Safety and Pharmacokinetic Study of HIV Prophylaxis Using Antiretroviral Intravaginal Rings in Healthy Women

The broad long term goal of this project is to empower women to protect themselves from HIV
through woman-controlled sustained local delivery of ARTs via intravaginal rings. The
short-term general investigational plan is to evaluate IVRs releasing TDF, TDF-FTC and
TDF-FTC-MVC in healthy women for up to 7 days in an open-label study to determine safety and
drug concentrations in plasma and cervicovaginal lavage and secretions. Additional
exploratory studies will be considered and planned based in part on the results obtained in
this study. The long-term investigational plan is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of
sustained release TDF, TDF-FTC and TDF-FTC-MVC for their ability to decrease HIV
transmission to vulnerable women.
