Zinc Acetate (ZA)-Containing Gels Provide 24h of Significant Protection Against SHIV-RT Infection

Gel Time of Virus Challenge After the Last Gel (Infected/Challenged) Total (Infected/Challenged) Protection vs Carrageenan P Value vs Carrageenan
4h 8h 24h
MIV-150/ZA 0/7 0/7 2/14* 2/28 89% <0.0002
ZA ND 1/7 3/14* 4/21 70% <0.012
MIV-150 ND 2/7 4/7 6/14 33% <0.5

Data from animals receiving a daily dosing of gel for 2 weeks and dosing every other day for 4 weeks has been pooled.

^

Data from real time controls for each challenge are pooled with data from historical controls.

Depo-Provera-treated Chinese rhesus macaques were challenged with 103 TCID50 SHIV-RT at the indicated times relative to repeated gel application. This virus dose routinely infects 60–65% of placebo/untreated animals.

ND = not done.
