Safety and pharmacokinetics of oral and long-acting injectable cabotegravir or long-acting injectable rilpivirine in virologically suppressed adolescents with HIV (IMPAACT 2017/MOCHA) : a phase 1/2, multicentre, open-label, non-comparative, dose-finding study

BACKGROUND: Combined intramuscular long-acting cabotegravir and long-acting rilpivirine constitute the first long-acting combination antiretroviral therapy (ART) regimen approved for adults with HIV. The goal of the IMPAACT 2017 study (MOCHA [More Options for Children and Adolescents]) was to assess the safety and pharmacokinetics of these drugs in adolescents.

METHODS: In this phase 1/2, multicentre, open-label, non-comparative, dose-finding study, virologically suppressed adolescents (aged 12-17 years; weight ≥35 kg; BMI ≤31·5 kg/m2) with HIV-1 on daily oral ART were enrolled at 15 centres in four countries (Botswana, South Africa, Thailand, and the USA). After 4-6 weeks of oral cabotegravir (cohort 1C) or rilpivirine (cohort 1R), participants received intramuscular long-acting cabotegravir or long-acting rilpivirine every 4 weeks or 8 weeks per the adult dosing regimens, while continuing pre-study ART. The primary outcomes were assessments of safety measures, including all adverse events, until week 4 for oral cabotegravir and until week 16 for long-acting cabotegravir and long-acting rilpivirine, and pharmacokinetic measures, including the area under the plasma concentration versus time curve during the dosing interval (AUC0-tau) and drug concentrations, at week 2 for oral dosing of cabotegravir and at week 16 for intramuscular dosing of cabotegravir and rilpivirine. Enrolment into cohort 1C or cohort 1R was based on the participant's pre-study ART, meaning that masking was not done. For pharmacokinetic analyses, blood samples were drawn at weeks 2-4 after oral dosing and weeks 4-16 after intramuscular dosing. Safety outcome measures were summarised using frequencies, percentages, and exact 95% CIs; pharmacokinetic parameters were summarised using descriptive statistics. This trial is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03497676, and is closed to enrolment.

FINDINGS: Between March 19, 2019, and Nov 25, 2021, 55 participants were enrolled: 30 in cohort 1C and 25 in cohort 1R. At week 16, 28 (97%, 95% CI 82-100) of the 29 dose-evaluable participants in cohort 1C and 21 (91%; 72-99) of the 23 dose-evaluable participants in cohort 1R had reported at least one adverse event, with the most common being injection-site pain (nine [31%] in cohort 1C; nine [39%] in cohort 1R; none were severe). One (4%, 95% CI 0-22) participant in cohort 1R had an adverse event of grade 3 or higher, leading to treatment discontinuation, which was defined as acute rilpivirine-related allergic reaction (self-limiting generalised urticaria) after the first oral dose. No deaths or life-threatening events occurred. In cohort 1C, the week 2 median cabotegravir AUC0-tau was 148·5 (range 37·2-433·1) μg·h/mL. The week 16 median concentrations for the every-4-weeks and every-8-weeks dosing was 3·11 μg/mL (range 1·22-6·19) and 1·15 μg/mL (<0·025-5·29) for cabotegravir and 52·9 ng/mL (31·9-148·0) and 39·1 ng/mL (27·2-81·3) for rilpivirine, respectively. These concentrations were similar to those in adults.

INTERPRETATION: Study data support using long-acting cabotegravir or long-acting rilpivirine, given every 4 weeks or 8 weeks, per the adult dosing regimens, in virologically suppressed adolescents aged 12 years and older and weighing at least 35 kg.
