Abstract

Antiretroviral agents with novel mechanisms and dosing intervals could expand treatment options for people with HIV. Lenacapavir, an inhibitor of capsid protein that makes use of a unique mechanism, can be administered orally or subcutaneously. We sought to explore the efficacy of lenacapavir in various combination regimens as initial and maintenance therapy for HIV.
