Recruiting PHASE2 HIV Infections

New treatment option for HIV Infections

Official title A Phase 2b Study Evaluating Oral VH4524184 Regimens in Treatment Naïve Persons With HIV-1 (INNOVATE Study)

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07202546

What this study is testing

What is VH4524184?

VH4524184 is an investigational medicine, given as a pill taken by mouth, being studied as a potential treatment for hiv infections.

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
This clinical study is testing a new medication, VH4524184, to see if it can effectively treat HIV-1 in adults who have never received treatment for their infection. The study is comparing two different doses of VH4524184, each taken with the medications emtricitabine and tenofovir alafenamide (FTC/TAF), to a standard HIV treatment called dolutegravir and lamivudine (DTG/3TC).
