A Pharmacokinetic Study of Dapivirine Vaginal Rings in Belgium

August 31, 2009 updated by: International Partnership for Microbicides, Inc.

A Double-blind, Randomized, Placebo-controlled Safety and Pharmacokinetic Study in Healthy HIV-negative Women to Assess the Delivery of Dapivirine From Matrix and Reservoir Intravaginal Rings Each Containing 25 mg of Dapivirine

IPM 018 is a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study conducted at one site in Belgium among 24 healthy, HIV-negative women to evaluate dapivirine release for 28 days from matrix and reservoir intravaginal rings, each containing 25 mg of dapivirine, and to assess safety and tolerability compared to placebo
