Summary

Cabotegravir (CAB), also known as GSK1265744, is a HIV-1 integrase strand transfer inhibitor (INSTI) used for pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and the treatment of individuals infected with HIV. CAB is utilised in combination with Rilpivirine (a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor, NNRTI) for HIV treatment. Long-acting versions of CAB (CAB-LA) are currently administered once monthly or every-2-months as a intramuscular (IM) injection containing an extended-release drug particle nanosuspension, with an optional ~30 day oral-lead in period. CAB-LA administered by IM injection requires approximately one week to achieve maximal plasma drug concentration. CAB is metabolised in the body by the enzyme UGT1A1; with the average half-life of IM CAB-LA ranging from 5.6 to 11.5 weeks.

Approval status

CAB-LA (APRETUDE) 600mg/3mL extended-release IM injectable suspension single dose vials have received approval for use in HIV-1 PrEP for HIV-negative adults and adolescents weighing ≥ 35 kilograms who are at risk of infection. CAB-LA (VOCABRIA) is used together with another medicine called rilpivirine (REKAMBYS) (or co-packed as a2-drug co-packaged product CABENUVA) as a complete regimen for the treatment to treat adults (and children, depending on approvals) living with human HIV-1. VOCABRIA is available as tablets to be taken by mouth and as a prolonged-release suspension for injection.

Regulatory authorities

CAB-LA has received regulatory approval from several Stringent Regulatory Approval authorities (SRAs), including, those of US, Europe, Australia, Canada. The product for PrEP use is indicated for individuals without prior HIV-1 infection and devoid of any indications of drug resistance. Medicine Control Authority of Zimbabwe was the first African regulatory body to approve CAB-LA for HIV-PrEP. Furthermore, the World Health Organization's Guideline Development Group has conditionally recommended CAB-LA as an adjunctive preventive measure for those at substantial risk of HIV-1 infection. CAB-LA is also approved for the treatment indication in combination with Rilpivirine by several SRAs.

Scale-up and manufacturing prospects

Scale-up prospects

Compound is commercially manufactured by the innovator and three generic manufacturers have received a licence through the medicines patent pool to manufacture generic versions by 2026/2027.

Tentative equipment list for manufacturing

Conventional wet-bead milling (ball mill), depyrogenated glass vials.

Manufacturing

Cabotegravir is subject to a gamma-irradiation pre-sterilization step prior to a conventional wet-bead milling manufacturing procedure. The Cabotegravir milling process is initiated alongside pharmaceutical excipients (polyethylene glycol 3350, water for injection, polysorbate 20 and mannitol) for an overall 200nm drug particle size. Sterilized de-pyrogenated glass vials are used to store the finished drug nanosuspension, before an additional gamma irradiation (25kGy) step to ensure aseptic packaging conditions.

Specific analytical instrument required for characterization of formulation

PANalytical X’Pert PRO diffractometer equipped with a theta/theta coupled goniometer (or equivalent x-ray powder diffractor) to determine drug particle size, Mettler TGA/DSC 1 instrument for thermal analysis, HPLC to evaluate drug content, impurities and dissolution, HPLC UV-Vis Detector for drug identification.

More details

The study is a prospective cohort of young MSM who are followed for 2 years either in-person at the PRISM Health Research Clinic and/or virtually with telehealth study visits. Follow-up visits occur as frequently as every 3 months, or as appropriate to clinical needs of HIV PrEP or STI PEP. The investigators will enroll men who may decide to start or stop PrEP, change from daily oral PrEP to on-demand oral PrEP or from on-demand oral PrEP to daily PrEP, to start or stop STI PEP at any point in the study period, or injectable PrEP as an alternative to daily oral PrEP or on-demand oral PrEP. All men will be provided with the study's mobile smart phone app to support early identification of risks for PrEP discontinuation, to provide information about STI PEP and document usage patterns of on-

Several studies show that Adolescents and Young Adults (AYA) have poor outcomes along the entire Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) prevention and care cascades compared to adults. The investigators propose to evaluate novel evidence-based HIV prevention and care interventions (including Cabotegravir LongActing (CABLA) to determine implementation outcomes among AYA who are at particularly high risk for HIV acquisition and poor viral suppression in five geographically distinct research performance sites in Uganda. The results will provide important evidence to inform Uganda and other regional countries' policy on integrated HIV prevention, care and treatment for AYA at high risk for HIV and Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) in order to reach the UNAIDS 95-95-95 targets and HIV epidemic

More details

The goal of this study is to elicit information crucial for designing strategies to support engagement in cabotegravir, a long-acting injectable form of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) to reduce HIV risk among women who inject drugs (WWID), a population with high unmet need that has been understudied in all phases of PrEP research. The main questions this study aims to answer are: 1. How do WWID perceive long-acting injectable cabotegravir (CAB-LA) as a HIV prevention tool? 2. If and how their decisions to initiate CAB-LA as PrEP are informed by their experiences with other long-acting medications, experience with daily oral medications, and their personal circumstance (e.g., like housing or addition severity)? 3. Do PrEP outcomes (e.g., adherence) and engagement in care over time differ

More details

The goal of this clinical trial is to offer adolescents and young people in Cape Town, South Africa different HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) products and describe how they use these products over an 18-month period. The study has both clinical and implementation primary aims. The primary clinical aim is short and long-term persistence on PrEP. Persistence is defined as the length of time that a participant shows continuous use of a PrEP product as intended, without stopping PrEP or switching to another PrEP product. The primary implementation aim involves the determination of factors that either enable or serve as a barrier to PrEP uptake and continuation. Participants will be offered a choice between three antiretroviral-containing PrEP products: (1) a Tenofovir-based oral tablet th

Xenobiotica. 2016;46(2):147-62. doi: https://doi.org/10.3109/00498254.2015.1060372 Epub 2015 Jul 1

1. Cabotegravir [(3S,11aR)-N-[(2,4-difluorophenyl)methyl]-6-hydroxy-3-methyl-5,7-dioxo-2,3,5,7,11,11a-hexahydro[1,3]oxazolo[3,2-a]pyrido[1,2-d]pyrazine-8-carboxamide] is an HIV-1 integrase inhibitor under development as a tablet for both oral lead-in therapy and long-acting (LA) injectable for intramuscular dosing.


2. Metabolism, pharmacokinetics and excretion were investigated in healthy human subjects who received either a single oral dose (28.2 mg) of [14C]cabotegravir in a mass balance study, or LA formulations of unlabeled cabotegravir (200–800 mg), intramuscularly or subcutaneously, in a separate study. Metabolism, distribution and excretion of [14C]cabotegravir were also investigated in mice, rats and monkeys.


3. Recovery of radioactivity in humans represented a mean total of 85.3% of the dose, including 26.8% in the urine. The mean apparent terminal phase half-life was similar for both cabotegravir and radioactivity, 39 h compared to 41 h.


4. Following oral, intramuscular and subcutaneous administration, cabotegravir was the major component in plasma and the glucuronic acid conjugate (M1) represented the predominant component in urine. Cabotegravir was present in bile along with its major metabolite (M1).


5. The primary metabolite of [14C]cabotegravir in mouse, rat and monkey was the same as that in human. In vitro phenotyping experiments demonstrated that cabotegravir was metabolized by UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) 1A1 and UGT1A9.

Background: GSK1265744 is an HIV integrase strand transfer inhibitor selected for clinical development.

Objective: This first-time-in-human and phase IIa investigation assessed GSK1265744 antiviral activity, pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability in healthy and HIV-1-infected subjects.

Methods: This double-blind, placebo-controlled study consisted of a dose escalation of single (part A) and multiple (part B) oral doses in 48 healthy subjects and an oral dose (part C) in 11 HIV-1-infected subjects. In part A, 2 cohorts of 9 subjects received either 5 and 25 mg or 10 and 50 mg. In part B, 3 cohorts of 10 subjects received 5, 10, or 25 mg once daily for 14 days. In part C and the phase IIa study, subjects received 5 or 30 mg once daily for 10 days.

Results: Dose-proportional increases in drug exposure were observed in healthy and HIV-1-infected subjects. In healthy subjects, pharmacokinetic variability was low following single or repeat dosing (coefficient of variation, 13%-34% and 15%-23%, respectively). Mean plasma half-life was 31.5 hours. GSK1265744 monotherapy significantly reduced plasma HIV-1 RNA from baseline to day 11 in HIV-1-infected subjects receiving 5 or 30 mg versus placebo (P < .001); mean decrease was 2.2 to 2.3 log10 copies/mL, respectively. Study drug was generally well tolerated with no clinically relevant trends in laboratory values, vital signs, or electrocardiograms.

Conclusions: GSK1265744 was well tolerated in healthy and HIV-1-infected subjects. Results demonstrate once-daily doses of 5 or 30 mg exceeded minimum target therapeutic concentrations and produced a significant reduction in plasma HIV-1 RNA viral load.

Purpose of review 

Long-acting cabotegravir may provide a novel therapeutic option for both the treatment and prevention of HIV-1 infection that does not necessitate adherence to a daily regimen. The present review will highlight the unique formulation properties and pharmacologic attributes of long-acting cabotegravir nanosuspension.


Recent findings 

Cabotegravir is a potent integrase strand transfer inhibitor that has been formulated as an oral tablet for daily administration and as a long-acting injectable nanosuspension. Long-acting cabotegravir is readily absorbed following intramuscular and subcutaneous administration and has an elimination half-life of approximately 40 days, allowing for administration on a monthly or less frequent schedule. Repeat-dose pharmacokinetic studies and population pharmacokinetic modeling indicate monthly and bi-monthly dosing achieves clinically relevant plasma concentrations considered effective for HIV maintenance therapy and that quarterly injections are appropriate for investigation as preexposure prophylaxis. Cabotegravir is primarily metabolized by uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 and is unlikely to be impacted by the cytochrome P450 metabolic pathway. In vitro and in vivo data suggest cabotegravir has a low propensity to cause, or be subject to, significant drug interactions.


Summary 

The pharmacologic profile of long-acting cabotegravir supports its continued development for both treatment and prevention of HIV-1 infection.
