What is being measured

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

  1. HIV Antiviral Activity of Each of the Cervico-vaginal Samples (Samples Taken From the Vagina Using the Softcup)

    The HIV antiviral activity is the ability of each sample taken from the vagina (cervico-vaginal (CV) sample) to inhibit HIV virus from infecting a specific cell culture.

    The inhibition of HIV in the presence of the CV sample is compared to the inhibition of HIV in the cell culture with no CV sample added. This allows an assessment of the affect that the CV sample has.

    Measured: at 3 hours

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Number of Participants With Adverse Experiences

    Number of participants with any untoward medical occurrence in a subject administered the Investigational Product, irrespective of any perceived causality to that study product

    Measured: Approximately 13 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing 3% SPL7013 Gel (VivaGel) in people with HIV Infections and HSV-2 Genital Herpes, run by Starpharma Pty Ltd at 1 site in Australia.

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 1 inclusion and 2 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 30 Oct 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Australia. 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 combined 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.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 14 Aug 2012). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

HIV Antiviral Activity of Each of the Cervico-vaginal Samples (Samples Taken From the Vagina Using the Softcup) (time frame: at 3 hours). 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 NCT00740584, 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 30 Oct 2018.
