  • Cabotegravir + rilpivirine is the first long-acting HIV treatment approved for intramuscular administration, typically in the gluteal area, but the lateral thigh is being explored as an alternative injection site.
  • A study assessed the safety and pharmacokinetics of this treatment in healthy adults after they received initial oral doses followed by thigh injections, with evaluations continuing for 52 weeks post-injection.
  • Results showed that thigh injections had similar tolerability and effectiveness compared to gluteal injections, with the most common side effects being mild pain and swelling at the injection site.

Background: Some observational studies and randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have suggested an association between abacavir (ABC) use and myocardial infarction (MI), whereas others have not.

Methods: This pooled analysis of 66 phase II-IV RCTs estimates exposure-adjusted incidence rates (IRs) and relative rates (RRs) of MI and cardiovascular events (CVEs) in participants receiving ABC- and non-ABC-containing combination antiretroviral therapy (cART). The primary analysis of MI included ABC-randomized trials with ≥48-week follow-up.
