MTN-030/IPM 041 was a Phase I trial of a vaginal ring containing the ARV drug dapivirine and the contraceptive hormone levonorgestrel that assessed the ring’s safety as well as absorption patterns of dapivirine and different dosages of levonorgestrel in vaginal tissue and in blood. MTN-030/IPM 041, which was conducted at two U.S. sites, found the ring was well-tolerated with no safety concerns. The study represented an important first step toward developing a product for women that could both protect against HIV and prevent unintended pregnancy.
