Microbicides are products that can be applied to the vaginal or rectal mucosa with the intent of
preventing or significantly reducing the risk of acquiring
STIs including HIV

Microbicide Mechanism of Action

Rationale for Rectal Microbicides
Unprotected receptive anal intercourse (RAI) is the highest risk sexual activity for HIV transmission
Men and women in the developed and developing world practice RAI
Murine and non human primate studies have shown proof of concept that rectal application of ARV microbicides can prevent SIV/HIV infection

Early Nonoxynol-9 Studies
Low-dose N-9 gel was not associated with macroscopic rectal and penile epithelial disruption or inflammation, but histologic abnormalities were commonly observed during N-9 gel as well as during placebo gel use. Tabet S et al. Sex Trans Dis 1999
2% N-9 showed rapid exfoliation of the rectal epithelium. Phillips D et al. Contraception 2004

Summary Rectal microbicides are needed for men and
women in the developed and developing world who are at risk of HIV associated with unprotected RAI
RM development has moved from Phase 1 to Phase 2
PK/PD models should increase likelihood of success in Phase 2B/3
Planning for an RM effectiveness study needs to start now.
