A Study to Evaluate the Effectiveness of Long-acting (LA) Cabotegravir (CAB) + Rilpivirine (RPV) LA When Given to Participants With Detectable HIV-1 (NCT06694805)

A Phase 3b, Open Label, Randomized, standard-of Care Control Arm, Multicenter, Superiority Study Evaluating the Efficacy, Safety, and Tolerability of Injectable CAB LA + RPV LA in Viremic Participants Living With HIV-1 (CROWN)

🔵 Active, Not Recruiting Phase3 💊 Investigational Drug / Biologic Sponsor: ViiV Healthcare

🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

This study will assess how effective, safe, and long-lasting a long-acting antiretroviral therapy (ART) using CAB LA + RPV LA is for people with HIV who still have detectable virus levels despite being on oral ART. The study will also consider feedback from patients on their experience with this treatment.

Who can join: To join this study, participants generally need to meet the listed inclusion criteria (7 items) and avoid the listed exclusions (41 items).

Instant Checklist

Check every box below. If you can check all of them, you may meet the study's basic screening requirements (final eligibility is confirmed by the site team).

Usually NOT eligible if any of the following apply:

  • Exclusion Criteria:
  • Medical Conditions
  • HIV-1 Subtype A6, if known from historical result.
  • Participants who are pregnant, breast/chest feeding or plan to become pregnant or breast/chest feed during the study.
  • Unstable liver disease (as defined by the presence of ascites, encephalopathy, coagulopathy, hypoalbuminemia, esophageal or gastric varices, or persistent jaundice), cirrhosis, known biliary abnormalities (with the exception of hyperbilirubinemia or jaundice due to Gilbert's syndrome or asymptomatic gallstones).
  • Individuals with both HIV and Hepatitis B virus (HBV) will be excluded from participating in studies where they would not be able to receive appropriate therapy for their HBV co-infection and therefore may be at risk of hepatitis B flare. Exclusion will be determined by evidence of HBV infection based on the results of testing at Screening for HBsAg, HBcAb, HBsAb and HBV.
  • History of liver cirrhosis with or without hepatitis viral co-infection.
  • Participants with severe hepatic impairment (Class C) as determined by Child-Pugh classification.
  • Participants with HCV co-infection will be excluded entry into this study if they are currently receiving anti-HCV therapy at baseline (Day 1).
  • Participants determined by the investigator to have a high risk of seizures, including participants with an unstable or poorly controlled seizure disorder.
  • History of sensitivity to any of the study medications or their components or drugs of their class, or a history of drug or other allergy that, in the opinion of the investigator or Medical Monitor, contraindicates their participation.
  • Participants who in the investigator's judgment, pose a significant suicidality risk. Participant's history of suicidal behaviour and/or suicidal ideation should be considered when evaluating for suicide risk.
