A Study to Investigate Cabotegravir Ultra Long-Acting (CAB ULA) Plus Rilpivirine Ultra Long-Acting (RPV ULA) in Adults and Adolescents With HIV Who Are Virologically Suppressed
What this study is about
This study compares the effectiveness, safety and how well patients handle the treatment of CAB ULA and RPV ULA administered with CAB long acting (LA) and RPV LA administered in adults and adolescents with HIV who are virologically suppressed on anti-retroviral therapy (ART).

Who can participate
This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.
Inclusion criteria
- Patient Study Participant (PSP) Inclusion criteria:
- Adults and adolescents with HIV-1 infection aged 12 years or older with a weight \>35 kg.
- Documented HIV-1 RNA measurements \<50 copies/mL in the 12 months prior to Screening.
- HIV-1 RNA \<50 copies/mL at screening assessment.
- Must be on current daily oral antiretroviral regimen for at least 6 months uninterrupted prior to Screening.
- Any prior switch in therapy must have occurred due to tolerability/safety, access to medications, or convenience/simplification, and must NOT have been done for virologic treatment failure (HIV-1 RNA ≥200 copies/mL).
Exclusion criteria
- Patient Study Participant (PSP) Exclusion criteria:
- Any evidence of primary resistance based on the presence of any major known INSTI (including CAB) or NNRTI (including RPV) resistance-associated mutation.
- Treatment with an HIV-1 immunotherapeutic vaccine within 90 days of screening.
- Any history of receiving long-acting therapy for HIV.
- Previous exposure to CAB and/or RPV for treatment or prevention of HIV-1 infection.
- Significant uncontrolled or clinically relevant comorbidities (e.g., cardiovascular, hepatic, renal, neurological, psychiatric) that may impact safety or study participation. Note: Other protocol defined Inclusion/Exclusion criteria may apply.

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
