Impact of Long-acting Injectable Cabotegravir for HIV Pre-exposure Prophylaxis Persistence and Coverage in Men Who Have Sex With Men in France: a Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial.

Name
ANRS 0410s CABOPrEP
Description
The purpose of this study is to evaluate if offering long-acting injectable cabotegravir (CAB-LA) as an additional HIV prevention choice among oral PrEP-experienced men who have sex with men (MSM) in France can significantly increase the sustained PrEP use over time and the PrEP coverage of at-risk sexual risk behaviors.

Treatment
Cabotegravir Tablets, for oral use.
Participants randomly assigned to the cabotegravir arm will be instructed to take by mouth a single tablet of cabotegavir 30mg once daily for four weeks.
Arms:
Long-acting injectable PrEP with cabotegavir
Other names:
VOCABRIA
Cabotegravir Extended-Release Injectable Suspension, for intramuscular use.
Participants will receive 600mg (3mL) CAB LA injections intramuscularly at Month 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22 and 24. The injections will be performed in the gluteal muscle by trained healthcare providers at study sites.
Arms:
Long-acting injectable PrEP with cabotegavir
Other names:
APRETUDE
Tenofovir disoproxil/Emtricitabine 300mg/200mg fixed-dose combination tablets, for oral use
* Daily regimen: a single tablet of TDF/FTC every 24 hours, regardless of sexual activity. If PrEP was stopped, resume with two pills of TDF/FTC followed by one pill every 24 hours. * On-demand regimen: a loading dose of two pills of TDF/FTC 2 to 24 hours before sexual intercourse, a third pill 24 hours after the first drug intake and a fourth pill 24 hours later. In case of daily sexual intercourse, participants will be instructed to take one pill per day until the last sexual intercourse, then to take the two post-exposure pills. If the last dose of TDF/FTC was taken less than one week prior, a leading dose with a single pill of TDF/FTC is sufficient.
Arms:
Oral PrEP with daily or on-demand TDF/FTC
Other names:
TRUVADA
Rectal Biopsies
This intervention concerns only participants involved in the rectal tissue HIV-1 permissibility sub-study. The proctologist collects ten rectal biopsies at different time points before and after PrEP initiation according to the randomization arm.
