SAFETY & TOLERABILITY
IT STARTS WITH
UNDERSTANDING SAFETY AND TOLERABILITY
Every-2-month VOCABRIA + REKAMBYS was generally well-tolerated, as demonstrated through a robust clinical trial programme.1-4
SOLAR results were consistent with the overall profile of every-2-month VOCABRIA + REKAMBYS3
AE RATES OVER 12 MONTHS EXCLUDING INJECTION SITE REACTIONS (ISRs) (ITT-E)3
The most commonly reported drug-related AEs in the every-2-month VOCABRIA + REKAMBYS arm were pyrexia (3%), headache (2%), fatigue (2%) and diarrhoea (2%).3
In the daily oral therapy with BIC/FTC/TAF arm, the two drug-related AEs reported were weight gain (<1%) and abnormal hepatic function (<1%).3
If treatment is discontinued, it is essential to start ARV therapy no later than 2 months after the final injections (or 1 month if after first initiation injections) in order to minimise the risk of resistance.1,2
See the SmPC for important interactions and contraindications, warnings and precautions, and AEs and serious AEs.1,2
ISR BREAKDOWN3
The figure has been adapted by GSK based on ref. 3.
Most ISRs were Grade 1 or 2 (98% [n=1,886/1,915]), short-lived (median 3 days), with few participants discontinuing due to injection-related reasons.3
*Represents the number of participant who received an injection.3
†A single injection could result in more than one ISR. Grading was missed for one ISR event in the every-2-month VOCABRIA + REKAMBYS 'start with injections' group.3
‡There were no Grade 4 or Grade 5 ISRs.3
§Includes participants who discontinued due to ISR AEs, and an additional participant who withdrew from the study citing injection intolerability. This also includes one participant who was excluded from the primary analysis (mITT-E) population.3
Patient-reported ISRs decreased over time3
