MTN 2018 Regional Meeting

MTN’s 2018 Regional Meeting was held September 22-27 at the Westin Cape Town Hotel in Cape Town, South Africa. Topics covered at the meeting included new studies on the dapivirine vaginal ring in pregnant and lactating women, and the implementation of the REACH study (MTN-034) – a Phase IIa study that will evaluate how adolescent girls and young women use the monthly dapivirine vaginal ring and Truvada as daily PrEP and their preferences for either or both approaches. The meeting also addressed the implementation of MTN-035, a study to assess the acceptability, tolerability and adherence to placebo rectal microbicides in three formulations: a douche, fast dissolving rectal tablet (insert) and rectal suppository.
