Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - Cabotegravir (CAB) tablet
Treatment: Drugs - Rilpivirine (RPV) tablet
Treatment: Drugs - Cabotegravir - Injectable Suspension (CAB LA)
Treatment: Drugs - Rilpivirine - Injectable Suspension (RPV LA)
Treatment: Drugs - 2 NRTIs plus an INI, NNRTI, or PI

Experimental: CAB LA + RPV LA every 4 weeks - Eligible subjects receive Oral CAB 30 mg + RPV 25 mg once daily for four weeks, IM CAB LA 600 mg and RPV LA 900 mg for the first injection, and Week 4 onwards subjects will receive CAB LA (400 mg) + RPV LA (600 mg) injections every 4 weeks until withdrawal.

Active comparator: Current antiretroviral regimen - Eligible subjects will continue their current anti-retroviral regimen (2 NRTIs plus an INI, NNRTI, or a PI) for 52 weeks. After 52 weeks subjects have the option to continue study participation by switching to CAB LA + RPV LA in the Extension Phase where they will follow the procedure of CAB LA + RPV LA arm.


Treatment: Drugs: Cabotegravir (CAB) tablet
It is a white oval shaped film coated 30 mg tablets for oral administration. CAB Tablet is composed of cabotegravir sodium, lactose monohydrate, microcrystalline cellulose, hypromellose, sodium starch glycolate, magnesium stearate, and white film-coat

The investigator is responsible for ensuring that subjects understand how to properly use these methods of contraception.
* Capable of giving signed informed consent which includes compliance with the requirements and restrictions listed in the consent form. Eligible subjects or their legal guardians (and next of kin when locally required), must sign a written Informed Consent Form before any protocol-specified assessments are conducted. Enrolment of subjects who are unable to provide direct informed consent is optional and will be based on local legal/regulatory requirements and site feasibility to conduct protocol procedures.
* Subjects enrolled in France must be affiliated to, or a beneficiary of, a social security category.
* All subjects participating in the study should be counselled on safer sexual practices including the use and benefit/risk of effective barrier methods (e.g., male condom) and on the risk of HIV transmission to an uninfected partner.

Summary
Brief summary
The Antiretroviral Therapy as Long Acting Suppression (ATLAS) study is being conducted to establish if human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1) infected adult subjects with current viral suppression on a regimen with 2 nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) plus a third agent, remain suppressed upon switching to a two-drug intramuscular (IM) long-acting (LA) regimen of cabotegravir (CAB) and rilpivirine (RPV). This is a Phase 3, multi-phase, randomized, open label, active-controlled, multicenter, parallel-group, non-inferiority study in HIV-1, antiretroviral therapy (ART)-adult subjects who are stably suppressed on a current antiretroviral (ARV) regimen. This study is designed to demonstrate the non-inferior antiviral activity of switching to a two drug CAB LA 400 mg + RPV LA 600 mg regimen every 4 weeks (Q4W: monthly) compared with maintenance of current ARV regimen containing 2 NRTIs plus an INI, NNRTI, or a PI. Eligible subjects will be randomized (1:1) into the Maintenance Phase at Day 1 to either continue current ART or switch to initiate oral therapy with CAB 30 mg + RPV 25 mg once daily for 4 Weeks followed by Q4 weekly (monthly) CAB LA + RPV LA injections. Following the Maintenance phase at Week 52, subjects who were randomized to continue their current ART regimen will be given an option to switch to CAB LA + RPV LA injections. Those subjects would transition to LA dosing, beginning with 4 weeks oral CAB + RPV therapy at Week 52, and receive the first IM CAB LA + RPV LA injections at Week 56.
