What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
intravaginal ringDevice
silicone elastomer intravaginal ring containing no drug product
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| A | Experimental | vaginal ring first 12 weeks \& observational safety last 12 weeks Receives: Device: intravaginal ring |
| B | Experimental | observational safety first 12 weeks \& vaginal ring last 12 weeks Receives: Device: intravaginal ring |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
The primary measure of acceptability will be defined as the proportion of women indicating that they would use the study product if it is found to prevent HIV.
Measured: 3 months
The primary measure of safety will be the proportion of women who have abnormal observations during the pelvic/speculum examinations and the proportion of women who experience adverse events
Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Early Phase 1 study testing intravaginal ring in people with HIV Infections, run by International Partnership for Microbicides, Inc. at 4 sites in 2 countries.
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 7 inclusion and 9 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 15 Nov 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 4 sites in South Africa, Tanzania. 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. 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?
Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.
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?
The primary measure of acceptability will be defined as the proportion of women indicating that they would use the study product if it is found to prevent HIV. (time frame: 3 months). 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 15 Nov 2010.
