The Bottom Line on

Rectal and Vaginal Microbicide

Research

Microbicides

What is a microbicide?

• A product applied topically in the vagina or the rectum that can offer protection against HIV and, ideally, other sexually transmitted infections

• Ideally would have a contraceptive version, and another to allow for pregnancy – ARV/non-ARV

• Formulated as a gel/lubricant, film, or vaginal ring • A rectal microbicide might be delivered via

gel/lubricant, douche/enema, or …Microbicides are still in development

they are not available yet!

An act of unprotected anal intercourse is 10 to 20 times more likely to result in HIV transmission than an act of unprotected vaginal intercourse.

Vaginal microbicide research

South Africa - 2 sites in

KwaZulu-Natal

Phase IIB - 889 HIV- women,

18 – 40

Enrolled May 2007 – Jan.

2009

Vaginally formulated

tenofovir gel

Results July 20, 2010 – AIDS 2010

80% + compliance = 54% efficacy

The trial achieved a

95% retention rate

Vaginal microbicide research

• CAPRISA 004 – YAY

– CAPRISA 008 • Implementation study

underway• Effectiveness/sustainability in

rural and urban clinics• HIV-negative CAPRISA 004

Vaginal microbicide research• VOICE• Phase 2B, randomized, double-blind,

placebo-controlled, 5-arm trial• 5029 women in trial – Uganda, South

Africa and Zimbabwe• Studied daily use of following :

– Vaginal tenofovir 1% gel – Oral tenofovir– Oral Truvada

• Results announced March 2013 26
