Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics (PK) of cabotegravir in neonates exposed to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1.

Interventions

CAB administered once orally on study Day 1 to the Stage 1: Single Oral Dose CAB (Cohort 1) and multiple times to the Stage 1: Multiple Oral Dose CAB (Cohort 2) group. Dose and dosing frequency for Cohort 2 to be determined based on emerging data from Cohort 1.

DRUGIM CAB LA

CAB LA administered once intramuscularly on study Day 1 to the Stage 2: Single IM Dose CAB LA (Cohort 3) group and multiple times to the Stage 2: Multiple IM Dose CAB LA (Cohort 4) group, into the in the anterolateral thigh muscle of participants. Dose for Cohort 3 to be determined based on emerging data from Cohort 2. Dose and dosing frequency for Cohort 4 to be determined based on emerging data from Cohort 3.

Masking description

Open-label study.

Intervention model description

The study will be conducted in a staggered design. There will be 2 stages with 2 cohorts in each. The 1st stage will focus on the oral CAB, the 2nd on the CAB LA injectable. In the 1st cohort at each stage, a single dose will be given. In the 2nd cohort of each stage, there will be a multi-dose regimen. Dose review decisions will be based upon safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetic data from each cohort.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of participants who discontinue the study intervention due to AEs or injection intolerabilityFrom Day 1 up to 2-months post last dose administration (last dose administered at Day 1 to the single dose groups, at Month 1 to Stage 1: Multiple Oral Dose CAB (Cohort 2) group and at Month 6 to Stage 2: Multiple IM Dose CAB LA (Cohort 4) group)An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of a study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention.
Number of participants with serious AEs (SAEs) by severityFrom Day 1 up to 2-months post last dose administration (last dose administered at Day 1 to the single dose groups, at Month 1 to Stage 1: Multiple Oral Dose CAB (Cohort 2) group and at Month 6 to Stage 2: Multiple IM Dose CAB LA (Cohort 4) group)An SAE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that is life threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, or results in death. The severity of events is graded using the DAIDS grading scale, where grades are defined based on numeric criteria as follows: Grade 1 = mild, Grade 2 = moderate, Grade 3 = severe and Grade 4 = potentially life-threatening. A higher grade indicates greater severity.
Number of participants with injection site reactions (ISRs) by severityFrom Day 1 up to 2-months post last dose administration (last dose administered at Day 1 to the single dose groups, at Month 1 to Stage 1: Multiple Oral Dose CAB (Cohort 2) group and at Month 6 to Stage 2: Multiple IM Dose CAB LA (Cohort 4) group)An ISR is defined as an adverse event which is localized at the injection site, typically includes pain, tenderness, erythema, redness, induration, swelling, nodules or pruritus, but may also encompass other reactions. The severity of events is graded using the DAIDS grading scale, where grades are defined based on numeric criteria as follows: Grade 1 = mild, Grade 2 = moderate, Grade 3 = severe and Grade 4 = potentially life-threatening. A higher grade indicates greater severity.
