PrEP is an important means to reduce HIV infection.
Islatravir is an innovative NRTTI developed by Merck.
▲Islatravir's research and development plan (picture source: reference [2])
In this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2a clinical trial, 242 participants with low risk of HIV infection were randomly divided into three groups, with a monthly oral dose of 60 or 120 mg of islatravir, or Placebo
The trial results showed that islatravir showed good safety, and only less than 1% (n=2) of participants withdrew from the trial due to adverse events (AE)
Pharmacokinetic studies have shown that the minimum concentration of islatravir in peripheral blood mononuclear cells during the treatment period is still higher than the preset threshold that can maintain the therapeutic effect
