Brief Summary
The study aims at evaluating the efficacy of VH3810109, dosed in accordance with the dosing schedule as either intravenous (IV) infusion or subcutaneous (SC) infusion with recombinant hyaluronidase (rHuPH20), in combination with cabotegravir (CAB) intramuscular (IM) dosed in accordance with the dosing schedule in virologically suppressed, Antiretroviral therapy (ART)-experienced adult participants living with HIV. VH3810109 plus rHuPH20 plus Cabotegravir arm of the study has been discontinued based on preliminary results. The study will be conducted in 3 parts followed by a Long-Term Follow-up phase (LTFU).

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Age
- Participant must be 18 to 70 years of age inclusive, at the time of signing the informed consent.
- Type of Participant and Disease Characteristics
- Must be on uninterrupted current regimen for at least 6 months prior to Screening. Any prior switch, defined as a change of a single drug or multiple drugs simultaneously, must have occurred due to tolerability/safety, access to medications, or convenience/simplification, and must NOT have been done for treatment failure (HIV-1 RNA ≥200 c/mL).
- Acceptable stable - ARV regimens prior to Screening include at least one NRTI plus:
- INSTI
- NNRTI
- Boosted PI (or atazanavir \[ATV\] unboosted)
- Excludes current use of cabotegravir or fostemsavir
- The addition, removal, or switch of a drug(s) that has been used to treat HIV based on antiretroviral properties of the drug constitutes a change in ART with the following limited exceptions:
- Historical changes in formulations of ART drugs or booster drugs will not constitute a change in ART regimen if the data support similar exposures and efficacy, and the change must have been at least 3 months prior to Screening.
- Historical maternal perinatal use of an NRTI when given in addition to an ongoing HAART will not be considered a change in ART regimen.
- A change in dosing scheme of the same drug from twice daily to once daily will not be considered a change in ART regimen if data support similar exposures and efficacy.
- For Part 2
- Any participant who has received or is currently receiving an INSTI at the time of screening must be on their first INSTI-containing regimen and must not have used any other INSTIs previously
- +17 more criteria
You may not qualify if:
- Medical conditions:
- Participants who are pregnant, breastfeeding, plan to become pregnant or breastfeed during the study
- Participants having skin disease or disorder (i.e. infection, inflammation, dermatitis, eczema, drug rash, drug allergy, psoriasis, food allergy, urticaria) or tattoo overlying potential injection sites which may interfere with interpretation of injection site reactions or administration of VH3810109 or CAB
- Participant has a gluteal implant/enhancement (including fillers) overlying the gluteus area or any other area which may significantly interfere with interpretation of injection site reactions
- Participants with known history of cirrhosis with or without viral hepatitis co-infection
- Participants with ongoing or clinically relevant pancreatitis
- Untreated syphilis infection (positive rapid plasma reagin (RPR) at screening) without documentation of treatment. Participants who are at least 7 days post completed treatment are eligible if recruitment is open
- Prior receipt of licensed or investigational HIV monoclonal antibody
- History of sensitivity to any of the study medications or their components or drugs of their class, or a history of drug or other allergy that, in the opinion of the investigator or Medical Monitor, contraindicates their participation
- Any condition which, in the opinion of the investigator, may interfere with the absorption, distribution, metabolism or excretion of the study drugs, cART or render the participant unable to take oral medication
- Treatment with an HIV-1 immunotherapeutic vaccine within 90 days of Screening
- Previous exposure to cabotegravir
- Participant enrolled in a prior or concurrent clinical study that includes a drug intervention within the last 30 days
- Participants with chronic hepatitis B (HBsAg positive) infection
- Individuals who are co-infected with HIV and Hepatitis B virus (HBV) will be excluded.
