Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of this clinical study is to learn more about the study drug lenacapavir (LEN), safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (how LEN is absorbed, modified, distributed, and removed from the body of the participants) of once-yearly intramuscular for HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) in people with an indication for PrEP.

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) and the safety and tolerability of intramuscular (IM) every 12 months (Q12M) LEN for PrEP among people with an indication for PrEP.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

NON_RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

SINGLE_GROUP

It is a single arm study that means all participants will receive LEN. However, the study provides LEN in 2 phases, therefore, the two phases are reported as 2 separate arms.
Primary Study Purpose

PREVENTION

Blinding Strategy

NONE

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Lenacapavir (LEN)

Participants with an indication for pre-exposure prophylaxis will receive for approximately 52 weeks:

* LEN 3000 mg injection once on Day 1
* Oral LEN 600 mg on Day 1 and Day 2 during the Main Study Period

Participant will receive additional oral LEN if IM injection are not available.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Intervention Type DRUG

Administered intramuscularly

Lenacapavir Tablet

Intervention Type DRUG

LEN Extension Phase

Participants with an indication for pre-exposure prophylaxis will receive LEN 3000 mg injection once on Day 1 (approximately one year after their initial dose) during the Extension Phase.

Participants will receive oral LEN if IM injections are not available.
