MTN-030/IPM 041 is a Phase 1, randomized, double blind, multi-site trial. MTN-030/IPM 041 is the first in-human study of a vaginal ring containing a combination of dapivirine and levonorgestrel. The study will assess the safety and pharmacokinetics (PK) of a silicone elastomer vaginal matrix ring containing 200 mg of dapivirine alone or 200 mg of dapivirine and either 32 mg or 320 mg of levonorgestrel. Approximately 24 healthy, HIV uninfected, non-pregnant women between 18-45 years of age will be on study product for approximately 14 consecutive days. Accrual is expected to take 8-10 months. The primary focus of MTN-030/IPM 041 is the collection of local and systemic pharmacokinetic data as well as to collect safety information on the vaginal rings. MTN-030/IPM 041 will also examine what effects, if any, the study product has on participants’ bleeding patterns. Furthermore, MTN-030/IPM 041 will investigate the acceptability of and adherence to this biomedical HIV prevention-plus-contraception method and explore changes in vaginal microflora and biomarkers over 14 days of product use.
