Study 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.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

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 -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

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Plasma -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 regimen, defined as change of a single drug or multiple drugs simultaneously, due to virologic failure to NNRTI or INSTI (defined as a confirmed plasma HIV-1 RNA measurement ≥200 copies/mL after initial suppression to \<50 copies/mL while on first line HIV therapy regimen)
  • Subjects who are currently participating in or anticipate being selected for any other interventional study. Observational studies and intervention studies that do not include treatments are allowed unless they interfere with scheduled visits.
  • Participants receiving any prohibited medication and who are unwilling or unable to switch to an alternative medication
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

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.

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.

Line of therapy

A line of therapy is one course of treatment, which may combine several drugs. First-line is the first course given; second-line follows when that stops working or is not tolerated.

“Two prior lines” means two courses that count separately under the study’s rules — not simply two drugs. Ask the study team if you are unsure how yours are counted.

    the proportion of participants ≥60 years on stable oral ART that switch to CAB LA + RPV LA with plasma HIV-1 RNA ≥50 copies/mL at month 12 in the intention-to- treat exposed (ITT-E) population

    Drug: Cabotegravir LA + Rilpivirine LA

Interventions

  • DrugCabotegravir LA + Rilpivirine LA

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Numer of patients on stable oral ART that switch to CAB LA + RPV LA with plasma HIV-1 RNA ≥50 copies/mL

    Proportion of participants ≥60 years on stable oral ART that switch to CAB LA + RPV LA with plasma HIV-1 RNA ≥50 copies/mL at month 12 in the intention-to-treat exposed (ITT-E) population, per the FDA Snapshot algorithm.

    Time frame: Up to 12 Months

Secondary outcomes

    Time frame: 6, 12 and 24 Months

  2. Levels of HIV-1 RNA Copies (plasma HIV-1 RNA ≥200 copies/mL)

    To determine the proportion of participants experiencing confirmed virologic failure

  3. Number of Participants with experienced CVF (confirmed virologic failure)

    To asses treatment emergent genotypic and phenotypic resistance in participants experiencing CVF. Levels of hiv-1 RNA copies

    Time frame: 6, 12 and 24 Months

  4. To evaluate the immune effects of switching to CAB LA + RPV LA

    Plasma levels of (CD4 and CD4/CD8),

    Time frame: 6, 12 and 24 Months

  5. Number of SAES/SUSAR in patients treated with CAB LA + RPV LA

    evaluation of parameters ensuring efficacy and security of patients, Number of SAES/SUSAR
