Long Acting Cabotegravir Plus Rilpivirine in People Living with HIV-1 Aged ≥ 60 Years for 24 Months.
Spain120 participantsStarted 2025-03-03
Plain-language summary
People Living with HIV-1 (PLHIV) are an important group of patients attending their specialist's and continue growing thanks to efficacy antiretroviral treatment (ART), allowing them to stabilize the HIV-infection and to live a normal life despite the infection. The present study is encouraged to demonstrate that efficacy and security of CAB LA + RPV LA treatment's on this population remains the same compared to younger population of patients. This study also registers some metabolic and hepatic parameters to observe a hypothetical improvement on these parameters, as the population may suffer more comorbidities than younger population and therefore tolerability and convenience gains a huge importance on them. Psychosocial aspects are also very important in these patients as these patients may suffer social stigma, and therefore suffering certain psychological disorders.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Be able to understand and comply with protocol requirements, instructions, and restrictions.
* Understand the long-term commitment to the study and be likely to complete the study as planned.
* Be considered appropriate candidates for participation in an investigative clinical trial with oral and intramuscularly injectable medications (e.g., no active substance use disorder, acute major organ disease, or planned long-term work assignments out of the country, etc.).
* Must be on a stable antiretroviral regimen without present or past evidence of viral resistance to, and no prior virological failure with agents of the NNRTI and INI class.
* Plasma HIV-1 RNA \<50 copies/mL at screening.
* A female subject is eligible to participate if she is not pregnant (as confirmed by a negative serum hCG test at screen and a negative urine hCG test at randomization) and not lactating
Exclusion Criteria:
* Plasma HIV-1 RNA measurement ≥50 copies/mL within 6 months prior to screening. Blips are allowed (increased viral load ≥50 copies/mL but \<200 copies/mL preceded and followed by a viral load less than 50 copies/mL)
* Any drug holiday during the window between initiating first HIV ART and 6 months prior to screening, except for brief periods (less than 1 month) where all ART was stopped due to tolerability and/or safety concerns.
* Any switch to a second line regimen, defined as change of a single drug or multiple drugs simultaneously, due to virologic failure to NNR…
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.
