Twice-Yearly HIV shots could replace daily pills
NCT ID NCT07682961
First seen Jul 06, 2026 · Last updated Jul 23, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This phase 3 trial tests whether a combination of two antibodies (teropavimab and zinlirvimab) plus the drug lenacapavir, given as injections twice a year, can keep HIV under control in adults whose virus is already well-suppressed by daily oral medication. The study compares this approach to standard injections of cabotegravir and rilpivirine given every 8 weeks. The main goal is to see if the twice-yearly regimen is as effective at maintaining undetectable HIV levels after one year.
