To determine the genitourinary safety of dapivirine gel (0.05%), the endpoint was the proportion of men subjected to dapivirine gel or placebo gel experiencing specific, protocol-defined safety events during the study (see description).
Any evidence of Grade 2 or higher male genitourinary adverse event(s) as defined by the DAIDS AE Grading Table Version 1.0, December 2004 (Clarification dated August 2009), Addendum 2 (Male Genital Toxicity Table for Use in Topical Microbicide Studies)
Time frame: 8 days
To assess the pharmacokinetics in plasma following 7 days of once daily penile application of dapivirine gel (0.05%)
Dapivirine concentrations in blood
Time frame: 8 days
To assess the systemic safety following 7 days of once daily penile application of dapivirine gel (0.05%)
Grade 2 and higher clinical and laboratory adverse events as defined by the DAIDS AE Grading Table Version 1.0, December 2004 (Clarification dated August 2009) and the Male Genital Toxicity Table for Use in Topical Microbicide Studies
Time frame: 8 days
To assess the acceptability following 7 days of once daily penile application of dapivirine gel (0.05%)
Proportion of participants who at their Final Clinic Visit report via the acceptability questionnaire, that they would be very likely to use the candidate microbicide during sexual intercourse in the future
