The cabotegravir pellet implant with levonorgestrel is a long-acting multipurpose prevention technology implantable product developed by CONRAD combining cabotegravir, for HIV prevention, and levonorgestrel, for contraception, in a biodegradable subdermal pellet system. This product is a low-cost, biodegradable subdermal pellet-type implant system that provides tightly controlled, long-acting sustained release of its payload, is highly tunable, and does not require surgical removal.
Non-ARV/Non-Hormonal Multi-Purpose Vaginal Ring
The non-antiretroviral, non-hormonal intravaginal ring developed by the Oak Crest Institute of Science is a multipurpose prevention technology with a 1-to 3-month duration combining two novel, luminally acting active pharmaceutical ingredients: (1) an anti-viral with unique mechanisms of action against HIV, HSV, and HPV; and (2) a contraceptive and would be a game-changer product for women who desire non-hormonal contraceptives with prevention of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections in a single product. Gathering end-user feedback early in the design phase will be prioritized. First-in-human trials will evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetics of the multipurpose prevention technology.
Dapivirine/Levonorgestrel Extended-Release Monthly Film
The multipurpose prevention technology (MPT) vaginal film being developed by the Rohan Pharmaceutics laboratory at the University of Pittsburgh School of Pharmacy and Magee-Womens Research Institute is a product providing monthly protection against HIV acquisition and unintended pregnancy. Building upon their innovative bioerodible vaginal film platform, this MPT product is being developed as a convenient, low-cost option with desirable features that are informed through end-user acceptability research. The product will undergo formulation optimization, preclinical testing (including studies in animal models such as macaques), IND-filing, and clinical testing in women.
Novel Intravaginal Ring as a Non-Hormonal Contraceptive Multipurpose Prevention Technology (MPT)
The Population Council and partners are advancing the development of a non-hormonal vaginal ring with potential to provide contraception along with broad microbial action against bacterial vaginosis-associated bacteria, HIV, HSV-2, chlamydia, and gonorrhea. This ring will also be designed with the added benefit of promoting vaginal health by helping to maintain optimal vaginal pH and reducing symptoms of bacterial vaginosis.
Dual Prevention Pill (DPP) / TELE
The proposed product is a fixed-dose combination (FDC) tablet of TDF / FTC / LNG / EE indicated for both the prevention of HIV and pregnancy. The product will be supplied as a 28-count blister compliance pack containing 21 tablets of the fixed-dose combination of TDF, FTC, LNG, and EE (a 3-week supply) plus 7 tablets of FTC and TDF (a 1-week supply).
Cabotegravir/Levonorgestrel Long-Acting MPT Injectable
Silica hydrogel-based long-acting injectable delivering CAB and levonorgestrel for 3-6 months duration. Currently in preclinical development.
Ultra-Long-Acting MPT In-situ Forming Implant (ISFI)
First-in-line, ultra-long-acting injectable MPT that offers durable and sustained protection from HIV transmission, high efficacy of contraception, increased user compliance, and the ability to be removed. It consists of a liquid MPT formulation utilizing excipients that form a biodegradable depot after subcutaneous injection (in-situ forming implant (ISFI)).
90-day Pod-type Etonogestrel/Ethinyl Estradiol/QGriffithsin (QGRFT) Intravaginal Ring [EEQ IVR]
A 90-day pod-type MPT IVR for pregnancy and HIV prevention that could reduce both the emergence of ARV-resistant HIV and the concern of potential increased risk of HIV transmission as well as common irregular bleeding complaints associated with use of progestin-only products.
Dapivirine + Pritelivir + Levonorgestrel 3D Printed IVR
Our paramount innovation is use of digital light synthesis – a novel 3D printing process known as continuous liquid interface production (CLIP™) – for rapid, scalable, and cost-effective manufacturing of geometrically and mechanically tunable, rationally designed intravaginal rings as platforms for multi-drug delivery.
Copper Intravaginal Ring (Cu-IVR)
Development of prototypes of long- and short-acting versions of an innovative female-controlled, non-hormonal copper vaginal contraceptive method that may also reduce risk for acquisition of sexually transmitted infections and will be suitable for Phase I human clinical testing.
