OBJECTIVE: We had previously shown that long-acting cabotegravir (CAB-LA) injections fully protected macaques from vaginal simian HIV (SHIV) infection. Here, we reassessed CAB-LA efficacy in the presence of depot medroxyprogesterone acetate and multiple sexually transmitted infections (STIs) that are known to increase HIV susceptibility in women.
DESIGN: Two macaque models of increasing vaginal STI severity were used for efficacy assessment.
METHODS: The first study (n = 11) used a double STI model that had repeated exposures to two vaginal STI, Chlamydia trachomatis and Trichomonas vaginalis. Six animals were CAB-LA treated and five were controls. The second study (n = 9) included a triple STI model with repeated exposures to C. trachomatis, T. vaginalis and syphilis, and the contraceptive, depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA). Six animals were CAB-LA treated and three were controls. All animals received up to 14 vaginal SHIV challenges. A survival analysis was performed to compare the number of SHIV challenges to infection in the drug-treated group compared with untreated controls over time.
RESULTS: All six CAB-LA treated animals in both models, the double STI or the triple STI-DMPA model, remained protected after 14 SHIV vaginal challenges, while the untreated animals became SHIV-infected after a median of two challenges (log-rank P < 0.001) or one challenge (log-rank P = 0.002), respectively. Both models recapitulated human STI disease, with vaginal discharge, ulcers, and seroconversion.
CONCLUSION: In these high and sustained susceptibility models spanning more than 3 months, CAB-LA maintained complete efficacy, demonstrating robustness of the CAB-LA dose used in clinical trials, and suggesting its insensitivity to multiple STIs and DMPA.
