What Cabenuva trials have been run, and what did they test?
Cabenuva (cabotegravir + rilpivirine) clinical trials mainly tested whether monthly dosing after an initial lead-in period could keep HIV-1 viral load suppressed as well as standard daily antiretroviral therapy. The program also tested different dosing schedules and whether patients could switch from oral therapy to long-acting injections.
How does the pivotal Cabenuva trial design work (oral lead-in, then injections)?
A common structure in Cabenuva studies is an initial phase using oral cabotegravir plus oral rilpivirine, followed by intramuscular injections of long-acting cabotegravir and rilpivirine. This approach is meant to establish tolerability before transitioning to injections and to maintain drug exposure over time.
Which comparator arms were used in Cabenuva studies?
Cabenuva trials have used standard-of-care regimens as comparators, typically reflecting daily oral antiretroviral therapy. The key question for these studies was whether Cabenuva’s long-acting injectable strategy could maintain virologic suppression (rather than using daily pills).
What happens in trials if viral load rises during Cabenuva dosing?
Trial protocols generally define what counts as virologic failure or loss of suppression and outline what to do next, such as switching to an alternative regimen and performing resistance testing when needed. Cabenuva’s long-acting dosing makes adherence and timing especially important, so trials focus heavily on maintaining the injection schedule and ensuring appropriate overlap during switches.
Are there newer Cabenuva trials looking at different patient groups or dosing schedules?
Beyond the core switching and noninferiority studies, research has explored broader use cases, including switching strategies (from different oral regimens) and ongoing evaluation of long-acting dosing intervals. Exact details depend on the specific trial (by identifier, phase, and protocol version).

What I need from you to list the exact Cabenuva trials
“Cabenuva trials” can refer to multiple different studies. If you tell me one of the following, I can summarize the exact trials more precisely:
- the trial name/number (e.g., NCT number)
- the population you care about (switching from oral ART vs treatment-naive, etc.)
- whether you want published results, ongoing recruiting trials, or both
