Summary

This study is a Phase II, prospective, single-arm, multicenter, non-randomized pilot study designed to evaluate the antiretroviral efficacy of lenacapavir in combination with cabotegravir injection over 48 weeks of follow-up in participants who meet the study inclusion criteria. Efficacy is defined as the absence of virologic failure at S48. Virologic success is defined as maintaining or achieving CV \< 50 copies/mL without interruption of long-acting dual therapy with cabotegravir/lenacapavir at the end of 48 weeks. The study will be conducted at several sites in France in adults 18 years of age and older. Minors and persons under legal guardianship will not be included in the study. Long-acting treatments are evolving thanks to new "long-acting" molecules. These molecules ensure prolonged efficacy without the need for daily dosing thanks to their long half-life by oral / IM or SC injection (cabotegravir, islatravir, lenacapavir, rilpivirine and bNAbs). Currently, the only available combination is dual therapy with cabotegravir/rilpivirine administered intramuscularly every two months. However, this injectable combination therapy has its limitations, namely previous resistance to rilpivirine, a number of failures due to certain virological subtypes or poor use of the injectable by certain patients (obesity, injection errors, etc.). For many referral centers caring for patients with HIV, it has become necessary to have a long-acting therapeutic alternative for certain patients. A strategy based on lenacapavir combined with cabotegravir could be a validated alternative for undetectable or detectable patients who have received intensive multidrug regimens, for patients with multidrug resistance, or for patients who are unable to take their oral antiretroviral regimens due to intolerance, drug-drug interactions, or non-adherence. Recently in the US, the case series presented by Dr. Monica Gandhi (Case series examining the Long-Acting combination of Lenacapavir and Cabotegravir: call for a trial-abstract 629 CROI 2024) demonstrated the high virologic efficacy (94%) of this combination in participants who were unobserved, intolerant or had underlying resistance to antiretroviral therapy (NNRTIs). The experimental drugs used in this study are cabotegravir, marketed as Vocabria®, and lenacapavir, marketed as Sunlenca®. Both are approved in France for the treatment of HIV-1 infection.
