New HIV injection LP-98 tested in small safety trial

NCT ID NCT06560489

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tested a new drug called LP-98 in 40 people with HIV who had not taken any HIV medications before. Participants received different doses of LP-98 as a shot under the skin every two weeks for a total of four doses. The main goal was to check if the drug is safe and how the body handles it, not to see if it controls the virus. This is an early step in finding out if LP-98 could become a future treatment option.
