A Randomized Phase 1 Study Evaluating Pharmacokinetics, Safety, and Tolerability of a High-Concentration, Long-Acting Cabotegravir Formulation in Adults Without HIV.

ABSTRACT: Long-acting (LA) cabotegravir 200-mg/mL (CAB200) injections are approved for HIV-1 prevention and as a complete LA HIV-1 treatment regimen with rilpivirine. A high-concentration suspension formulation, cabotegravir 400 mg/mL (CAB400-D), was developed to enable less frequent dosing and self-administration. This phase 1, double-blind, randomized study (NCT04484337) evaluated intramuscular (IM) gluteal, subcutaneous (SC) abdominal, and IM thigh CAB400-D injections (200-800 mg [0.5-2.0 mL]) in adults without HIV, using CAB200 injections as active control. Co-administration with recombinant human hyaluronidase (rHuPH20), topical nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, or topical steroid was evaluated for some SC injections.
