This study evaluates the safety, acceptability, and pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics of long-acting Rilpivirine (RPV) administered via intramuscular injection. Results show mild to moderate injection site pain and significant accumulation of RPV in various matrices. Viral inhibition against rectal explant infection persists up to 4 months after the last injection, with greater suppression of Clade C virus compared to Clade B. Cervical explant infection was only suppressed at one time point.

Overall Summary (1) • Three 1200 mg doses of LA RPV given IM were safe and acceptable • Mild to moderate injection site pain was the most common adverse event • RPV Accumulation • Modest but significant accumulation of RPV was seen in all matrices TUAC0103
Overall Summary (2) • Viral inhibition of both Clade B and Clade C rectal explant infection persisted out up to 4 months after the last injection of LA RPV • Magnitude of suppression of Clade C >> Clade B explant infection • Cervical explant infection was only suppressed at one time point • 2 months after the first injection of LA RPV TUAC0103
