2023 年11 月14 日– 人口理事會下屬機構IPM South Africa NPC 已獲得加拿大重大挑戰組織頒發的為期15 個月規模的過渡第2 階段獎，以支持將女性用達匹韋林陰道環 (DapiRing™) 在南部非洲和東部非洲推向市場。
DapiRing 是一種使用者控制的陰道環，可降低女性在陰道性交過程中感染愛滋病毒的風險。 環由柔性矽膠製成，可自行插入陰道1個月。 2020 年，DapiRing 獲得歐洲藥品管理局認可，可在 18 歲或以上的女性中使用。 2021 年，DapiRing 受到世界衛生組織 (WHO) 的推薦，並將其納入 WHO 的 HIV 指南。 DapiRing 已獲得南非、尚比亞、盧安達、辛巴威、馬拉威、烏幹達、波札那、納米比亞和肯亞的監管批准，並可透過史瓦濟蘭和賴索託的國家進口許可證獲得。 截至 2023 年 9 月，已售出超過 113,000 枚陰道環。
來自加拿大 Grand Challenges 的資金將支持 DapiRing 的持續市場推廣。 借助這筆資金，IPM 南非將能夠舉辦利益相關者教育會議，讓醫療保健提供者參與完善教育工具，並完成與潛在用戶產生共鳴的最終用戶材料的開發，從而收集盧安達和波紮札那最終用戶市場的見解。 該獎項產生的工具和資源將根據各國當地情況量身定制，並將提供給衛生部、技術工作小組、醫療保健提供者和最終用戶以支持選擇，從而提高人們對預防產品的認識和接受度。 此外，利用這筆資金開展的活動將有助於提高醫療保健提供者對生物醫學愛滋病毒預防、多用途預防技術產品以及處方這些產品所需的能力的認識。
DapiRing 是人口理事會於 2022 年從國際殺微生物劑合作夥伴關係處收購的關鍵資產之一。人口理事會生物醫學研究中心和 IPM 南非共同努力支持與產品開發整個生命週期相關的活動。

Population Council Awarded Grand Challenges Canada Grant to Support the Market Introduction of the Dapivirine Vaginal Ring / Population Council
IPM South Africa has been awarded a 15-month grant to support the large-scale delivery of the dapivirine vaginal ring.
November 14, 2023 – IPM South Africa NPC, an affiliate of the Population Council, has been issued a 15-month Transition to Scale Phase 2 award from Grand Challenges Canada to support the market introduction of the dapivirine vaginal ring (DapiRing™) for women in Southern and East Africa.
The DapiRing is a user-controlled vaginal ring that reduces the risk of HIV infection in women during vaginal sex. The ring is made of flexible silicone and can be self-inserted into the vagina for 1 month. In 2020, the DapiRing was endorsed by the European Medicines Agency for use among women aged 18 years or older. In 2021, the DapiRing was recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) via inclusion in WHO’s HIV guidelines. The DapiRing has received regulatory approvals in South Africa, Zambia, Rwanda, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Uganda, Botswana, Namibia, and Kenya, and is available through national import licenses in Eswatini and Lesotho. As of September 2023, over 113,000 rings have been sold.
The funding from Grand Challenges Canada will support the continued market introduction of the DapiRing. With this funding, IPM South Africa will be able to gather end-user market insights in Rwanda and Botswana by hosting stakeholder education sessions engaging health care providers to refine educational tools and completing the development of end-user materials that resonate with potential users. The tools and resources generated from this award will be tailored to the countries’ local contexts and will be made available to the ministries of health, technical working groups, healthcare providers, and end-users to support choice, leading to greater awareness and uptake of prevention products. Further, the activities conducted with this funding will help build health care provider’s awareness of biomedical HIV prevention, multipurpose prevention technology products, and the competencies needed to prescribe these products.
The DapiRing is one of the key assets acquired by the Population Council from the International Partnership for Microbicides in 2022. The Population Council Center for Biomedical Research and IPM South Africa work together to support activities related to the full lifecycle of product development.
