DENVER — People with HIV who have challenges adhering to a daily oral regimen should be offered long-acting formulations of ART, study findings suggest.

An interim review of data from the phase 3 LATITUDE study — which compared daily oral ART with monthly injections — indicated that long-acting ART was significantly more effective for people who have trouble taking a daily pill.

Following a planned interim review of the data, an independent data and safety monitoring board recommended that Aadia Rana, MD, professor of medicine at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, and colleagues offer everyone in the trial long-acting ART.

“This study is important because it really broadens the types of patients who could receive injectable monthly cabotegravir-rilpivirine,” Rana said in this video from the Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections.
