AI Article Synopsis
- Injectable cabotegravir and rilpivirine is a new long-acting ART for HIV patients who are already virologically suppressed and stable on other treatments.
- The SCOLTA study aims to document the initial cohort of HIV patients in Italy starting this regimen, looking at adherence to eligibility criteria and their clinical characteristics compared to trial participants.
- Researchers will also investigate early treatment discontinuations to understand better the effectiveness and challenges of this new therapy.
Article Abstract
Injectable cabotegravir and rilpivirine long-acting therapy is a revolutionary new antiretroviral treatment (ART) option for HIV infection in virologically suppressed adults on a stable ART. The aim of this study from SCOLTA multicenter observational prospective database is to describe the first people living with HIV (PWH) who started this regimen in Italy, assessing adherence to eligibility criteria, describing clinical-epidemiological characteristics compared to registration trials-population and describe early treatment-discontinuations.

Background: Long-acting injectable (LAI) antiretroviral medications are as effective as daily oral antiretroviral therapy (ART) and offer discreet, less frequent dosing. LAIs may be ideal treatment options for people who experience challenges with adherence to daily oral ART, including mobile men living with HIV (MLHIV).
Methods: We conducted a qualitative substudy within two parent trials in 24 health facilities in Malawi that enrolled MLHIV ≥15 years not on ART.

The US faces substantial demographic and geographic disparities in both HIV burden and access to pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), an effective strategy to prevent HIV acquisition. Long-acting cabotegravir (CAB) is a novel, injectable PrEP option which demonstrated superior reduction in risk of HIV acquisition compared to daily-oral PrEP in the HPTN083 trial. We modelled the impact of increased PrEP initiations and the introduction of long-acting CAB on HIV incidence among men who have sex with men (MSM) in Atlanta, Georgia, a population with a high burden of HIV.

The new Cabotegravir + Rilpivirine long acting (CAB + RPV) is the injectable regimen for treatment-experienced people with HIV (PWH). Little data from real-world settings are available, particularly in more complex PWH. We aimed to investigate the effectiveness of CAB + RPV in our real-life cohort of experienced PWH.

Background: Real-world data showing the long-term effectiveness of long-acting injectable cabotegravir and rilpivirine are scarce. We assessed the effectiveness of cabotegravir and rilpivirine in all individuals who switched to cabotegravir and rilpivirine in the Netherlands.
Methods: We used data from the ATHENA cohort, an ongoing observational nationwide HIV cohort in the Netherlands.

Background Virologic failure (VF) is still a major concern in the use of cabotegravir (CAB) and rilpivirine (RPV) long-acting (LA) for many healthcare professionals (HCP). While many results from clinical trials have been published, there is suspicion that they might underestimate the risk under less-controlled real-life conditions. This study aimed to estimate the probability of VF (primary objective) as well as discontinuation for any reason (secondary objective) among people with HIV (PWH) on CAB and RPV LA every two months (Q2M) in real life using Bayesian methodology.
