Resumen

El estudio ATLAS (Antiretroviral Therapy as Long Acting Suppression, Terapia Antirretroviral como Supresión de Acción Prolongada) se lleva a cabo para determinar si los sujetos adultos infectados por el virus de inmunodeficiencia humana tipo 1 (VIH-1) con supresión virológica actual bajo un régimen con 2 inhibidores nucleosídicos de la transcriptasa inversa (INTI) más un tercer agente permanecen suprimidos al cambiar a un régimen intramuscular (IM) de acción prolongada (AP) de dos fármacos: cabotegravir (CAB) y rilpivirina (RPV). Se trata de un estudio de fase 3, multifásico, aleatorizado, abierto, controlado activo, multicéntrico, de grupos paralelos, de no inferioridad, en sujetos adultos con terapia antirretroviral (TAR) para VIH-1 que se encuentran de manera estable suprimidos bajo su régimen antirretroviral (ARV) actual. Este estudio está diseñado para demostrar la actividad antiviral no inferior del cambio a un régimen de dos fármacos CAB AP 400 mg + RPV AP 600 mg cada 4 semanas (Q4W: mensual) en comparación con el mantenimiento del régimen ARV actual que contiene 2 INTI más un INI, INNTI o IP. Los sujetos elegibles serán aleatorizados (1:1) en la Fase de Mantenimiento el Día 1 para continuar la TAR actual o cambiar a terapia oral con CAB 30 mg + RPV 25 mg una vez al día durante 4 semanas, seguida de inyecciones mensuales (Q4W) de CAB AP + RPV AP. Tras la Fase de Mantenimiento en la Semana 52, los sujetos aleatorizados para continuar su régimen de TAR actual tendrán la opción de cambiar a inyecciones de CAB AP + RPV AP. Dichos sujetos pasarían a la dosificación AP, comenzando con 4 semanas de terapia oral de CAB + RPV en la Semana 52, y recibirían las primeras inyecciones IM de CAB AP + RPV AP en la Semana 56.
