Study summary

The purpose of this Phase 2b study is to evaluate the efficacy and therapeutic window of chronically dosed VH4011499 paired with an integrase strand transfer inhibitor (INSTI). This study will explore 4 different regimens of VH4011499 when paired with cabotegravir (CAB) as an initial two-drug regimen.

Inclusion criteria

  • Participant must be at least 18 years of age (or older, if required for adults by local regulations).
  • Screening ≥ 200 cells/µL.
  • Documented -1 infection and screening plasma HIV-1 RNA ≥

    1 000 and ≤ 100 000 copies/mL.

  • Treatment-naïve. Prior use of oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) or oral post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) that is not INSTI or CAI based is permitted.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Participants with acute -1 infection
  • Prior exposure to any HIV-1 capsid inhibitor or any HIV-1 INSTI for any reason is prohibited.
  • Participants with known or suspected presence of major virologic resistance mutations to study drugs
  • Unstable liver disease
  • Participants with co-infection
  • Participant has evidence of chronic active infection
  • cardiovascular disease
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(7)

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.

CD4 count

The number of CD4 cells, a type of white blood cell, in a given amount of blood. It is used to follow how well the immune system is doing in HIV.

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.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

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.

Clinically significant

Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of participants with plasma HIV-1 RNA <50 copies/mL as per FDA snapshot algorithm

    Time frame: At Month 7

Secondary outcomes

  1. Number of participants with plasma HIV-1 RNA <50 copies/mL as per FDA snapshot algorithm

    Time frame: At Month 13 and Month 25

  2. Number of participants with plasma HIV-1 RNA <50 copies/mL as per observed data

    Time frame: At Month 7, Month 13 and Month 25

  3. Change from baseline (Day 1) in cluster of differentiation (CD) 4+ T-cell count

    Time frame: At Month 7, Month 13 and Month 25

  4. Number of participants with injection site reaction adverse events of special interest (ISR AESIs) by grade

    The ISR AESIs will be graded using the Division of Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (DAIDS) grading table Version 2.1, where Grade 1 = mild, Grade 2 = moderate, Grade 3 = severe, Grade 4 = potentially life-threatening.

    Time frame: Through Month 7, Month 13 and Month 25

  5. Duration of ISR AESIs by grade

    The ISR AESIs will be graded using the DAIDS grading table Version 2.1, where Grade 1 = mild, Grade 2 = moderate, Grade 3 = severe, Grade 4 = potentially life-threatening.

    Time frame: Through Month 7, Month 13 and Month 25

  6. Number of participants with serious adverse events (SAEs) by grade

    An SAE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose, resulted in death, was life-threatening, required hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, resulted in disability/incapacity, caused a congenital anomaly/birth defect, or was any other situation identified according to medical or scientific judgment. The SAEs will be graded using the DAIDS grading table Version 2.1, where Grade 1 = mild, Grade 2 = moderate, Grade 3 = severe, Grade 4 = potentially life-threatening, Grade 5 = death.

    Time frame: Through Month 7, Month 13 and Month 25

  7. Number of participants with adverse events (AEs) leading to study treatment discontinuation, by grade

    The AEs leading to treatment discontinuation will be graded using the DAIDS grading table Version 2.1, where Grade 1 = mild, Grade 2 = moderate, Grade 3 = severe, Grade 4 = potentially life-threatening, Grade 5 = death.

    Time frame: Through Month 7, Month 13 and Month 25

  8. Plasma concentrations of VH4011499

    Time frame: Through Months 7, 13 and 25
