Abstract
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.
期刊介绍:
Infectious Diseases and Therapy is an international, open access, peer-reviewed, rapid publication journal dedicated to the publication of high-quality clinical (all phases), observational, real-world, and health outcomes research around the discovery, development, and use of infectious disease therapies and interventions, including vaccines and devices. Studies relating to diagnostic products and diagnosis, pharmacoeconomics, public health, epidemiology, quality of life, and patient care, management, and education are also encouraged.
Areas of focus include, but are not limited to, bacterial and fungal infections, viral infections (including HIV/AIDS and hepatitis), parasitological diseases, tuberculosis and other mycobacterial diseases, vaccinations and other interventions, and drug-resistance, chronic infections, epidemiology and tropical, emergent, pediatric, dermal and sexually-transmitted diseases.
