Lenacapavir as a Once-Yearly Injection for HIV Pre-exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP)
open to eligible people ages 16 years and up
The goal of this clinical study is to learn more about the study drug lenacapavir (LEN), safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (how LEN is absorbed, modified, distributed, and removed from the body of the participants) of once-yearly intramuscular for HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) in people with an indication for PrEP. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) and the safety and tolerability of intramuscular (IM) every 12 months (Q12M) LEN for PrEP among people with an indication for PrEP.

Emtricitabine/Tenofovir Alafenamide Switch Study for Transgender Individuals for HIV Pre-exposure Prophylaxis
Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients
The purpose of this study is to evaluate Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) levels in transgender-identifying or gender non-binary individuals taking versus not taking gender affirming hormone therapy. Subjects who have previously taken F/TDF as PrEP will continue with a fixed dose combination of daily oral F/TAF substituting for F/TDF. Subjects will receive the iTAB text messaging adherence reminders to provide personalized, automated text messages to support and monitor adherence that will vary by participant choice until 12 weeks after switching medication. This study will enroll 60 individuals to take F/TAF as PrEP for 48 weeks.

Lenacapavir and Emtricitabine/Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate (F/TDF) for Prevention of HIV in People Who Inject Drugs (HPTN 103)
Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients
The goals of this clinical study are to look at how lenacapavir (LEN) passes through the body and to assess the safety of LEN and emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (F/TDF) for pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) in people who inject drugs (PWID) in the United States (US). The primary objectives of this study are to characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) of LEN and to evaluate the safety of LEN and F/TDF for PrEP in US PWID.

Lenacapavir and Emtricitabine/Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate (F/TDF) in Prevention of HIV in Cisgender Women in the United States (HPTN 102)
Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients
The goal of this clinical study is to look at how lenacapavir (LEN) passes through the body and to assess the safety of LEN and emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (F/TDF) for prevention of HIV in the cisgender women in the US. The primary objectives of this study are: 1) to characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) of LEN in United States (US) cisgender women; 2) to evaluate the safety of LEN and F/TDF for pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) in US cisgender women; and 3) to evaluate the general acceptability of LEN injections and oral F/TDF in US cisgender women.

Lenacapavir for HIV Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis in People Who Are at Risk for HIV Infection
Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients
The goal of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the study drugs, lenacapavir (LEN) in preventing HIV infection, in participants ≥ 16 years of age who have condomless receptive anal sex with partners assigned male at birth and are at risk for HIV-1 infection. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of LEN for HIV-1 PrEP in participants ≥ 16 years of age who have condomless receptive anal sex with partners assigned male at birth at risk of HIV-1 infection.
