About this study

Official title: Phase IV Study of the Pharmacokinetics of Long-Acting Injectable Cabotegravir and Rilpivirine in Pregnant and Postpartum Women With HIV in the United States

Phase IV, multi-site, open-label, non-randomized study of the pharmacokinetics (PK) of long-acting injectable cabotegravir and rilpivirine (CAB LA + RPV LA) during pregnancy and postpartum.

Read the detailed description

Up to 40 adult-participants with HIV viral suppression will be enrolled, in pairs with their infants, to achieve 30 evaluable adult-participants overall.

Being tested
Every 4-week long-acting injectable cabotegravir and rilpivirine
Keywords
HIV, Pregnancy, CAB LA + RPV LA

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Every 4-week long-acting injectable cabotegravir and rilpivirine in people with HIV -1 Infection, run by International Maternal Pediatric Adolescent AIDS Clinical Trials Group at 10 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Nov 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 10 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Lisa Levy (2028848480, LLEVY@FHI360.ORG), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Population PK: geometric mean clearance of CAB and RPV in second trimester, third trimester, and postpartum derived from a population PK model (time frame: Measured from study entry through six weeks postpartum). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 3 Nov 2026.
