  • Research summary

    This is a multi-centre, multi-country prospective
    observational cohort study of adults and
    adolescents ≥35 Kgs, initiating Cabotegravir Long
    Acting Regimen for Pre exposure Prophylaxis, in real
    world clinical settings across Europe. The study will
    assess adherence and effectiveness of CAB LA for
    PrEP, and will monitor for hepatotoxicity and
    resistance to Cabotegravir.
    This study is an observational study and therefore,
    no study specific medication will be administered,

    no additional medical procedures will be performed

    Treatments and routine visits will take place as part
    of routine healthcare and data that is normally
    recorded as part of routine treatment and
    healthcare will be analysed.
    All CAB LA for PrEP users will be followed for at
    least 3 years and for up to 5 years from the time of
    initiation while on CAB LA PrEP
    Individuals who are found to have an incident HIV
    infection will be followed for at least 1 year and up
    to 5 years from the start of ART (Antiretroviral
    treatment) and their virologic suppression and
    emergence of resistance to ARVs (Antiretrovirals),
    and cross resistance to other integrase inhibitors
    will be monitored
    Individuals initiating CAB PrEP with undiagnosed
    prevalent HIV-1 infection will be followed for at
    least 1 year and up to 5 years from the start of ART
    and their virologic suppression and emergence of
    resistance to ARVs & cross resistance to other
    integrase inhibitors will be monitored
    Participants discontinuing CAB LA PrEP will be
    monitored for at least 1 year and up to 5 years for
    diagnosis of HIV infection and, if infected, to
    monitor for ARV effectiveness & potential
    emergence of resistance
    The study aims to include at least 500 participants,
    from research centres across Europe.
