negative women in Kenya, Malawi, Rwanda and South Africa. 

The gel was used once a day for a period of six weeks.

The trial used the Daily Monitored Adherence (DMA) design, a model used to help women establish a pattern of routine product use.
