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

Summary

This study was designed to test a new system that uses tiny silica particles on HIV medication (Biktarvy) and a smartphone app to help people track whether they have taken their pills. The goal was to see if the system is easy to use and accurate over 90 days. However, the study was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no results are available.
