Abstract
In a phase III, double-blind, randomized, active-controlled trial, receipt of twice-yearly subcutaneous lenacapavir every 26 weeks as pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) significantly reduced HIV incidence in cisgender men, transgender women, transgender men and gender non-binary persons. Of 3,265 included participants, 2 in the lenacapavir group were diagnosed with HIV (0.10 per 100 person-years) compared with 9 people receiving daily oral emtricitabine–tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (0.93 per 100 person-years) and a background incidence of 2.37 per 100 person-years. No safety concerns were identified. Thus, this treatment regimen has promise for these at-risk populations.
