NCT ID NCT05660980

First seen May 09, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study is for children aged 2 to 12 who have HIV and whose virus is already under control with daily pills. The goal is to see if switching to a long-acting injectable medication (shots every 4 or 8 weeks) is safe, tolerable, and works as well as pills. About 90 children will take part, starting with a short course of oral tablets before moving to injections. The study will measure how the drug moves in the body and track any side effects.
