Researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill won a $1.8 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to develop an implantable drug delivery system for sustained HIV-prevention. The team said it plans to develop an injectable system that steadily releases pre-exposure prophylaxis over long periods of time.
The injectable compound is composed of PrEP, a polymer and a solvent, according to the researchers. Once injected under the skin, the liquid solidifies into an implant that releases drug as the polymer slowly degrades.
