Merck & Co. Inc. said it expects to move ahead with its Phase 3 trial to assess islatravir as an HIV treatment and prevention by early 2021.

The study will look into the once-monthly pre-exposure prophylaxis treatment option in women and adolescent girls at risk of contracting the virus that causes AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa, the pharmaceutical company said Monday.

The company said it is working with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation on the study. The foundation will provide grants to the International Clinical Research Center at the University of Washington Department of Global Health, which is collaborating with Merck on the study, the company said. Merck didn't disclose the amount of the foundation's contribution.
