A Study to Evaluate the Effectiveness of Long-acting (LA) Cabotegravir (CAB) + Rilpivirine (RPV) LA When Given to Participants With Detectable HIV-1
United States, Argentina, Belgium326 participantsStarted 2024-12-02
Plain-language summary
This study will assess how effective, safe, and long-lasting a long-acting antiretroviral therapy (ART) using CAB LA + RPV LA is for people with HIV who still have detectable virus levels despite being on oral ART. The study will also consider feedback from patients on their experience with this treatment.

Inclusion criteria
.Plasma HIV-1 RNA \>1 000 c/mL and greater than (\<) 100 000 c/mL at Screening. 4.Evidence of insufficient virologic response to participant's current oral ART regimen within 18 months prior to study entry according to at least 1 of the following criteria: i.\<1 log10 decrease in HIV-1 RNA or HIV-1 RNA \>200 c/mL at 2 time points at least 4 weeks apart in individuals who have been prescribed oral ART for at least 3 consecutive months.
. Adult participants (\>=18 years old) must be capable of giving signed informed consent as described in the full study protocol, which includes compliance with the requirements and restrictions listed in the informed consent form (ICF) and stated in the full study protocol.

Exclusion criteria
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.
What they're measuring
1
Number of participants with virologic suppression after the CAB LA + RPV LA treatment compared to oral ART
. HIV-1 Subtype A6, if known from historical result.
. Participants who are pregnant, breast/chest feeding or plan to become pregnant or breast/chest feed during the study.
. Unstable liver disease (as defined by the presence of ascites, encephalopathy, coagulopathy, hypoalbuminemia, esophageal or gastric varices, or persistent jaundice), cirrhosis, known biliary abnormalities (with the exception of hyperbilirubinemia or jaundice due to Gilbert's syndrome or asymptomatic gallstones).
. Individuals with both HIV and Hepatitis B virus (HBV) will be excluded from participating in studies where they would not be able to receive appropriate therapy for their HBV co-infection and therefore may be at risk of hepatitis B flare. Exclusion will be determined by evidence of HBV infection based on the results of testing at Screening for HBsAg, HBcAb, HBsAb and HBV.
. History of liver cirrhosis with or without hepatitis viral co-infection.
. Participants with severe hepatic impairment (Class C) as determined by Child-Pugh classification.
. Participants with HCV co-infection will be excluded entry into this study if they are currently receiving anti-HCV therapy at baseline (Day 1).
. Participants determined by the investigator to have a high risk of seizures, including participants with an unstable or poorly controlled seizure disorder.
