LONDON--( BUSINESS WIRE )--ViiV Healthcare, the global specialist HIV company majority owned by GSK, with Pfizer and Shionogi as shareholders, will share new data from its industry-leading HIV treatment and prevention portfolio and pipeline at HIV Glasgow 2024, being held in Glasgow, Scotland from 10 – 13 November 2024. Spanning 42 abstracts, the data showcases long-acting and two-drug regimens as care options for diverse populations in the face of a continuing HIV epidemic. Harmony P. Garges, MD, Senior Vice President and Chief Medical Officer at ViiV Healthcare, said: “ViiV Healthcare is the first company to develop and launch long-acting options and two-drug regimens, and these therapies are transforming how physicians and providers treat and prevent HIV today. We continue evaluating how diverse populations living with or impacted by HIV respond to our therapies in the real world. Data from these studies include more than 10,000 people using Vocabria + Rekambys , more than 50,000 people using Dovato and more than 1,300 people using Apretude 1 . At HIV Glasgow, ViiV Healthcare is showcasing new, compelling data from our portfolio that reinforces how our medicines impact health outcomes and contribute to ending the HIV epidemic. ” Key data to be presented at HIV Glasgow 2024 by ViiV Healthcare and its study partners will include: Analysis of cabotegravir + rilpivirine long-acting (CAB+RPV LA) in the real-world and across phase 3/3b studies : Findings from a large-scale post hoc analysis of the complete long-acting HIV treatment regimen CAB+RPV LA will be presented. The analysis, which pooled data from over 2,500 participants across four major phase 3/3b clinical trials (FLAIR, ATLAS, ATLAS-2M, and SOLAR), will compare virologic outcomes and isolated viraemic events between daily oral HIV treatment and CAB+RPV LA. 2 Furthermore, the real-world utilisation of CAB+RPV LA will be explored in an analysis of adherence and persistence in a Canadian patient support program. These analyses will add to the growing body of clinical and real-world evidence for CAB+RPV LA and offer additional insights to healthcare providers on outcomes for CAB+RPV LA in diverse populations. Data exploring the use of dolutegravir/lamivudine (DTG/3TC) in antiretroviral-naïve people living with HIV: Findings will be presented from the Fundación Huésped-sponsored DOLCE study. This is the first study to fully focus on evaluating the efficacy and safety of the 2-drug regimen DTG/3TC in people living with HIV with CD4 ≤ 200 cells/mm³. 3 Additionally, data will be shared from the phase IV D2ARLING study, which compared the efficacy and safety of DTG/3TC against a 3-drug regimen in an antiretroviral-naïve population that did not have baseline drug-resistance testing results available. 4 Many guidelines recommend baseline drug resistance testing prior to antiretroviral therapy (ART) initiation, that may not always be readily accessible, reinforcing the need and impact of these data in an antiretroviral-naïve population. Cost-effectiveness and usage patterns for long-acting HIV prevention: Findings from a cost-effectiveness study examining the economic and public-health impact of cabotegravir long-acting (CAB LA) for HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) in Canada will be presented. Researchers will compare the impact of the introduction of CAB LA for PrEP against daily oral PrEP (TDF/FTC) and no PrEP usage on cost savings and quality-adjusted life years. 5 New findings from the PROTECT survey will be shared, exploring differences in interest and intention to use long-acting PrEP among men who have sex with men and heterosexual men and women in 20 European countries. 6,7 Advancing novel mechanisms of action in HIV research: New findings from the BANNER study of VH3810109 (N6LS), an investigational, broadly neutralising antibody (bNAb), will be presented. Previously presented phase IIa proof-of-concept findings from the BANNER study suggested VH109 was well-tolerated and efficacious in people living with HIV. 8 Researchers will share new findings exploring the correlation between baseline phenotypic sensitivity to N6LS and virologic response after treatment with N6LS. 9 Additional research evaluating N6LS will focus on administration and dose responsiveness, adding to the growing body of evidence supporting the bNAb as a potential new approach to treating HIV. 10 ViiV Healthcare-sponsored or supported studies to be presented at HIV Glasgow 2024: Title First Author Presentation Cabotegravir + rilpivirine long-acting Similar virologic outcomes and frequency of isolated viraemic events (blips, low-level viraemia and suspected virologic failure) between oral and long-acting antiretroviral therapy: a pooled analysis of phase 3/3b cabotegravir + rilpivirine long-acting studies J.

An older form of hormone therapy taken to ease the symptoms of menopause could increase the risk of ovarian cancer, according to results released Thursday from two studies involving tens of thousands of women. Another hormonal regimen didnt seem to carry this same risk, researchers found.The results should help settle debate over the relative risk of cancer associated with estrogen- and progestin-based hormonal therapy. Still, researchers noted, the absolute risk of ovarian cancer associated with either regimen is low.Before these randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trials, observational studies examining the influence of estrogen plus progestin on ovarian and endometrial cancers gave mixed results, said Rowan Chlebowski, of the Lundquist Institute in California, in a statement on the findings. Our study provides the only long-term information from a randomized clinical trial on two common cancers in postmenopausal women for two of the most commonly used medications.Part of the Womens Health Initiative that began in 1991, the studies ran between 1993 and 1998 and enrolled more than 27,000 women aged 50 to 79 years from across the U.S. The findings, which stem from a 20-year follow-up analysis, will be presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncologys annual meeting, being held in Chicago from May 31 to June 4.For postmenopausal women, hormone therapy has long been used to help manage hot flashes and sleep disturbances. During the time of the studies, the standard option for women who had had a hysterectomy, or their uteruses removed, was conjugated equine estrogen, or CEE. Women who still had a uterus often received CEE plus medroxyprogesterone acetate, or MPA.The WHI studies randomized women without a uterus to either CEE or a placebo, and those who had a uterus to receive CEE plus MPA or a placebo.Results show that CEE was associated with a higher risk of developing ovarian cancer compared to placebo, with 35 cases in the hormone therapy group versus 17 in the placebo group. The risk of dying from ovarian cancer was almost three times higher with among CEE-treated women than in those given placebo.But among women with uteruses who took CEE plus MPA, there was no statistically significant increase in the risk of developing ovarian cancer, or in dying from it. Notably, women on this regimen had a 28% lower risk of developing uterine cancer, researchers found.While this new information is an important part of patient counseling and education, given the low numbers, it should not necessarily impact a woman's decision to take menopausal hormone therapy for symptomatic relief of menopausal symptoms, said Eleonora Teplinsky, a physician at Valley Mount Sinai Comprehensive Cancer Care, in a statement provided by ASCO.CEE was for years a common menopausal treatment. But its use declined following prior WHI findings on associated heart risks that led to Food and Drug Administration warnings.Hormonal therapy is not currently recommended for all postmenopausal women. Groups like the American Cancer Society have previously flagged ovarian cancer risk, while the FDA has highlighted the risk of endometrial cancer. The regulator advises women who do take hormonal therapy for menopausal symptoms to use the lowest dose for as short a time as possible.However, WHI researchers noted that ovarian cancer is not currently incorporated as a risk in prescribing guidelines for menopausal hormone therapy. They also suggested that their findings prompt reconsideration of advice around estrogen-only use in ovarian cancer survivors.Some drugmakers, meanwhile, are developing non-hormonal medications that could become an alternative to hormone therapy for treating vasomotor symptoms.
