Pre‐Test
• Which of the following is NOT true about cabotegravir?1. Cabotegravir is an investigational integrase DNA
strand transfer inhibitor2. It can be used for intramuscular injection as a long‐
acting formulation.3. It is an analogue of dolutegravir.4. It is a novel nucleoside reverse transcriptase
inhibitor that can be used with rilpivirine.5. Its long‐acting intramuscular formulation may be a
possible PrEP therapy as quarterly injections in high risk patients.
Objectives
• Discuss key components of the LATTE study including safety and efficacy considerations
• Describe novel injectable therapy options in the role of maintenance therapy in HIV treatment
• Review the role of injectable therapy options in pre‐exposure prophylaxis (PrEP)

• Next generation integrase strand transfer inhibitors (INI) – Once daily dosing without PK
booster– Improved in vitro resistance
profile with potential to treat first generation INI resistance
– Analogue of dolutegravir– Oral administration with T1/2 =
40 hours– Good virologic response at 5
and 30mg/day as oral 10 –day monotherapy
– No significant CYP induction

LATTE Objectives
• Investigate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of cabotegravir across 3 doses for HIV treatment
• Select an oral dose of cabotegravir for further evaluation
• Demonstrate safety and efficacy with a novel 2‐drug regimen for maintenance therapy, cabotegravir + rilpivirine
• Facilitate the conduct of a second phase IIb study, evaluating the long‐acting injectable regimen, cabotegravir LA and rilpivirine LA
Margolis et al. CROI 2014; Boston, MA. Abstract 91LB.
• Phase IIb, randomized, multicenter, partially blind, dose‐ranging study• 744 + NRTI subjects with a W20 HIV‐1 RNA <50 c/mL simplified to 744 + RPV at W24
• Primary endpoint: % HIV‐1 RNA <50 c/mL at 48 weeks (FDA “Snapshot”) – Intent‐to‐treat exposed (ITT‐E) – received at least one dose of Investigational Product (IP)– Intent‐to‐treat maintenance exposed (ITT‐ME) – received at least one maintenance dose

LATTE Study – Week 48 Analysis Conclusions
Margolis et al. CROI 2014; Boston, MA. Abstract 91LB.
• Following induction therapy, oral CAB+RPV maintained virologic suppression at a rate similar to EFV+NRTIs
• Primary Endpoint: 82% of 744+RPV and 71% of EFV+NRTIs subjects had HIV‐1 RNA <50 copies/mL
• Secondary Endpoint (ITT‐ME): 93% of 744+RPV and 94% of EFV+NRTIs subjects had HIV‐1 RNA <50 copies/mL
• Similar response rate across 744 10mg, 30mg, and 60mg arms
• One subject, with persistently low 744 and RPV drug concentrations, developed treatment emergent INI and NNRTI mutations

LATTE Study Week 96 Analysis Conclusions
1. Following induction therapy, oral CAB + RPV maintained virologic suppression at a rate similar to EFV + NRTIs through 96 weeks.
2. Primary endpoint: 76% of CAB + RPV and 63% of EFV + NRTIs subjects had HIV‐1 RNA <50 c/mL.
3. Secondary endpoint (ITT‐ME): 86% of CAB + RPV and 83% of EFV + NRTIs subjects had HIV‐1 RNA <50 c/mL.
4. Numerically lower response rate of CAB 10 mg and 30 mg, relative to 60‐mg arm is largely due to non‐virologic discontinuations, with a low PDVF rate across all arms.
5. CAB + RPV was well tolerated, with few drug‐related AEs leading to withdrawal.
6. CAB 30‐mg once‐daily dose was selected for further oral development.
7. These regimen POC results support evaluation of long‐acting injectable regimens of CAB LA + RPV LA as maintenance therapy.
Margolis et al. CROI 2015; Seattle, WA. Abstract 554LB
Long‐Acting Parenteral Therapy
• Cabotegravir physicochemical attributes
– Low solubility and correct particle size to control release kinetics
– Low metabolic clearance
– Appropriate formulation factors
– Limited cross‐resistance to both raltegravir and elvitegravir
– A high barrier to resistance in vitro

• After single dose of 800mg CAB LAP injection, concentrations may be measurable for up to 52 weeks.
• For 600mg RPV LAP injection x 1, concentrations may be measurable for up to 24 weeks.
• If subject stops CAB LAP and RPV LAP for any reason, he/she should remain on suppressive HAART for at least 52 weeks after the last LAP dose.
• “lost to follow‐up” possible selection of resistant mutants
Potential Issues
Pre‐exposure Prophylaxis
• TDF/FTC once daily approved by FDA for HIV PrEP in adults who are at high risk for becoming HIV‐infected in July 2012
• 4 trials showing efficacy when taken as prescribed leading to FDA approval (iPREX trial 92% efficacy by detection of drug)
• FEM‐PrEP trial in women did not show a benefit secondary to poor adherence

Cabotegravir LA
• A study on female rhesus macaques showed that 30 and 50mg/kg of CAB LA were equally potent at preventing SIV infection from multiple intravaginal challenge.1
– Targeting >4x PA‐IC90 in plasma may be sufficient to protect against vaginal SIV transmission in macaques
• In Male macaques, cabotegravir plasma concentration >3x PA‐IC90 resulted in 100% protection while the efficacy was 97% at plasma levels ≥ 1x PA‐IC90.

ECLAIRStudy to Evaluate the Safety Tolerability and Acceptability of Long Acting Injections of the HIV Integrase Inhibitor, GSK1265744, in
HIV Uninfected Men
• PrEP trial using cabotegravir 800mg IM once every 12 weeks after oral 30mg po daily lead‐in for 4 weeks and 1 week washout period
• Male population at risk – defined as having at least one casual sex partner in the past 24 months
Summary
• Cabotegravir is a well‐tolerated integrase inhibitor with potential to treat first generation INI resistance.
• Following induction therapy, oral CAB + RPV maintained virologic suppression at a rate similar to EFV + NRTIs through 96 weeks.
• Long‐acting parenteral therapy is possible through nanoparticle suspension.
• Potential once a month injectable therapy CAB + RPV IM
• Possible PrEP using CAB 800mg IM every 12weeks which is important as Adherence is the key in successful PrEP outcome.

• Which of the following is NOT true about cabotegravir?1. Cabotegravir is an investigational integrase DNA
strand transfer inhibitor2. It can be used for intramuscular injection as a long‐
acting formulation.3. It is an analogue of dolutegravir.4. It is a novel nucleoside reverse transcriptase
inhibitor that can be used with rilpivirine.5. Its long‐acting intramuscular formulation may be a
possible PrEP therapy as quarterly injections in high risk patients.
