Description: Solid, tablet-like dosage form for dual-compartment (vaginal or rectal) on-demand use. Studies in non-human primates demonstrate proof-of-concept that a single TAF/EVG insert dosed vaginally several hours either before or after SHIV exposure provides strong protection. A Phase I study to assess safety, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of the TAF/EVG insert administered vaginally (CONRAD A18-146) was completed in early 2019; dissemination of results is planned mid-2020. A Phase 1 study to assess rectal administration of the TAF/EVG insert (MTN-039) was initiated in late 2019 and is ongoing. A placebo form of this insert was also evaluated in two international, multi-site acceptability studies, including the Quatro study, comparing four vaginal dosage forms in African women, and the MTN-035 (DESIRE) study, comparing three different rectal dosage forms.
