About this trial

This is a research study to better understand how long-acting cabotegravir (CAB-LA) works to prevent HIV in people. This study will also evaluate the impact of endogenous and therapeutic hormones on CAB-LA pharmacology. The investigators will also evaluate if participants experience any medical problems when taking CAB-LA.

Eligibility criteria

This trial accepts healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

19 years of age or older

For females, must be on a non-hormonal contraceptive agent, and must persist in contraceptive use for the duration of the study

Body weight greater than 35 kg (77.2 lbs)

Disqualifiers

Design model

Single group

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Cabotegravir Injectable Suspension (CAB LA)

    Drug

    A single dose of 600 mg CAB-LA (ApretudeTM; 200 mg/mL) will be prescribed and administered only once during the study. ApretudeTM manufactured by ViiV Healthcare and is a sterile white to slightly pink suspension containing 200 mg/mL of CAB as free acid for administration by intramuscular injection. The product is packaged in a 3 mL USP Type I glass vial with a 13 mm gray stopper and aluminum seal. Each vial is for single use containing a withdrawable fill of 2.0 mL and does not require dilution prior to administration. CAB LA injectable suspension is to be stored at up to 30°C, do not freeze. The dose selected is the FDA-recommended CAB-LA PrEP dose.
