London, 23 July 2024 – ViiV Healthcare today announced new maternal safety and pregnancy outcomes and pharmacokinetic (PK) findings from the HIV Prevention Trials Network (HPTN) 084 open label extension (OLE) evaluating cis-gender women in sub-Saharan Africa who became pregnant while using Apretude (cabotegravir LA for PrEP) for HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). The findings showed that cabotegravir LA for PrEP was generally well tolerated among pregnant women, and PK findings demonstrated that cabotegravir levels were maintained above those associated with HIV protection throughout the overall pregnancy period. These data will be presented at the 25th International AIDS Conference being held in Munich, Germany (22 – 26 July).
