What is being measured

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

  1. Dapivirine concentrations in vaginal fluid and in plasma, measured at specified time points before, during, and after menses, when no tampons are used, during a 28-day ring use period.

    To determine the effect of menses on the local and systemic pharmacokinetics (PK) of dapivirine, delivered by the Dapivirine Vaginal Ring-004, in healthy, HIV-negative women

    Measured: 28 days

  2. Dapivirine concentrations in vaginal fluid and in plasma, measured at specified time points before, during, and after menses, when tampons are used, during a 28-day ring use period.

    To determine the effect of tampon use during menses on the local and systemic PK of dapivirine, delivered by the Dapivirine Vaginal Ring-004, in healthy, HIV-negative women.

    Measured: 28 days

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Dapivirine concentrations in vaginal fluid and in plasma, measured at specified time points before, during, and after menses when the ring is removed at the onset of menses, and re-inserted after completion of menses for the remainder of a 28-day period.

    To assess the impact on the local and systemic PK of dapivirine, delivered by the Dapivirine Vaginal Ring-004 when the ring is removed at the start of menses, and re-inserted after completion of menses.

    Measured: 28 days

  2. Dapivirine concentrations in vaginal fluid and in plasma, measured at specified time points before, during, and after menses when the ring is removed at the onset of menses, and a new ring inserted after completion of menses

    To assess the impact on the local and systemic PK of dapivirine, delivered by the Dapivirine Vaginal Ring-004 when the ring is removed at the start of menses, and a new ring inserted after completion of menses.

    Measured: 28 days

  3. The residual amounts of dapivirine in used vaginal rings, removed at the onset of menses, where applicable, or on Day 28.

    To assess residual levels of dapivirine in used rings.

    Measured: 28 days

  4. Safety will be assessed through the reporting of AEs, including SAEs, laboratory safety assessments (haematology, biochemistry, and urinalysis), physical and gynaecological examinations, and vaginal flora and pH assessments during the trial.

    To assess the safety of the Dapivirine Vaginal Ring-004 in healthy, HIV-negative women.

    Measured: 28 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Dapivirine Vaginal Ring-004 and no tampons, Dapivirine Vaginal Ring-004 with tampons and Dapivirine Vaginal Ring-004 with no menses in people with HIV, run by International Partnership for Microbicides, Inc..

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 15 inclusion and 16 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 6 Sep 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

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.

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?

Dapivirine concentrations in vaginal fluid and in plasma, measured at specified time points before, during, and after menses, when no tampons are used, during a 28-day ring use period. (time frame: 28 days). 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 6 Sep 2017.
