About this trial
The purpose of this study is to identify 1 or more doses of parenterally administered VH4524184 that are safe, well tolerated and yield a PK drug exposure profile necessary to deliver a long-acting antiretroviral therapy for the treatment of HIV-1 infection.

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Percentage of participants reporting adverse events (AEs) and related AEs
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. Related AE = AE assessed by the investigator as related to the study drug.
Percentage of participants with AEs by severity
Severity of AEs will be assessed using Division of AIDS Table for Grading the Severity of Adult Adverse Events (DAIDS). DAIDS grading scale is used to grade the toxicity associated with injection site reactions (ISR) including injection site pain (or tenderness), erythema (or redness), induration (or swelling), and pruritus. The toxicity level is graded from Grade 1 (lowest toxicity) to 4 (highest toxicity). Higher grade indicates higher toxicity.
Percentage of participants discontinuing the treatment due to AEs
Change from baseline in alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alkaline phosphatase parameters
The liver panel laboratory parameters are assessed after the administration of long-acting injectable (LAI) VH4524184.
Secondary outcomes
Percentage of participants with treatment emergent Grade 3 or Grade 4 laboratory abnormalities
Grade 3 is defined as causing an inability to perform usual social \& functional activities with intervention or hospitalization indicated. Grade 4 is defined as an abnormality that is potentially life-threatening, causing an inability to perform basic self-care functions with intervention indicated to prevent permanent impairment, persistent disability, or death.
