A Pilot Study of Vaginal Progesterone to Reduce Preterm Birth Among Women Receiving Antiretroviral Therapy in Pregnancy
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Vaginal Progesterone and Placebo for PreTerm Birth. Completed, enrolled 140 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
More than 1.5 million HIV-infected women become pregnant each year. Approximately half have access to antiretroviral therapy (ART), but all are at increased risk of preterm birth (PTB). Vaginal progesterone (VP) is a promising and cost-effective intervention to prevent PTB that should be studied in this high-risk population. This pilot study will provide critical insight into the feasibility of a phase III trial by determining whether women are willing to participate, to adhere to study drug, and to complete follow-up.
