The Challenge
50 years of contraceptive advances Sheldon Segal First long term drug delivery device Norplant
;Female-controlled MPTs Female CondomSILCS DiaphragmWomen’s Condom
Currently available MPTs Female CondomMale Condom
Emerging MPTs Drug combinations Multipurpose vaccines Drug/device combinations Bacterial therapeutics Nanoparticals
Potential Delivery Mechanisms for MPTs Devices SILCS Diaphragm Women’s Condom Vaginal Rings Drug release rates differ by ring type Matrix rings vs. Reservoir rings Release rates differ in-vitro from in-vivo Vaginal Tablet Combining different class ART Vaginal Film Nontoxic to cells and flora, fast dissolution
Multipurpose Vaccines: the future Today: Single purpose vaccines (HPV & HBV) are commercially available Next 2 decades: Dual-purpose vaccines that prevent transmission of HSV, HIV, Gonorrhea, Chlamydia, Trichomonas or other STIs Contraceptive vaccines not likely
