HIV treatment breakthrough: monthly shots could replace daily pills

NCT ID NCT02951052

Ongoing Disease control Sponsor: ViiV Healthcare Source: ClinicalTrials.gov ↗

Summary

This study tested if switching from daily HIV pills to a monthly injection of two drugs (cabotegravir and rilpivirine) keeps the virus under control just as well. It involved 618 adults whose HIV was already suppressed on their current medication. The goal was to see if the injections are a safe and effective long-term option, offering more convenience than daily pills.
