. Age 18 through 45 years (inclusive) at Screening
. Able and willing to provide written informed consent to be screened for and enrolled in the CCN019B study
. Able and willing to provide adequate locator/contact information
. Able to communicate in spoken and written English
. Available for all visits and able and willing to comply with all study procedures and requirements
. Willing to abstain from insertion of anything into the vagina (including receptive intercourse, tampons) for 24 hours preceding the Enrollment Visit and clinical visits where samples are taken
. Not at risk for pregnancy due to use of an effective nonhormonal method of contraception or practice per participant report at Enrollment, and intending to continue use of an effective, non-hormonal method for the duration of study participation. Effective methods and practices are defined as:

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
What they're measuring
1
Evaluate pharmacokinetics by assessing changes in baseline of DPV and LNG concentrations in plasma
Timeframe: 90 days (3 cycles, one cycle is approximately 30 days of continuous use)
2
Evaluate pharmacokinetics by assessing changes in baseline of DPV and LNG concentrations in cervicovaginal fluid
Timeframe: 90 days (3 cycles, one cycle is approximately 30 days of continuous use)

. Pregnant at Screening or Enrollment visits or plans to become pregnant during the study period Note: A documented negative pregnancy test performed by study staff is required for inclusion; however, a self-reported pregnancy is adequate for exclusion from the study.
. Diagnosed with symptomatic urinary tract infection (UTI) or reproductive tract infection (RTI) at Screening or Enrollment visits. Otherwise eligible participants diagnosed with symptomatic UTI/RTI during screening will be offered treatment. If treatment is complete and symptoms have resolved within the 90-day screening window, eligible participants may be enrolled.
. Diagnosed with an acute STI requiring treatment per current CDC guidelines (http://www.cdc.gov/std/treatment/) at Screening or Enrollment visits such as gonorrhea (GC), chlamydia, trichomonas, and/or pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) Note: Genital warts requiring treatment and greater than two disease flares of herpes simplex virus (HSV) within a year are considered exclusionary; however, infrequent HSV outbreaks are not. Genital warts requiring treatment are defined as those that cause undue burden or discomfort to the participant, including bulky size, unacceptable appearance, or physical discomfort. See IPM 056/CCN019B Study Manual for additional information.
. Has a clinically apparent Grade 2 or higher pelvic exam finding (observed by study staff) at Screening or Enrollment, as per the DAIDS Table for Grading the Severity of Adult and Pediatric Adverse Events, Corrected Version 2.1, July 2017, and/or Addendum 1 (Female Genital Grading Table for Use in Microbicide Studies \[Dated November 2007\]) Note: Cervical bleeding associated with speculum insertion and/or specimen collection judged to be within the range of normal according to the clinical judgment of the IoR/designee is considered expected non-menstrual bleeding and is not exclusionary.
. Participant report and/or clinical evidence of any of the following:
. Known adverse reaction to any component of the study product (ever)
