NCT ID NCT06485154

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study tests a daily combination pill (TLD) as first-line HIV treatment for 100 people who became infected with HIV despite receiving long-acting cabotegravir PrEP in the past year. Researchers will check if the pill can suppress the virus to undetectable levels after 6 months. The goal is to find a reliable treatment option for this specific group.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Tenofovir, Lamivudine, and Dolutegravir (TLD) combination pill

What this could lead to

If successful, this could confirm that a standard daily HIV pill works well for people who get infected despite using long-acting PrEP, offering a reliable treatment option.

What could go wrong

This is a small, single-arm study with only 100 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Drug resistance from prior PrEP use could reduce effectiveness.
