RESUMO

Cabotegravir intramuscular gluteal injection is approved for HIV treatment (with rilpivirine) and prevention. Thigh muscle is a potential alternative injection site. We aim to characterize cabotegravir pharmacokinetics and its association with demographics following intramuscular thigh injection in comparison with gluteal injection using population pharmacokinetic (PPK) analysis. Fourteen HIV-negative participants received 600 mg single thigh injection in phase 1 study 208832 and 118 participants with HIV received thigh injections 400 mg monthly 4× or 600 mg once-every-2-months 2× after ≥3 years of gluteal injections in phase 3b study ATLAS-2M provided 1,249 cabotegravir concentrations from 366 thigh injections and 1,998 concentrations from 1,618 gluteal injections. The established gluteal PPK model was modified by adding thigh injection compartment and fit to pharmacokinetic data following both gluteal and thigh injections, enabling within-person comparison in ATLAS-2M. Gluteal parameters were fixed. Similar to the gluteal absorption rate constant (KAgluteal), the thigh absorption rate constant (KAthigh) was slower in females than males and in participants with higher BMI. KAthigh was strongly correlated with KAgluteal (correlation coefficient 0.766), best described by the additive linear relationship KAthigh = KAgluteal + 0.0002527 h-1. Terminal half-life of thigh injection was 26% (male) and 39% (female) shorter than gluteal injection. Relative bioavailability of thigh to gluteal was estimated to be 89.9%. The impact of covariates on cabotegravir exposure following thigh injections was ≤35%. In conclusion, cabotegravir absorption following thigh injection was correlated with, faster than, and 10% less bioavailable than gluteal injection, and correlated with sex and BMI. The cabotegravir thigh PPK model can inform dosing strategies and future study design.

RESUMO

Cabotegravir + rilpivirine administered via intramuscular gluteal injections is the first complete long-acting (LA) regimen approved for maintaining HIV-1 virologic suppression. The vastus lateralis (lateral) thigh muscle could be a potential alternative site of administration in circumstances such as injection site fatigue, intolerability, or contraindication for gluteal administration. Cabotegravir and rilpivirine pharmacokinetics and participant tolerability were evaluated following single intramuscular injections to the lateral thigh. Healthy adult participants received 4 weeks of daily oral cabotegravir (30 mg) and rilpivirine (25 mg), followed by a 10- to 14-day washout and single 3 mL intramuscular injections of cabotegravir LA 600 mg and rilpivirine LA 900 mg to the lateral thigh. Safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics were evaluated through 52 weeks post injection. Pharmacokinetic parameters were estimated using non-compartmental analysis. Fifteen participants (female at birth, n = 6) enrolled. Median age was 33 years. Median weight was 93.6 kg. Median body mass index was 31.4 kg/m2. One participant withdrew due to pregnancy after oral dosing before receiving an injection. Plasma concentrations at Weeks 4 and 8 were 15.4- and 5.3-fold above the protein-adjusted 90% inhibitory concentration for cabotegravir and 4.7- and 2.4-fold for rilpivirine, respectively. The most common injection site reactions were pain [28/28 (100%)], induration [15/28 (54%)], and swelling [12/28 (42%)]; 94% were Grade 1 or 2. Cabotegravir and rilpivirine plasma pharmacokinetic profiles observed in this study support further evaluation of thigh administration in target populations of people living with HIV-1. Tolerability of cabotegravir + rilpivirine LA intramuscular lateral thigh injections was similar to gluteal administration.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Cabotegravir (CAB) + rilpivirine (RPV) dosed intramuscularly monthly or every 2 months is a complete, long-acting (LA) regimen for the maintenance of HIV-1 virologic suppression. Here, we report the antiretroviral therapy as long acting suppression (ATLAS)-2M study week 152 results. METHODS: ATLAS-2M is a phase 3b, randomized, multicenter study assessing the efficacy and safety of CAB+RPV LA every 8 weeks (Q8W) versus every 4 weeks (Q4W). Virologically suppressed (HIV-1 RNA <50 copies/mL) individuals were randomized to receive CAB+RPV LA Q8W or Q4W. Endpoints included the proportion of participants with plasma HIV-1 RNA ≥50 copies/mL and <50 copies/mL, incidence of confirmed virologic failure (CVF; 2 consecutive measurements ≥200 copies/mL), safety, and tolerability. RESULTS: A total of 1045 participants received CAB+RPV LA (Q8W, n = 522; Q4W, n = 523). CAB+RPV LA Q8W demonstrated noninferior efficacy versus Q4W dosing, with 2.7% (n = 14) and 1.0% (n = 5) of participants having HIV-1 RNA ≥50 copies/mL, respectively, with adjusted treatment difference being 1.7% (95% CI: 0.1-3.3%), meeting the 4% noninferiority threshold. At week 152, 87% of participants maintained HIV-1 RNA <50 copies/mL (Q8W, 87% [n = 456]; Q4W, 86% [n = 449]). Overall, 12 (2.3%) participants in the Q8W arm and 2 (0.4%) in the Q4W arm had CVF. Eight and 10 participants with CVF had treatment-emergent, resistance-associated mutations to RPV and integrase inhibitors, respectively. Safety profiles were comparable, with no new safety signals observed since week 48. CONCLUSIONS: These data demonstrate virologic suppression durability with CAB+RPV LA Q8W or Q4W for ∼3 years and confirm long-term efficacy, safety, and tolerability of CAB+RPV LA as a complete regimen to maintain HIV-1 virologic suppression.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Previously reported post hoc multivariable analyses exploring predictors of confirmed virologic failure (CVF) with cabotegravir + rilpivirine long-acting (CAB + RPV LA) were expanded to include data beyond week 48, additional covariates, and additional participants. METHODS: Pooled data from 1651 participants were used to explore dosing regimen (every 4 or every 8 weeks), demographic, viral, and pharmacokinetic covariates as potential predictors of CVF. Prior dosing regimen experience was accounted for using 2 populations. Two models were conducted in each population-baseline factor analyses exploring factors known at baseline and multivariable analyses exploring baseline factors plus postbaseline model-predicted CAB/RPV trough concentrations (4 and 44 weeks postinjection). Retained factors were evaluated to understand their contribution to CVF (alone or in combination). RESULTS: Overall, 1.4% (n = 23/1651) of participants had CVF through 152 weeks. The presence of RPV resistance-associated mutations, human immunodeficiency virus-1 subtype A6/A1, and body mass index ≥30 kg/m2 were associated with an increased risk of CVF (P < .05 adjusted incidence rate ratio), with participants with ≥2 of these baseline factors having a higher risk of CVF. Lower model-predicted CAB/RPV troughs were additional factors retained for multivariable analyses. CONCLUSIONS: The presence of ≥2 baseline factors (RPV resistance-associated mutations, A6/A1 subtype, and/or body mass index ≥30 kg/m2) was associated with increased CVF risk, consistent with prior analyses. Inclusion of initial model-predicted CAB/RPV trough concentrations (≤first quartile) did not improve the prediction of CVF beyond the presence of a combination of ≥2 baseline factors, reinforcing the clinical utility of the baseline factors in the appropriate use of CAB + RPV LA.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Oral pre-exposure prophylaxis has been introduced in more than 70 countries, including many in sub-Saharan Africa, but women experience considerable barriers to daily pill-taking, such as stigma, judgement, and the fear of violence. Safe and effective long-acting agents for HIV prevention are needed for women. We aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of injectable cabotegravir compared with daily oral tenofovir diphosphate plus emtricitabine (TDF-FTC) for HIV prevention in HIV-uninfected women. METHODS: HPTN 084 was a phase 3, randomised, double-blind, double-dummy, active-controlled, superiority trial in 20 clinical research sites in seven countries in sub-Saharan Africa. Participants were eligible for enrolment if they were assigned female sex at birth, were aged 18-45 years, reported at least two episodes of vaginal intercourse in the previous 30 days, were at risk of HIV infection based on an HIV risk score, and agreed to use a long-acting reversible contraceptive method. Participants were randomly assigned (1:1) to either active cabotegravir with TDF-FTC placebo (cabotegravir group) or active TDF-FTC with cabotegravir placebo (TDF-FTC group). Study staff and participants were masked to study group allocation, with the exception of the site pharmacist who was responsible for study product preparation. Participants were prescribed 5 weeks of daily oral product followed by intramuscular injections every 8 weeks after an initial 4-week interval load, alongside daily oral pills. Participants who discontinued injections were offered open-label daily TDF-FTC for 48 weeks. The primary endpoints of the study were incident HIV infection in the intention-to-treat population, and clinical and laboratory events that were grade 2 or higher in all women who had received at least one dose of study product. This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03164564. FINDINGS: From Nov 27, 2017, to Nov 4, 2020, we enrolled 3224 participants (1614 in the cabotegravir group and 1610 in the TDF-FTC group). Median age was 25 years (IQR 22-30); 1755 (54·7%) of 3209 had two or more partners in the preceding month. 40 incident infections were observed over 3898 person-years (HIV incidence 1·0% [95% CI 0·73-1·40]); four in the cabotegravir group (HIV incidence 0·2 cases per 100 person-years [0·06-0·52]) and 36 in the TDF-FTC group (1·85 cases per 100 person-years [1·3-2·57]; hazard ratio 0·12 [0·05-0·31]; p<0·0001; risk difference -1·6% [-1·0% to -2·3%]. In a random subset of 405 TDF-FTC participants, 812 (42·1%) of 1929 plasma samples had tenofovir concentrations consistent with daily use. Injection coverage was 93% of the total number of person-years. Adverse event rates were similar across both groups, apart from injection site reactions, which were more frequent in the cabotegravir group than in the TDF-FTC group (577 [38·0%] of 1519 vs 162 [10·7%] of 1516]) but did not result in injection discontinuation. Confirmed pregnancy incidence was 1·3 per 100 person-years (0·9-1·7); no congenital birth anomalies were reported. INTERPRETATION: Although both products for HIV prevention were generally safe, well tolerated, and effective, cabotegravir was superior to TDF-FTC in preventing HIV infection in women.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Long-acting injectable regimens may simplify therapy for patients with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection. METHODS: We conducted a phase 3, randomized, open-label trial in which adults with HIV-1 infection who had not previously received antiretroviral therapy were given 20 weeks of daily oral induction therapy with dolutegravir-abacavir-lamivudine. Participants who had an HIV-1 RNA level of less than 50 copies per milliliter after 16 weeks were randomly assigned (1:1) to continue the current oral therapy or switch to oral cabotegravir plus rilpivirine for 1 month followed by monthly injections of long-acting cabotegravir plus rilpivirine. The primary end point was the percentage of participants who had an HIV-1 RNA level of 50 copies per milliliter or higher at week 48 (Food and Drug Administration snapshot algorithm). RESULTS: At week 48, an HIV-1 RNA level of 50 copies per milliliter or higher was found in 6 of 283 participants (2.1%) who received long-acting therapy and in 7 of 283 (2.5%) who received oral therapy (adjusted difference, -0.4 percentage points; 95% confidence interval [CI], -2.8 to 2.1), a result that met the criterion for noninferiority for the primary end point (margin, 6 percentage points). An HIV-1 RNA level of less than 50 copies per milliliter at week 48 was found in 93.6% who received long-acting therapy and in 93.3% who received oral therapy (adjusted difference, 0.4 percentage points; 95% CI, -3.7 to 4.5), a result that met the criterion for noninferiority for this end point (margin, -10 percentage points). Of the participants who received long-acting therapy, 86% reported injection-site reactions (median duration, 3 days; mild or moderate severity, 99% of cases); 4 participants withdrew from the trial for injection-related reasons. Grade 3 or higher adverse events and events that met liver-related stopping criteria occurred in 11% and 2%, respectively, who received long-acting therapy and in 4% and 1% who received oral therapy. Treatment satisfaction increased after participants switched to long-acting therapy; 91% preferred long-acting therapy at week 48. CONCLUSIONS: Therapy with long-acting cabotegravir plus rilpivirine was noninferior to oral therapy with dolutegravir-abacavir-lamivudine with regard to maintaining HIV-1 suppression. Injection-site reactions were common. (Funded by ViiV Healthcare and Janssen; FLAIR ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT02938520.).

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Simplified regimens for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection may increase patient satisfaction and facilitate adherence. METHODS: In this phase 3, open-label, multicenter, noninferiority trial involving patients who had had plasma HIV-1 RNA levels of less than 50 copies per milliliter for at least 6 months while taking standard oral antiretroviral therapy, we randomly assigned participants (1:1) to either continue their oral therapy or switch to monthly intramuscular injections of long-acting cabotegravir, an HIV-1 integrase strand-transfer inhibitor, and long-acting rilpivirine, a nonnucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitor. The primary end point was the percentage of participants with an HIV-1 RNA level of 50 copies per milliliter or higher at week 48, determined with the use of the Food and Drug Administration snapshot algorithm. RESULTS: Treatment was initiated in 308 participants per group. At week 48, HIV-1 RNA levels of 50 copies per milliliter or higher were found in 5 participants (1.6%) receiving long-acting therapy and in 3 (1.0%) receiving oral therapy (adjusted difference, 0.6 percentage points; 95% confidence interval [CI], -1.2 to 2.5), a result that met the criterion for noninferiority for the primary end point (noninferiority margin, 6 percentage points). An HIV-1 RNA level of less than 50 copies per milliliter at week 48 was found in 92.5% of participants receiving long-acting therapy and in 95.5% of those receiving oral therapy (adjusted difference, -3.0 percentage points; 95% CI, -6.7 to 0.7), a result that met the criterion for noninferiority for this end point (noninferiority margin, -10 percentage points). Virologic failure was confirmed in 3 participants who received long-acting therapy and 4 participants who received oral therapy. Adverse events were more common in the long-acting-therapy group and included injection-site pain, which occurred in 231 recipients (75%) of long-acting therapy and was mild or moderate in most cases; 1% withdrew because of this event. Serious adverse events were reported in no more than 5% of participants in each group. CONCLUSIONS: Monthly injections of long-acting cabotegravir and rilpivirine were noninferior to standard oral therapy for maintaining HIV-1 suppression. Injection-related adverse events were common but only infrequently led to medication withdrawal. (Funded by ViiV Healthcare and Janssen; ATLAS ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT02951052.).

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Limited data exist on pregnant women living with HIV exposed to cabotegravir + rilpivirine (CAB + RPV). Outcomes in pregnant participants exposed to CAB + RPV, and pharmacokinetic washout data in those exposed to CAB + RPV long-acting (LA) with live births, are presented. METHODS: Women exposed to one or more doses of CAB + RPV (oral/LA) from ViiV Healthcare-sponsored phase 2b/3/3b clinical trials and the compassionate use programme who became pregnant were included. Upon pregnancy in the trial programme, CAB + RPV was discontinued, an alternative antiretroviral regimen was initiated, and quarterly pharmacokinetic sampling for 52 weeks post-last injection was obtained. CAB + RPV continuation or alternative antiretroviral regimen initiation was decided by pregnant compassionate use programme participants and their treating physicians. RESULTS: As of 31 March 2021, 25 pregnancies following CAB + RPV exposure at conception were reported (five oral, 20 LA), including four who conceived during pharmacokinetic washout following treatment discontinuation. There were eight elective abortions, six miscarriages (five in first trimester), one ectopic pregnancy, and 10 live births (one oral, nine LA), including one infant born with congenital ptosis. Among participants exposed to CAB + RPV LA at conception with live births, plasma CAB and RPV washout concentrations during pregnancy were within the range of those observed in non-pregnant women. CONCLUSION: In this first analysis of pregnancy outcomes following CAB + RPV exposure at conception, 10 live births, including one with congenital anomaly, were reported. Plasma CAB and RPV washout concentrations during pregnancy were within the range of those in non-pregnant women. Pregnancy surveillance within ViiV Healthcare-sponsored clinical trials is ongoing, with dedicated pregnancy studies planned.

RESUMO

Long-acting (LA) cabotegravir demonstrated superior efficacy versus daily oral standard-of-care for HIV-1 preexposure prophylaxis. This phase 1 study assessed safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and acceptability of cabotegravir in 47 HIV-negative adult Chinese men at low risk of acquiring HIV-1. Participants received once-daily oral cabotegravir 30 mg for 4 weeks and, after a 1-week washout, five 600-mg (3-mL) intramuscular cabotegravir LA injections at weeks 5, 9, 17, 25, and 33. Pharmacokinetic plasma samples were intensively collected on day 27 (n = 17) and sparsely collected before each injection until 56 weeks after final injection (n = 47). Cabotegravir LA injections were acceptable and well tolerated. Common adverse events included injection site pain, injection site swelling, and upper respiratory tract infection. No drug-related serious adverse events or deaths occurred. Mean cabotegravir concentration remained above 1.33 µg/mL (8× in vitro protein-adjusted concentration for 90% of the maximum inhibition of viral growth [PA-IC90]) before each injection and above 0.166 µg/mL (PA-IC90) for >32 weeks after final injection. Trough concentrations remained above PA-IC90 in nearly all participants and showed minimal accumulation. Noncompartmental pharmacokinetic analysis was performed. Geometric mean of terminal half-life was 1.89 and 47 days after oral and LA dosing, respectively. Cabotegravir concentrations were estimated to remain quantifiable for 48.7 weeks after final injection. Steady-state area under the concentration-time curve (AUC), peak concentration, trough concentration, terminal half-life, time to peak concentration, and apparent clearance after cabotegravir oral and LA dosing were similar to those estimated in non-Asian men in historical studies. These results support further clinical development of cabotegravir LA in China. (This study has been registered at ClinicalTrials.gov under registration no. NCT03422172.).

RESUMO

AIM: To characterize cabotegravir population pharmacokinetics using data from phase 1, 2 and 3 studies and evaluate the association of intrinsic and extrinsic factors with pharmacokinetic variability. METHODS: Analyses were implemented in NONMEM and R. Concentrations below the quantitation limit were modelled with likelihood-based approaches. Covariate relationships were evaluated using forward addition (P < .01) and backward elimination (P < .001) approaches. The impact of each covariate on trough and peak concentrations was evaluated through simulations. External validation was performed using prediction-corrected visual predictive checks. RESULTS: The model-building dataset included 23 926 plasma concentrations from 1647 adult HIV-1-infected (72%) and uninfected (28%) subjects in 16 studies at seven dose levels (oral 10-60 mg, long-acting [LA] intramuscular injection 200-800 mg). A two-compartment model with first-order oral and LA absorption and elimination adequately described the data. Clearances and volumes were scaled to body weight. Estimated relative bioavailability of oral to LA was 75.6%. Race and age were not significant covariates. LA absorption rate constant (KALA ) was 50.9% lower in females and 47.8% higher if the LA dose was given as two split injections. KALA decreased with increasing BMI and decreasing needle length. Clearance was 17.4% higher in current smokers. The impact of any covariate was ≤32% on trough and peak concentrations following LA administration. The final model adequately predicted 5097 plasma concentrations from 647 subjects who were not included in the model-building dataset. CONCLUSIONS: A cabotegravir population pharmacokinetic model was developed that can be used to inform dosing strategies and future study design. No dose adjustment based on subject covariates is recommended.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Cabotegravir is an HIV integrase inhibitor in clinical development with both oral and long-acting (LA) injectable formulations. Cabotegravir is primarily metabolized by uridine 5'-diphospho-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) 1A1, a known polymorphic enzyme with functional variants that can affect drug metabolism and exposure. OBJECTIVES: To investigate the pharmacogenetic effects of the reduced-function alleles UGT1A1*6, UGT1A1*28 and/or UGT1A1*37 on steady-state pharmacokinetics (PK) and safety of oral cabotegravir (30 mg/day) and intramuscular cabotegravir LA (400 mg every 4 weeks or 600 mg every 8 weeks). METHODS: Plasma cabotegravir PK was assessed in 346 UGT-genotyped participants with and without UGT1A1 functional variants across six studies (four Phase I and two Phase II) of oral cabotegravir, including 215 HIV-infected participants who received oral cabotegravir followed by cabotegravir LA. Changes from baseline in total bilirubin and ALT were assessed in one study (LATTE; NCT01641809). RESULTS: Statistically significant (P < 0.05) associations were observed between UGT1A1 genotype and plasma cabotegravir PK parameters, with 28%-50% increases following oral cabotegravir [plasma cabotegravir concentration at the end of the dosing interval (Ctau), 1.50-fold; AUCtau, 1.41-fold; and Cmax, 1.28-fold] and 16%-24% increases following cabotegravir LA administration (48 week Ctau, 1.24-fold; AUCtau, 1.16-fold; and Cmax, 1.18-fold) among those with low-versus-normal genetically predicted UGT1A1 activity. A statistically significant (P < 10-5) association between predicted UGT1A1 activity and maximum change in total bilirubin was also observed (2.45-fold asymptomatic increase for low versus normal) without a corresponding change in ALT. CONCLUSIONS: This modest increase in oral and parenteral cabotegravir exposure associated with a reduced function of UGT1A1 is not considered clinically relevant based on accumulated safety data; no dose adjustment is required.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Cabotegravir (CAB) is a novel strand-transfer integrase inhibitor being developed for HIV treatment and prevention. CAB is formulated both as an immediate-release oral tablet for daily administration and as a long-acting injectable suspension (long-acting CAB [CAB LA]) for intramuscular (IM) administration, which delivers prolonged plasma exposure to the drug after IM injection. HIV Prevention Trials Network study 077 (HPTN 077) evaluated the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of CAB LA in HIV-uninfected males and females at 8 sites in Brazil, Malawi, South Africa, and the United States. METHODS AND FINDINGS: HPTN 077 was a double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 2a trial. Healthy individuals age 18-65 years at low HIV risk were randomized (3:1) to receive CAB or placebo (PBO). In the initial oral phase, participants received 1 daily oral tablet (CAB or PBO) for 4 weeks. Those without safety concerns in the oral phase continued and received injections in the injection phase (Cohort 1: 3 injections of CAB LA 800 mg or 0.9% saline as PBO IM every 12 weeks for 3 injection cycles; Cohort 2: CAB LA 600 mg or PBO IM for 5 injection cycles; the first 2 injections in Cohort 2 were separated by 4 weeks, the rest by 8 weeks). The primary analysis included weeks 5 to 41 of study participation, encompassing the injection phase. The cohorts were enrolled sequentially. Primary outcomes were safety and tolerability. Secondary outcomes included pharmacokinetics and events occurring during the oral and injection phases. Between February 9, 2015, and May 27, 2016, the study screened 443 individuals and enrolled 110 participants in Cohort 1 and 89 eligible participants in Cohort 2. Participant population characteristics were as follows: 66% female at birth; median age 31 years; 27% non-Hispanic white, 41% non-Hispanic black, 24% Hispanic/Latino, 3% Asian, and 6% mixed/other; and 6 transgender men and 1 transgender woman. Twenty-two (11%) participants discontinued the oral study product; 6 of these were for clinical or laboratory adverse events (AEs). Of those who received at least 1 CAB LA injection, 80% of Cohort 1 and 92% of Cohort 2 participants completed all injections; injection course completion rates were not different from those in the PBO arm. Injection site reactions (ISRs) were common (92% of Cohort 1 and 88% of Cohort 2 participants who received CAB LA reported any ISR). ISRs were mostly Grade 1 (mild) to Grade 2 (moderate), and 1 ISR event (Cohort 1) led to product discontinuation. Grade 2 or higher ISRs were the only AEs reported more commonly among CAB LA recipients than PBO recipients. Two Grade 3 (severe) ISRs occurred in CAB recipients, 1 in each cohort, but did not lead to product discontinuation in either case. Seven incident sexually transmitted infections were diagnosed in 6 participants. One HIV infection occurred in a participant 48 weeks after last injection of CAB LA: CAB was not detectable in plasma both at the time of first reactive HIV test and at the study visit 12 weeks prior to the first reactive test. Participants in Cohort 2 (unlike Cohort 1) consistently met prespecified pharmacokinetic targets of at least 95% of participants maintaining CAB trough concentrations above PA-IC90, and 80% maintaining trough concentrations above 4× PA-IC90. Study limitations include a modest sample size, a short course of injections, and a low-risk study population. CONCLUSIONS: In this study, CAB LA was well tolerated at the doses and dosing intervals used. ISRs were common, but infrequently led to product discontinuation. CAB LA 600 mg every 8 weeks met pharmacokinetic targets for both male and female study participants. The safety and pharmacokinetic results observed support the further development of CAB LA, and efficacy studies of CAB LA for HIV treatment and prevention are in progress.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Cabotegravir and rilpivirine are antiretroviral drugs in development as long-acting injectable formulations. The LATTE-2 study evaluated long-acting cabotegravir plus rilpivirine for maintenance of HIV-1 viral suppression through 96 weeks. METHODS: In this randomised, phase 2b, open-label study, treatment-naive adults infected with HIV-1 initially received oral cabotegravir 30 mg plus abacavir-lamivudine 600-300 mg once daily. The objective of this study was to select an intramuscular dosing regimen based on a comparison of the antiviral activity, tolerability, and safety of the two intramuscular dosing regimens relative to oral cabotegravir plus abacavir-lamivudine. After a 20-week induction period on oral cabotegravir plus abacavir-lamivudine, patients with viral suppression (plasma HIV-1 RNA <50 copies per mL) were randomly assigned (2:2:1) to intramuscular long-acting cabotegravir plus rilpivirine at 4-week intervals (long-acting cabotegravir 400 mg plus rilpivirine 600 mg; two 2 mL injections) or 8-week intervals (long-acting cabotegravir 600 mg plus rilpivirine 900 mg; two 3 mL injections) or continued oral cabotegravir plus abacavir-lamivudine. Randomisation was computer-generated with stratification by HIV-1 RNA (<50 copies per mL, yes or no) during the first 12 weeks of the induction period. The primary endpoints were the proportion of patients with viral suppression at week 32 (as defined by the US Food and Drug Administration snapshot algorithm), protocol-defined virological failures, and safety events through 96 weeks. All randomly assigned patients who received at least one dose of study drug during the maintenance period were included in the primary efficacy and safety analyses. The primary analysis used a Bayesian approach to evaluate the hypothesis that the proportion with viral suppression for each long-acting regimen is not worse than the oral regimen proportion by more than 10% (denoted comparable) according to a prespecified decision rule (ie, posterior probability for comparability >90%). Difference in proportions and associated 95% CIs were supportive to the primary analysis. The trial is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT02120352. FINDINGS: Among 309 enrolled patients, 286 were randomly assigned to the maintenance period (115 to each of the 4-week and 8-week groups and 56 to the oral treatment group). This study is currently ongoing. At 32 weeks following randomisation, both long-acting regimens met primary criteria for comparability in viral suppression relative to the oral comparator group. Viral suppression was maintained at 32 weeks in 51 (91%) of 56 patients in the oral treatment group, 108 (94%) of 115 patients in the 4-week group (difference 2·8% [95% CI -5·8 to 11·5] vs oral treatment), and 109 (95%) of 115 patients in the 8-week group (difference 3·7% [-4·8 to 12·2] vs oral treatment). At week 96, viral suppression was maintained in 47 (84%) of 56 patients receiving oral treatment, 100 (87%) of 115 patients in the 4-week group, and 108 (94%) of 115 patients in the 8-week group. Three patients (1%) experienced protocol-defined virological failure (two in the 8-week group; one in the oral treatment group). Injection-site reactions were mild (3648 [84%] of 4360 injections) or moderate (673 [15%] of 4360 injections) in intensity and rarely resulted in discontinuation (two [<1%] of 230 patients); injection-site pain was reported most frequently. Serious adverse events during maintenance were reported in 22 (10%) of 230 patients in the intramuscular groups (4-week and 8-week groups) and seven (13%) of 56 patients in the oral treatment group; none were drug related. INTERPRETATION: The two-drug combination of all-injectable, long-acting cabotegravir plus rilpivirine every 4 weeks or every 8 weeks was as effective as daily three-drug oral therapy at maintaining HIV-1 viral suppression through 96 weeks and was well accepted and tolerated.

RESUMO

1. Cabotegravir [(3S,11aR)-N-[(2,4-difluorophenyl)methyl]-6-hydroxy-3-methyl-5,7-dioxo-2,3,5,7,11,11a-hexahydro[1,3]oxazolo[3,2-a]pyrido[1,2-d]pyrazine-8-carboxamide] is an HIV-1 integrase inhibitor under development as a tablet for both oral lead-in therapy and long-acting (LA) injectable for intramuscular dosing. 2. Metabolism, pharmacokinetics and excretion were investigated in healthy human subjects who received either a single oral dose (28.2 mg) of [(14)C]cabotegravir in a mass balance study, or LA formulations of unlabeled cabotegravir (200-800 mg), intramuscularly or subcutaneously, in a separate study. Metabolism, distribution and excretion of [(14)C]cabotegravir were also investigated in mice, rats and monkeys. 3. Recovery of radioactivity in humans represented a mean total of 85.3% of the dose, including 26.8% in the urine. The mean apparent terminal phase half-life was similar for both cabotegravir and radioactivity, 39 h compared to 41 h. 4. Following oral, intramuscular and subcutaneous administration, cabotegravir was the major component in plasma and the glucuronic acid conjugate (M1) represented the predominant component in urine. Cabotegravir was present in bile along with its major metabolite (M1). 5. The primary metabolite of [(14)C]cabotegravir in mouse, rat and monkey was the same as that in human. In vitro phenotyping experiments demonstrated that cabotegravir was metabolized by UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) 1A1 and UGT1A9.

RESUMO

Cabotegravir (CAB) and rilpivirine (RPV) is the first complete long-acting (LA) injectable regimen recommended by treatment guidelines for the maintenance of HIV-1 virologic suppression in people with HIV-1 who are virologically suppressed on a stable antiretroviral regimen that is administered monthly (Q1M) or every 2 months (Q2M). As an alternative regimen to lifelong daily oral antiretroviral therapy, Q1M or Q2M dosing schedules are associated with increased patient satisfaction and treatment preference. In addition, it may address challenges associated with daily oral dosing, including fear of treatment disclosure or stigma, anxiety related to oral dosing adherence, and the daily reminder of HIV disease status. Cabotegravir + RPV LA is administered by clinical staff as two intramuscular injections dosed Q1M or Q2M. In this review, we share practical dosing guidance for CAB+RPV LA injectable therapy, including how to initiate therapy, schedule injection visits, manage dosing interruptions due to missed or delayed injection visits, manage errors in dosing, and transition to alternative antiretroviral therapy after discontinuation. Practical guidance on the clinical management of CAB+RPV LA dosing, including a detailed discussion using case-based scenarios that may be encountered in clinical practice, is provided. The clinician-administered CAB+RPV LA regimen has dosing management considerations that are flexible and considerate of the patient and has the potential to provide a highly desirable and efficacious alternative to daily oral antiretroviral therapy for many people with HIV-1.


Guidance for clinicians on the management of long-acting Cabotegravir and Rilpivirine Injectable Therapy for HIV-1 Cabotegravir (CAB) and rilpivirine (RPV) is the first long-acting (LA) injectable therapy for people with HIV-1 who previously achieved undetectable virus levels using other HIV-1 medications. People with HIV-1 receive CAB+RPV LA as two injections given by their clinician every 1 month or every 2 months, providing an alternative treatment option to lifelong daily oral medications. People with HIV-1 receiving CAB+RPV LA every 1 or 2 months have higher levels of treatment satisfaction and often prefer CAB+RPV LA compared with daily oral medications. Cabotegravir+RPV LA may also address challenges associated with daily oral medications, including fear of inadvertently sharing HIV status, anxiety related to taking daily medications, and having a daily reminder of HIV. In this review, we provide guidance for clinicians on how to administer CAB+RPV LA injectable therapy, including how to start patients on CAB+RPV LA injections, schedule injection visits, manage missed or delayed injection visits, manage dosing errors, and switch patients to a different treatment if CAB+RPV LA is discontinued. This review also includes a detailed discussion of potential scenarios related to the administration and scheduling of CAB+RPV LA injections that may occur in clinical practice. Overall, this review serves as a practical guide for managing CAB+RPV LA injectable therapy in clinical practice that will be useful for HIV clinicians.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Cabotegravir plus rilpivirine is the only approved complete long-acting regimen for the maintenance of HIV-1 virological suppression dosed every 2 months. The SOLAR study aimed to compare long-acting cabotegravir plus rilpivirine every 2 months with continued once-daily bictegravir, emtricitabine, and tenofovir alafenamide for the maintenance of HIV-1 virological suppression in adults living with HIV. METHODS: SOLAR is a randomised, open-label, multicentre, phase 3b, non-inferiority study. The study was done in 118 centres across 14 countries. Participants with HIV-1 RNA less than 50 copies per mL were randomly assigned (2:1), stratified by sex at birth and BMI, to either long-acting cabotegravir (600 mg) plus rilpivirine (900 mg) dosed intramuscularly every 2 months or to continue daily oral bictegravir (50 mg), emtricitabine (200 mg), and tenofovir alafenamide (25 mg). Participants randomly assigned to long-acting therapy had a choice to receive cabotegravir (30 mg) plus rilpivirine (25 mg) once daily as an optional oral lead-in for approximately 1 month. The primary efficacy endpoint was the proportion of participants with virological non-response (HIV-1 RNA ≥50 copies per mL; the US Food and Drug Administration snapshot algorithm, 4% non-inferiority margin; modified intention-to-treat exposed population) at month 11 (long-acting start with injections group) and month 12 (long-acting with oral lead-in group and bictegravir, emtricitabine, and tenofovir alafenamide group). The study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04542070, and is ongoing. FINDINGS: 837 participants were screened between Nov 9, 2020, and May 31, 2021, and 687 were randomly assigned to switch treatment or continue existing treatment. Of 670 participants (modified intention-to-treat exposed population), 447 (67%) switched to long-acting therapy (274 [61%] of 447 start with injections; 173 [39%] of 447 with oral lead-in) and 223 (33%) continued bictegravir, emtricitabine, and tenofovir alafenamide. Baseline characteristics were similar; median age was 37 years (range 18-74), 118 (18%) of 670 were female sex at birth, 207 (31%) of 670 were non-White, and median BMI was 25·9 kg/m2 (IQR 23·3-29·5). At month 11-12, long-acting cabotegravir plus rilpivirine showed non-inferior efficacy versus bictegravir, emtricitabine, and tenofovir alafenamide (HIV-1 RNA ≥50 copies per mL, five [1%] of 447 vs one [<1%] of 223), with an adjusted treatment difference of 0·7 (95% CI -0·7 to 2·0). Excluding injection site reactions, adverse events and serious adverse events were similar between groups. No treatment-related deaths occurred. More long-acting group participants had adverse events leading to withdrawal (25 [6%] of 454 vs two [1%] of 227). Injection site reactions were reported by 316 (70%) of 454 long-acting participants; most (98%) were grade 1 or 2. INTERPRETATION: These data support the use of long-acting cabotegravir plus rilpivirine dosed every 2 months as a complete antiretroviral regimen that has similar efficacy to a commonly used integrase strand transfer inhibitor-based first-line regimen, while addressing unmet psychosocial issues associated with daily oral treatment.

RESUMO

Background: In the LATTE study, daily oral cabotegravir + rilpivirine demonstrated higher rates of efficacy than efavirenz + 2 nucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) through Week 96 in antiretroviral therapy (ART)-naive adults with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1. We present the results from 6 years of continued treatment with oral cabotegravir + rilpivirine. Methods: LATTE was a phase IIb, randomized, multicenter, partially blinded, dose-ranging study in ART-naive adults with HIV-1. After a 24-week induction phase with cabotegravir + 2 NRTIs, participants with HIV-1 ribonucleic acid (RNA) <50 copies/mL were randomized to receive cabotegravir (10, 30, or 60 mg) + rilpivirine (25 mg) in the maintenance phase through Week 96 and switched to cabotegravir 30 mg + rilpivirine 25 mg in the open-label phase through Week 312. Results: Of 160 participants who entered the maintenance phase, 111 completed the study at Week 312. At Week 312, 105 (66%) participants maintained HIV-1 RNA <50 copies/mL, 15 (9%) had HIV-1 RNA ≥50 copies/mL, and 40 (25%) had no virologic data. Eight participants met protocol-defined virologic failure criteria through Week 312, 2 of whom met protocol-defined virologic failure criteria after Week 144. Six participants developed treatment-emergent resistance to 1 or both agents during the study, 3 of whom developed integrase inhibitor resistance substitutions. Two participants (1%) reported drug-related serious adverse events. Few adverse events led to withdrawal during the open-label phase (n = 5, 3%). Conclusions: Oral cabotegravir + rilpivirine demonstrated efficacy in the majority of participants and an acceptable safety profile through 6 years of treatment, demonstrating its durability as maintenance therapy for HIV-1.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: We had previously shown that long-acting cabotegravir (CAB-LA) injections fully protected macaques from vaginal simian HIV (SHIV) infection. Here, we reassessed CAB-LA efficacy in the presence of depot medroxyprogesterone acetate and multiple sexually transmitted infections (STIs) that are known to increase HIV susceptibility in women. DESIGN: Two macaque models of increasing vaginal STI severity were used for efficacy assessment. METHODS: The first study (n = 11) used a double STI model that had repeated exposures to two vaginal STI, Chlamydia trachomatis and Trichomonas vaginalis. Six animals were CAB-LA treated and five were controls. The second study (n = 9) included a triple STI model with repeated exposures to C. trachomatis, T. vaginalis and syphilis, and the contraceptive, depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA). Six animals were CAB-LA treated and three were controls. All animals received up to 14 vaginal SHIV challenges. A survival analysis was performed to compare the number of SHIV challenges to infection in the drug-treated group compared with untreated controls over time. RESULTS: All six CAB-LA treated animals in both models, the double STI or the triple STI-DMPA model, remained protected after 14 SHIV vaginal challenges, while the untreated animals became SHIV-infected after a median of two challenges (log-rank P < 0.001) or one challenge (log-rank P = 0.002), respectively. Both models recapitulated human STI disease, with vaginal discharge, ulcers, and seroconversion. CONCLUSION: In these high and sustained susceptibility models spanning more than 3 months, CAB-LA maintained complete efficacy, demonstrating robustness of the CAB-LA dose used in clinical trials, and suggesting its insensitivity to multiple STIs and DMPA.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: CUSTOMIZE evaluated the implementation of long-acting (LA) cabotegravir + rilpivirine, a novel healthcare provider-administered injectable antiretroviral therapy regimen, in diverse US healthcare settings. Findings from staff-study participants (SSPs) through 12 months of implementation are reported. METHODS: CUSTOMIZE was a phase IIIb, 12-month, single-arm, hybrid III implementation-effectiveness study conducted from July 2019 to October 2020 at eight US clinics of five clinic types: private practice (n = 2), federally qualified health centre (n = 2), university (n = 2), AIDS Healthcare Foundation (n = 2) and health maintenance organization (n = 1). Eligible patient participants received monthly cabotegravir + rilpivirine LA injections after a 1-month oral lead-in. At baseline, month 4 and month 12, SSPs (n = 3 each per clinic), including physicians, nurses or injectors, and administrators, completed quantitative surveys and semi-structured interviews to assess implementation outcomes (acceptability, appropriateness and feasibility of intervention measures), programme sustainability and SSP perceptions of, attitudes towards, and expectations for cabotegravir + rilpivirine LA. Month 12 data collection occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic. RESULTS: In surveys, SSPs reported high mean total scores for acceptability, appropriateness and feasibility of cabotegravir + rilpivirine LA implementation at baseline (4.43, 4.52 and 4.38 of 5, respectively) and month 12 (4.45, 4.61 and 4.46 of 5, respectively), regardless of clinic type. At month 12, SSPs were positive about the implementation sustainability (mean Program Sustainability Assessment Tool score, 5.83 out of 7). At baseline, SSPs' top concern was patients' ability to maintain monthly appointments (81%); at month 12, 39% had this concern. The proportion of SSPs reporting patient injection pain or soreness as a barrier was consistent at month 12 versus baseline (48% vs. 46%). Most (78%) SSPs reported optimal implementation of cabotegravir + rilpivirine LA in their clinics was achieved in 1-3 months. In interviews, SSP-reported strategies for successful implementation included teamwork, using a web-based treatment planner and having a designated person to track appointment scheduling. In month 12 interviews, SSP-reported structural changes needed for implementation included changing clinic hours and purchasing refrigerators. CONCLUSIONS: In CUSTOMIZE, cabotegravir + rilpivirine LA was successfully implemented across a range of US healthcare settings. Barriers were mitigated with minor process adjustments.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: The CUSTOMIZE hybrid III implementation-effectiveness study evaluated implementation of once-monthly long-acting (LA) cabotegravir + rilpivirine in diverse US healthcare settings. Here, we report patient participant perspectives after 12 months in CUSTOMIZE. METHODS: CUSTOMIZE was a phase IIIb, 12-month study conducted from July 2019 to October 2020 at eight diverse US HIV clinics that enrolled virologically suppressed people living with HIV-1 (PLHIV) on a stable oral regimen to receive monthly cabotegravir + rilpivirine LA injections after a 1-month oral lead-in. Participants were administered quantitative surveys before injections at months 1 (baseline), 4 and 12. A randomly selected subset of participants was interviewed at baseline and month 12. Data collection at month 12 was completed by October 2020 (during the COVID-19 pandemic). RESULTS: At baseline, 109 and 34 participants completed surveys and interviews, respectively; 87% were male; 35% were Black or African American. All participants who remained in the study at month 12 (n = 102) maintained HIV-1 RNA <50 copies/ml; two participants withdrew due to injection-related reasons. Mean total scores measuring acceptability and appropriateness of cabotegravir + rilpivirine LA were high at baseline (4.5-4.6 out of 5) and month 12 (4.7-4.9). At month 12, 74% of participants reported nothing interfered with receiving LA injections; injection pain or soreness was the most common concern (15%). Time spent in the clinic and coming to the clinic for monthly injections was very or extremely acceptable after 12 months for most participants (93% and 87%, respectively), with 64% reporting having spent ≤30 minutes in the clinic for injection visits. At month 12, 92% of participants preferred LA injections to daily oral tablets (3%); 97% plan to continue LA treatment going forward. In month 12 interviews, 24 (77%) of 31 participants reported the COVID-19 pandemic did not impact their ability to receive treatment. CONCLUSIONS: Once-monthly cabotegravir + rilpivirine LA was highly acceptable among PLHIV who were virologically suppressed on a stable antiretroviral regimen and interested in trying LA therapy, with few participants reporting challenges receiving LA injections. Implementation data from CUSTOMIZE suggest that monthly LA injections provide a convenient and appealing treatment option for PLHIV.
