ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
Cabotegravir + rilpivirine (CAB + RPV) dosed monthly or every 2 months is the first complete long-acting (LA) regimen recommended by treatment guidelines for the maintenance of HIV-1 virological suppression. This post hoc analysis summarizes outcomes for Asian participants through week 96.METHODS:
Data from Asian participants naive to CAB + RPV randomized to receive dosing every 4 weeks (Q4W) or every 8 weeks (Q8W) in the FLAIR (NCT02938520) and ATLAS-2M (NCT03299049) phase 3/3b studies were pooled. The proportion of participants with plasma HIV-1 RNA ≥50 and <50 copies/mL (per FDA Snapshot algorithm), incidence of confirmed virological failure (CVF; two consecutive HIV-1 RNA ≥200 copies/mL), pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability through week 96 were assessed.RESULTS:
Overall, 41 Asian participants received CAB + RPV (Q8W, n = 17; Q4W, n = 24). At week 96, 83% (n = 34/41) of participants maintained HIV-1 RNA <50 copies/mL, none had HIV-1 RNA ≥50 copies/mL, and 17% (n = 7/41) had no virological data. No Asian participant met the CVF criterion. Drug-related adverse events occurred in 44% (n = 18/41) of participants; none were Grade ≥3. All injection site reactions were Grade 1 or 2; median duration was 2 days and most resolved within 7 days (90%, n = 390/435). CAB and RPV trough concentrations remained well above their respective protein-adjusted 90% inhibitory concentrations (CAB, 0.166 µg/mL; RPV, 12 ng/mL) through week 96.CONCLUSIONS:
CAB + RPV LA demonstrated high efficacy, with no participants having CVF, and an acceptable safety profile in Asian participants through week 96. These data support CAB + RPV LA as a complete regimen for the maintenance of HIV-1 virological suppression in Asian individuals.Palabras clave
