Phase 3 Trial of Weekly Oral Islatravir-Lenacapavir for HIV-1 Treatment.

Why it matters

Adherence to daily oral HIV therapy remains a challenge, and long-acting options can reduce pill burden and dosing frequency. This trial provides high-level evidence that a once-weekly oral regimen maintains virologic suppression comparably to a standard daily regimen, potentially offering a new treatment strategy for patients who prefer less frequent dosing.
