7. Ethical Guidelines for Clinical Trials  Community engagement  Monitoring of social harms  Informed consent process  Risk reduction counseling  Male/female condoms  Family planning  Management of pregnancy  STI screening and treatment  Testing positive at screening  Counseling and Rx referrals  Participants who seroconvert  Counseling and Rx referrals  Follow-up study protocol  Partnerships/dedicated financing  Treatment for physical harms  Services for study staff  Post-trial access to products

8. Ethical Guidelines Updates  First developed in 2005-06  Review by ethicists, stakeholders  Revisions in 2007-08  Consistent with latest UNAIDS, WHO and country guidelines  Document refers principally to clinical trials in developing world  Currently under external review  Expected publication July 2008

9. Seroconversions – IPM Trials None to date So far conducted Phase I/II safety trials Small sample size (N=130 in Africa) Short enrollment duration (max 6 weeks) Many trials in Belgium (low HIV incidence) Preparing for larger safety trials in Africa IPM 014 A & B (dapivirine gel, N=640, 6 weeks) IPM 015 (dapivirine ring, N=280, 12 weeks)

10. IPM Plans and Approach Participants who seroconvert during trials offered appropriate HIV-related care and ARV therapy Plan to implement in multiple ways: Follow-up study (seroconverter protocol – IPM 007) Guided referrals for HIV care, treatment, support Pre-established partnerships with national/local institutions Dedicated financing if national programs cannot sustain Pursuing additional support from global donors

11. n IPM research centres established in areas where capacity for HIV care & treatment exists Part of site selection and development process To assure sustainability, develop partnerships with national ministries of health, hospitals, universities, etc. n Dedicated IPM financing in the event national programs cannot assume ongoing responsibility Funds independent of IPM business/financial status Insurance company or other mechanisms Approaches to Funding and Delivery

12. Key Challenges Timeframe: participants may not need treatment until years after a trial Migration: how to ensure access for people who move out of the area or country Follow-up: how best to keep in touch with participants & inform them of choices Referral networks: how to ensure their strength over time Sustainability: what is the best approach?
