Brief summary

This study will establish the minimum safety, tolerability and acceptability data needed to support the use of cabotegravir long-acting injection (CAB LA) in an adolescent population, potentially transforming the field of HIV prevention for young people.

Detailed description

The purpose of this study is to establish the minimum safety, tolerability and acceptability data needed to support the use of cabotegravir long-acting injection (CAB LA) in an adolescent population, potentially transforming the field of HIV prevention for young people. This study will enroll healthy, HIV-uninfected adolescents assigned male at birth, including men who have sex with men (MSM), transgender women (TGW), and gender non-conforming people. The total participant commitment for the entire study is approximately 1.5 years. This study will take place in three steps. In Step 1, participants will receive daily oral CAB tablets for 5 weeks. In Step 2, participants will receive a series of five intramuscular (IM) injections of CAB LA, administered at 8-week intervals after a 4-week loading dose (injections at Weeks 5, 9, 17, 25 & 33). A safety visit will follow each injection to ascertain safety data, including injection site reactions. In Step 3, all participants who have received at least one injection will be followed quarterly (every 3 months) for 48 weeks after their last injection. Participants will receive oral TDF/FTC for daily use for 48 weeks or may be provided the opportunity to enroll in a local open label study of CAB, if available. Participants will attend about 18 study visits throughout the study. Visits may include physical examinations, blood collection, urine collection, rectal and oral pharyngeal swab collection, risk reduction and adherence counseling, and behavioral or acceptability assessments.

Count of participants for injection visits in which a participant remains above the 1x (0.166 mcg/mL), 4x (0.664 mcg/mL) and 8x (1.33 mcg/mL) PA-IC90.Concentrations above the 3 PA-IC90 are associated with rectal protection in a non-human primate study, and concentrations above the 8x PA-IC90 are expected to be associated with protection in humans.

Time frame: Measured from the participant's first injection visit up to 8 weeks after the last Step 2 injection visit or Week 41

Population: Includes enrolled participants who receive at least one injection of CAB LA.

Evaluate Rates of HIV Drug Resistance Among Participants Who Acquire HIV Infection During the Study

Data from steps 1, 2, and 3 will be included. The number of cases of drug resistance will be summarized. All cases of drug resistance among incident HIV infections will be described.

Time frame: Measured through participant's last study visit, up to approximately 1.5 years after study entry.

Population: Includes all enrolled participants who seroconverted during the study.

Measure Study Product Concentrations in Enrolled Participants With HPTN Laboratory Center (LC) Confirmed HIV Infection Throughout Study.

For infections occurring prior to (or on the first day of) Step 3, we will include visit level plasma CAB concentrations, for individual seroconverters. For infections occurring after the start of Step 3, we will include visit level plasma CAB concentrations as well as concentrations of TFV and TFV-DP (if applicable).

Time frame: Measured through seroconverter's first Oral visit up through end of study participation (step1, 2, 3)

Population: All enrolled participants who became HIV infected during the study (Step 1, 2 or 3).~Serum concentrations were not collected for this measure because no participants had HPTN Laboratory Center (LC) Confirmed HIV Infection at enrollment or during Steps 1,2, and 3.

Proportion of Injection Visits That Occurred On-time.

Number and percentage of injections given, using the number of injections expected as the denominator. while the number and percent of injection visits (up to 5 per participant) that occur on-time, using the number of injections given as the denominator. This will be presented along with the total number and percent of injections given, among all intended injections (i.e. 5 injections per participant). Those who have been terminated, are HIV infected, or have permanently discontinued study products at the time of visit will be excluded from the number of expected injections.

Time frame: Measured through participant's last step 2 injection.

Population: Includes enrolled participants who receive at least one injection of CAB LA.~By the end of step 2, just 1/8 participants missed their last injection but continued with the study and received a step 3 injection. This participant was counted as having 100% of injections completed with 5 injections. For this analysis, through the end of Step 2, technically 1 less injection was given in this case.

Number and percent of participants experiencing any Grade 2 or higher clinical adverse events (AEs) or laboratory abnormalities from the first injection visit to approximately 36 weeks later regardless of whether participants received all 5 injections.

Time frame: Measured through participant's first injection visit up to 8 weeks after the last Step 2 injection visit or Week 41, whichever comes first.

Population: Includes enrolled participants who receive at least one injection of CAB LA.
