简要总结
This is a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized two-phase study to evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetics (PK) of two TAF/EVG inserts administered rectally for 3 consecutive days, then every other day for 14 days.
详细描述
The purpose of this study is to collect data regarding the safety and pharmacokinetics of repeat dosing schedules of TAF and EVG administered rectally to inform the development of future studies to assess the efficacy of this drug combination and mode of administration for use as on-demand PrEP in individuals at risk of acquiring HIV-1 infection.
Eligible participants will be stratified according to sex assigned at birth and then randomized 1:1 to either receive TAF/EVG inserts or placebo for self-administration during the study phases. During Phase 1, participants will self-administer two TAF/EVG or placebo rectal inserts for 3 consecutive days and return to the clinic at 24, 48, and 72 hours after the last dose for biological sample collection. During Phase 2, participants will administer two TAF/EVG or placebo rectal inserts every other day for 7 doses and return to the clinic at 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours and 7 days after the final dose for biological sample collection. There will be a washout period of 7 to 28 days between the study phases.

- •Current or chronic history of kidney disease or CrCl <60 ml/min
- •History of inflammatory bowel disease or other inflammatory, infiltrative, infectious, or vascular condition of the lower GI tract which at the judgement of the investigator, may be worsened by study procedures or may significantly distort the anatomy of the distal large bowel.
- •Significant laboratory abnormalities at baseline, including but not limited to:
- •Hemoglobin ≤ 10 g/dL

- •PTT > 1.5x ULN or International normalized ratio (INR) >1.5x ULN
- •Any known medical condition that, in the judgement of the investigators, increases the risk of local or systemic complications of biopsy procedures or pelvic examination, including but not limited to:
- •Uncontrolled or severe cardiac arrhythmia
- •Recent major abdominal, cardiothoracic, or neurological surgery in the last 12 months
- •History of uncontrolled bleeding diathesis
- •Current colonic, rectal, or cervicovaginal perforation, fistula, or malignancy
- •Current symptoms or evidence on clinical examination of ulcerative, suppurative, or proliferative lesions of the cervicovaginal and/or anorectal mucosa
- •Current symptoms or evidence on clinical examination of atypical rectal or vaginal discharge
- •Continued need for, or use during the 14 days prior to the rectal biopsy, of the following medications:
- •Aspirin or more than 4 doses of NSAIDs
- •Warfarin, heparin (LMW or unfractionated), platelet aggregation inhibitors, or fibrinolytic agents
- •Any form of rectally administered medications or agents (excluding lubricants or douching)
