Brief summary

This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of the injectable drug cabotegravir (CAB LA), for pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) in HIV-uninfected cisgender men and transgender women who have sex with men (MSM and TGW).

Detailed description

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the injectable drug cabotegravir (CAB LA), for pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) in HIV-uninfected cisgender men and transgender women who have sex with men (MSM and TGW). This study will enroll HIV-uninfected MSM and TGW at risk for acquiring HIV infection. Participants will be followed for a total of 4 years. This study will take place in three steps. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two arms: Arm A: Step 1: Participants will receive daily oral CAB tablets and daily oral TDF/FTC placebo tablets for 5 weeks. Step 2: Participants will receive an intramuscular (IM) injection of CAB LA at two time points 4 weeks apart and every 8 weeks thereafter and daily oral TDF/FTC placebo tablets to Week 153. Arm B: Step 1: Participants will receive daily oral TDF/FTC tablets and daily oral CAB placebo tablets for 5 weeks. Step 2: Participants will receive daily oral TDF/FTC tablets and an IM injection of placebo at two time points 4 weeks apart and every 8 weeks thereafter to Week 153. In Step 3, all participants (Arms A and B) will receive daily oral TDF/FTC tablets starting at Week 153 (last day of Step 2)/Day 0 (first day of Step 3) and continue for 48 weeks. Participants will attend up to 47 study visits throughout the study. Visits may include physical examinations, blood collection, urine collection, an electrocardiogram (ECG), and rectal swab collection. Some participants may have a bone mineral density-energy x-ray absorptimetry (DXA) scan at select visits. All participants will be transitioned to locally available HIV prevention services, including services for PrEP, if available, at the end of their participation in the study. HPTN 083-01 is a sub-study of HPTN 083. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and acceptability of CAB LA for the prevention of HIV among adolescent males. Participants will receive oral CAB for 5 weeks, followed by 29 weeks on CAB LA, then quarterly visits for 48 weeks after final injection. All participants who have received at least one injection will be followed for 48 weeks after their last injection. Total study duration per participant will be approximately 21 months. HPTN 083-02 is a qualitative sub-study of participants enrolled in HPTN 083. The purpose of this study is to explore potential barriers, facilitators, and potentially modifiable issues related to adherence to clinic visits in the context of injectable PrEP; to learn about preferences and decision making regarding the use of oral versus injectable PrEP, or other biomedical prevention products; and to gather explanatory qualitative data regarding participants' experiences in HPTN 083 to better interpret study results and guide next prevention strategies. Participants in this sub-study will complete one individual semi-structured qualitative interview.

Inclusion criteria

* MSM and TGW, 18 years or older at the time of screening (male at birth) * Willing to provide informed consent for the study * At high risk for sexually acquiring HIV infection based on self-report of at least one of the following: * Any condomless receptive anal intercourse in the 6 months prior to enrollment (condomless anal intercourse within a monogamous HIV seronegative concordant relationship does not meet this criterion) * More than five partners in the 6 months prior to enrollment (regardless of condom use and HIV serostatus, as reported by the enrollee) * Any stimulant drug use in the 6 months prior to enrollment * Rectal or urethral gonorrhea or chlamydia or incident syphilis in the 6 months prior to enrollment * SexPro score of less than or equal to 16 (U.S. sites only) * In general good health, as evidenced by the following laboratory values, which must be from specimens obtained within 45 days prior to study enrollment: * Non-reactive / negative HIV test results. More information on this criterion can be found in the protocol. * Hemoglobin greater than 11 g/dL, * Absolute neutrophil count greater than 750 cells/mm\^3 * Platelet count greater than or equal to 100,000/mm\^3 * Calculated creatinine clearance greater than or equal to 60 mL/minute using the Cockcroft-Gault equation (use sex at birth for calculation) * Although not protocol exclusionary, sites should carefully consider the advisability of enrolling participants with calculated creatinine clearance between 60-70 mL/min, as limited changes in creatinine clearance during study conduct will lead to protocol-mandated product holds and may alter the risk-benefit considerations of study participation * Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) less than 2 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) * Total bilirubin less than or equal to 2.5 times ULN * Hepatitis B virus (HBV) surface antigen (HBsAg) negative * Hepatitis C virus (HCV) Ab negative * No Grade 3 or higher laboratory abnormalities on any laboratory tests obtained at screening, including tests obtained as part of a panel of tests ordered to obtain the protocol-required laboratory test results. * No medical condition that, in the opinion of the study investigator, would interfere with the conduct of the study (e.g., provided by self-report, or found upon medical history and examination or in available medical records) * Willing to undergo all required study procedures

Exclusion criteria

* One or more reactive or positive HIV test result at Screening or Enrollment, even if HIV infection is not confirmed * Active or recent use of any illicit intravenous drugs ("recent" defined as in the 90 days prior to enrollment) * Co-enrollment in any other interventional research study or other concurrent studies that may interfere with this study (as provided by self-report or other available documentation. Exceptions may be made if appropriate after consultation with the CMC.) * Past or current participation in HIV vaccine trial.

BMD z-scores from Hologic instrument scans were standardized by race, age, and gender using the Hologic DXA Reference Data. Male reference values were used for men who have sex with men and female reference values for transgender women. A z-score of 0 represents the mean of the analysis population standardized by race, age, and gender. Higher z-scores in BMD indicate a better outcomes. A z-score of -2.0 or lower is generally considered below the expected range, potentially indicating secondary osteoporosis requiring further medical evaluation.
