It was a great pleasure to meet with Susan Swindells (University of Nebraska, Omaha, NE, USA) to discuss the FLAIR and ATLAS study results, following the recent FDA approval of cabotegravir + rilpivirine for the treatment of HIV-1.

Questions:

  1. What are the advantages of Cabenuva (cabotegravir + rilpivirine) compared to current treatment regimens?
  2. Could you give us a brief overview of the FLAIR and ATLAS studies?
  3. What did the findings of the FLAIR and ATLAS studies teach us about the efficacy of the treatment regimen?
  4. What were the study findings in terms of patient preference data?
  5. Which patients are most likely to benefit from this regimen and in whom is it contraindicated?

Disclosures: Susan Swindells’ institution has received research grants from ViiV Healthcare.

Support: Interview and filming supported by Touch Medical Media.
