Pharmacokinetics of Two Intravaginal Rings (IVRs) Containing Different Dose Strengths of Vicriviroc (MK-4176) and MK-2048

Summary

Intravaginal rings (IVRs) may offer an ideal way to deliver antiretroviral (ARV) drugs to prevent HIV infection. This study will evaluate the pharmacokinetics and safety of two IVRs containing different doses of a combination of two HIV ARV drugs, vicriviroc (VCV) (MK-4176) and MK-2048, in healthy, HIV-uninfected women.
