MTN 027

Status:Completed
Phase:I
Principal Investigator(s):Craig Hoesley, MD
Objective:MTN-027 is a multi-site, single-blind, four-arm, randomized, placebo-controlled Phase 1 safety and PK trial of the vicriviroc (MK-4176) VR, containing 182 mg vicriviroc (MK-4176); the MK-2048 VR, containing 30 mg MK-2048; the MK-2048A VR, containing 182 mg vicriviroc  (MK-4176) and 30 mg MK-2048; and the Placebo VR. The combination IVR (MK-2048A IVR) is novel as it combines two different classes of antiretroviral agents - a CCR5-receptor antagonist, VCV (MK-4176), with an integrase inhibitor, MK-2048.  The study will enroll approximately 48 healthy, 18-45 year old women who are HIV-uninfected, non-pregnant, sexually abstinent, and using adequate contraception. Women will be randomized to one of four study regimens in a 1:1:1:1 ratio. The IVR will be worn for approximately 28 consecutive days.   *Closed to follow-up as of 3/7/16*   Last updated May 16, 2021
