Strategies implemented for accurate dispensing of an investigational new drug in a multi-site HIV prevention clinical trial
Safe practices for dispensing investigational product (IP) during clinical trials are not standardized and information in this regard is often limited. ASPIRE was a Phase 3 safety and effectiveness trial of a vaginal matrix ring containing 25 mg of dapivirine for the prevention of HIV-1 in women. Th...

ASPIRE was a Phase 3 safety and effectiveness trial of a vaginal matrix ring containing 25 mg of dapivirine for the prevention of HIV-1 in women. The study enrolled 2629 women at 15 clinical research sites in Malawi, Uganda, South Africa and Zimbabwe who were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either a vaginal ring containing 25 mg of dapivirine or a matching placebo vaginal ring.
