REFNo: HS2475ES
Primary objective:
To demonstrate the non-inferior efficacy of switching to every 2 months (Q2M) intramuscular (IM) injection of cabotegravir (CAB) long acting (LA) plus rilpivirine (RPV) LA compared with continuation of first-line oral ART over 12 months in people living with HIV (PLHIV) with a history of, or at risk of, sub-optimal HIV control.
Secondary objectives:
1) To demonstrate the antiviral activity and the impact on retention in HIV care of switching to Q2M CAB LA + RPV LA compared with continuation of oral ART over 12 and 24 months in PLHIV with a history of, or at risk of, sub-optimal ART adherence or engagement in care.
2) To demonstrate the immunological activity of switching to Q2M CAB LA + RPV LA compared with continuation of oral ART over 12 and 24 months in PLHIV with a history of, or at risk of, sub-optimal ART adherence or engagement in care. This will be measured through change in CD4+ T cell count and incidence of HIV disease progression.
3) To evaluate the safety and tolerability of switching to Q2M CAB LA + RPV LA compared to continuation of oral ART.
4) To assess genotypic viral resistance in participants experiencing protocol-defined confirmed virological failure (plasma HIV-1 RNA >200 c/ml) and its impact on future treatment options including proportion who resuppress on dolutegravir.
