Expanding Treatment Opportunities: Reviewing the Current State of Injectable Antiretrovirals for Treatment of HIV

Le résumé fourni par la source

Antiretroviral therapy has evolved significantly over the last 20-30 years, from requiring multiple tablets multiple times per day to single-tablet regimens and most recently, in 2021, long-acting injectable antiretrovirals. These long-acting antiretrovirals have expanded the treatment options for individuals with HIV who may have difficulty adhering to daily oral medications, difficulty taking oral medications, and/or individuals with multidrug-resistant HIV. This article reviews the currently available long-acting injectable antiretrovirals, including cabotegravir/rilpivirine, lenacapavir, and ibalizumab. The available data supporting these agents and current place in therapy will be discussed. Data supporting the use of additional long-acting injectable agents, broadly neutralizing antibodies, currently in the pipeline will be reviewed as well.
