Long-acting LEN/TAB/ZAB regimen vs daily HIV meds in adults with suppressed HIV-1
Official title: A Phase 3, Randomized, Open-label Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Switching to a Regimen of Broadly Neutralizing Antibodies Teropavimab and Zinlirvimab in Combination With Capsid Inhibitor Lenacapavir Twice-Yearly in Virologically Suppressed Adults With HIV-1 on Stable Oral Treatment Regimens
Run by Gilead Sciences · NCT07683000 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study tests whether switching to an injectable, long-acting combination (lenacapavir, teropavimab, zinlirvimab) can keep HIV-1 under control in adults who are already virally suppressed on stable oral therapy.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults with HIV-1 who are virologically suppressed on stable oral therapy and have documented susceptibility to TAB and ZAB.
✕Probably not a fit
Individuals with resistance to TAB or ZAB, or those who do not achieve suppression with the injectable regimen, may not benefit.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This phase 3 interventional trial compares a long-acting injectable regimen (LEN/TAB/ZAB) to continuing a stable oral baseline regimen in adults with HIV-1 who have achieved viral suppression. Participants will be evaluated after 52 weeks to see if the injectable approach maintains suppression (HIV-1 RNA <50 copies/mL). Eligibility requires documented suppression, surmountable prior viral blips, and susceptibility to TAB and ZAB. The study is sponsored by Gilead Sciences and will be conducted at select sites in the United States. Primary outcome focuses on the proportion of participants with virologic rebound (≥50 copies/mL) at Week 52.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, participants may maintain viral suppression with less frequent dosing and fewer daily medications.
How similar studies have gone: Past studies of long-acting HIV regimens have shown promise in maintaining suppression, but this exact LEN/TAB/ZAB combination is under investigation for switching from oral therapy.

Show full inclusion / exclusion criteria
Key Inclusion Criteria: * Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) susceptibility results from screening meeting specific criteria: 1\) Proviral phenotypic susceptibility to both TAB and ZAB by the investigational protocol-defined assay at screening. * Plasma HIV-1 RNA levels \< 50 copies/mL at screening. * At least 1 documented HIV-1 RNA level measured between 6 months and 12 months (+2 months) prior to screening. This and any other HIV-1 RNA measurements documented in this period must be \< 50 copies/mL (undetectable HIV-1 RNA level according to the local assay being used if the limit of detection is ≥ 50 copies/mL). A single virologic elevation of ≥ 50 copies/mL and \< 400 copies/mL (transient detectable viremia or "blips") prior to screening are acceptable if the subsequent plasma HIV-1 RNA level is \< 50 copies/mL. * A plasma HIV-1 RNA test \< 50 copies/mL (undetectable HIV-1 RNA level according to the local assay being used if the limit of detection is ≥ 50 copies/mL) within the last 6 months prior. * If \> 1 plasma HIV-1 RNA measurements in the last 6 months prior to screening are available, all must be \< 50 copies/mL (undetectable HIV-1 RNA level according to the local assay being used if the limit of detection is ≥ 50 copies/mL). * On a stable oral antiretroviral (ARV) therapy (ART) for ≥ 6 months prior to screening. * A change in ART regimen ≥ 3 months prior to the screening visit for reasons other than virologic failure (eg, tolerability, simplification, drug-drug interaction profile) is allowed; individuals with a change in ART regimen ≥ 3 months prior to screening must have been on the regimen for ≥ 3 months prior to screening, and all HIV-1 RNA measurements in that period must be \< 50 copies/mL. There are no permitted changes to ART regimens between screening and Day 1. Key Exclusion Criteria: * History of an opportunistic infection or illness indicative of Stage 3 HIV disease. * Known hypersensitivity to the study intervention, its metabolites, or formulation excipients. * Active, serious infections (other than HIV-1) requiring therapy \< 30 days prior to randomization. * Active tuberculosis infection. * Acute hepatitis of any cause \< 30 days before randomization. * History of, or current clinical decompensated liver cirrhosis (eg, ascites, encephalopathy, or variceal bleeding) or severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class C). * Active malignancy requiring acute systemic therapy. * Have poor venous access that would limit phlebotomy or intravenous (IV) infusion of study drugs. * Prior use of, or exposure to, LEN or a broadly neutralizing antibody (bNAb) for HIV-1. * Prior use of, or exposure to, long-acting (LA) injectable cabotegravir (CAB) or LA injectable rilpivirine (RPV). * Prior use of, or exposure to, ibalizumab, fostemsavir, or maraviroc. * Current use of, or exposure to, nevirapine or zidovudine. * Baseline regimen consisting of monotherapy with any single ARV. * Treatment with immunosuppressant therapies (eg, corticosteroids, immunoglobulins, and other immune- or cytokine-based therapies) within 4 weeks of screening (with the exception of a single short course of corticosteroids lasting ≤ 7 days) or have a comorbid condition with an anticipated need ongoing immunosuppressive treatment during the study. * Hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody positive and HCV RNA detectable. * Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, as determined by either: 1. Positive HBV surface antigen and negative HBV surface antibody, regardless of HBV core antibody status, at the screening visit. 2. Positive HBV core antibody and negative HBV surface antibody, regardless of HBV surface antigen status, at the screening visit. Note: Individuals found to be susceptible to HBV infection (eg, negative hepatitis B surface antibody at the screening visit, regardless of prior HBV vaccination history) should be recommended to receive an HBV vaccination. Those who remain non-immune will receive regular testing for HBV. * Severe renal impairment-estimated glomerular filtration rate \< 30 mL/min according to the Cockcroft-Gault formula. * Abnormal electrocardiogram (ECG) at the screening visit that is clinically significant, as determined by the investigator. * Any of the following laboratory values at screening: 1. Alanine aminotransferase \> 5 × upper limit of normal (ULN). 2. Direct bilirubin \> 1.5 × ULN 3. Platelets \< 50,000/mm\^3. 4. Hemoglobin \< 8.0 g/dL. Note: Other protocol defined Inclusion/Exclusion criteria may apply.
