HPTN 084-01
Infectious Diseases
Safety, Tolerability and Acceptability of Long-Acting Cabotegravir (CAB LA) for the Prevention of HIV among Adolescent Females – A Sub-study of HPTN 084.
Rationale
Despite reductions in other age groups, the number of deaths attributable to HIV is rising in the adolescent age group. As with many daily medication regimens, the effectiveness of oral PrEP is highly dependent on adherence to the prescribed drugs. This appears to be particularly true for adolescents and young adults. Adult safety data on long-acting cabotegravir (CAB LA) will need to be expanded to adolescents in order to license the product for adolescents under the age of 18.
