Study summary

The pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is an important component in the overall strategy for prevention of HIV infection. Cabotegravir (CAB) is an integrase strand transfer inhibitor currently in development for treatment and prevention of HIV infection. CAB possesses attributes that allow formulation and delivery as a LA parenteral product. CAB is being developed as both oral and long acting (LA) injectable formulations. This study is designed to evaluate the PK, safety, tolerability, and acceptability of CAB LA in adult HIV uninfected Chinese male subjects at low risk for HIV acquisition. Eligible subjects will receive oral CAB during oral phase of the study followed by CAB LA intramuscular (IM) injection during injection phase of the study. Approximately 60 subjects will be screened, of which, approximately 48 subjects will enter the oral phase and 40 subjects will enter the injection phase of the study. The maximum study duration will be approximately 89 weeks including oral phase, injection phase and follow-up phase.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(13)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

HIV

The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.

Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

Hepatitis C tests

Hepatitis C is a virus that infects the liver. An HCV antibody test can stay positive after an infection has cleared (and is occasionally positive without one); an HCV RNA test shows whether the virus is there now.

After treatment, hepatitis C counts as cured when HCV RNA is still undetectable 12 weeks or more after the treatment ended. Studies often accept people cured this way.

Hepatitis B tests

Hepatitis B is a virus that infects the liver. These are separate tests: HBsAg positive usually means a current infection (a recent vaccination can briefly cause it too); total anti-HBc (HBcAb) positive means an infection now or in the past; HBV DNA measures how much virus is in the blood.

Some studies accept a past infection if HBV DNA is undetectable, sometimes with antiviral medicine during the study. Check what this study allows.

Hemoglobin (Hb)

The protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. A low level is anaemia, which can cause tiredness and breathlessness. Measured in g/dL or g/L (9 g/dL is 90 g/L).

Absolute neutrophil count (ANC)

The number of neutrophils, white blood cells that help fight infection, in a given amount of blood. Too few raises the risk of infection.

It is a count, not a percentage of the white cells. Limits are written in units that mean the same: ≥ 1.5 × 10⁹/L is ≥ 1,500 per mm³ (µL). Each lab has its own reference range.

Platelets

Blood cells that help blood clot. Too few raises the risk of bleeding and bruising. A usual adult range is about 150–400 × 10⁹/L (150,000–400,000 per µL); each lab has its own reference range.

INR, PT and aPTT (clotting tests)

Blood tests of how long blood takes to clot. The INR is the prothrombin time (PT) put on a common scale; about 1 is usual for someone not taking a blood thinner.

Criteria often make an exception for people on a blood thinner such as warfarin, whose INR is raised on purpose.

Creatinine clearance (CrCl)

How quickly the kidneys clear creatinine, a waste product, from the blood. A study may estimate it from a blood test with age, weight and sex (often by the Cockcroft–Gault formula), or measure it using blood and urine collected over a set time. Given in mL/min; higher is better.

ALT and AST (liver enzymes)

Two enzymes measured in a routine blood test of the liver. Higher levels can mean the liver is under strain or damaged. SGPT and SGOT are older names for ALT and AST.

Criteria usually give a limit as a multiple of the upper limit of normal (ULN), often higher when cancer has spread to the liver.

Bilirubin

A yellow substance made when red blood cells are broken down, which the liver clears. A high level can mean a problem with the liver or the bile ducts.

Criteria often allow more for people with Gilbert’s syndrome, a harmless inherited condition that raises bilirubin.

ULN (upper limit of normal)

The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.

“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.

    Time frame: Week 5 to 41

  5. Number of Participants With Shift From Baseline in Vital Signs With Respect to Clinical Concern Range: Injection Phase

    Vital signs were measured after participants had rested in supine position for at least 5 minutes. Clinical concern ranges were: systolic blood pressure (SBP) (Low: \<85 millimeters of mercury \[mmHg\], High: \>160 mmHg), diastolic blood pressure (DBP) (Low: \<45 mmHg, High: \>100 mmHg), pulse rate (Low: \<40 mmHg, High: \>100 mmHg). Worst case results are presented. Participants were counted in the worst case category that their value changes to (Low, Normal or High), unless there was no change in their category. Participants whose value category was unchanged (e.g., High to High), or whose value became normal, were recorded in the 'To Normal or No Change' category. Participants were counted twice if the participant had values that changed 'To Low' and 'To High', so the percentages may not add to 100%.

Clinical concern ranges were: SBP (Low \<85 mmHg, High: \>160 mmHg), DBP (Low: \<45 mmHg, High: \>100 mmHg), pulse rate (Low: \<40 mmHg, High: \>100 mmHg). Worst case results are presented. Participants were counted in the worst case category that their value changes to (Low, Normal or High), unless there was no change in their category. Participants whose value category was unchanged (e.g., High to High), or whose value became normal, were recorded in the 'To Normal or No Change' category. Participants were counted twice if the participant had values that changed 'To Low' and 'To High', so the percentages may not add to 100%.

SecondaryNumber of Participants With Shift From Baseline in Vital Signs With Respect to Clinical Concern Range: Oral lead-in Phase

Vital signs were measured after participants had rested in supine position for at least 5 minutes. Clinical concern ranges were: SBP (Low \<85 mmHg, High: \>160 mmHg), DBP (Low: \<45 mmHg, High: \>100 mmHg), pulse rate (Low: \<40 mmHg, High: \>100 mmHg). Worst case results are presented. Participants were counted in the worst case category that their value changes to (Low, Normal or High), unless there was no change in their category. Participants whose value category was unchanged (e.g., High to High), or whose value became normal, were recorded in the 'To Normal or No Change' category. Participants were counted twice if the participant had values that changed 'To Low' and 'To High', so the percentages may not add to 100%.

SecondaryHIV-Prevention Treatment Satisfaction Total Score-Injection Phase

HIV-Prevention Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire (change) (HIV-PrevTSQc) was used to assess participant tolerability and satisfaction to the treatment. It consisted total 13 questions. The experience of HIV prevention treatment was assessed using a scale from 3 (much more satisfied/effective/convenient/ flexible/likely to recommend the treatment/likely to speak well of the treatment/easier now) to -3 (much less satisfied/effective/convenient/flexible/likely to recommend the treatment/likely to speak well of the treatment/easier now). Total score was calculated by taking sum of scores of all questions. It ranges from -39 to 39, with higher scores indicating more satisfaction.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Apr 2018 to primary completion in Apr 2020, 24 months.

Results were first posted in May 2021, 1 year after primary completion.

Of 74 industry-sponsored phase 1 interventional studies under HIV Infections, half reached primary completion within 5 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 2 and three quarters within 18. This study's 24 months is above that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 165 studies reached it within 19 months; a quarter within 7 and three quarters within 33.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on May 13, 2021, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
