Overview

Assessment of Needs

Long-acting antiretroviral formulations have the potential to improve convenience and adherence compared with standard daily oral regimens. This webinar will review new investigational drugs, including long-acting formulations that are in preclinical and clinical development. There will also be a discussion on challenges in using these agents, including managing adverse effects and drug-drug interactions and deciding what to do about long-lasting drug concentrations at the end of a dosing interval that could lead to the emergence of drug resistance. Novel approaches to drug delivery, including implant devices, gastric reservoirs, and transdermal microneedle patches, will also be reviewed. It’s gonna’ be fabulous!

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this webinar, learners will be able to:

  • List investigational oral antiretroviral drugs in current clinical development
  • List investigational long acting antiretroviral drugs in current clinical development
  • Describe potential advantages and disadvantages of long acting parenteral antiretroviral formulations as compared to oral formulations

Conflicts of Interest

In the interest of maintaining the independence of its CME activities, and in accordance with the policies of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), the IAS–USA requires all persons with control of content (eg, faculty, IAS–USA Board members, and program staff) to disclose any financial relationships that they or their spouses or partners have had with commercial companies within the past 12 months. Any real or apparent conflicts of interest of those parties are resolved prior to the CME activity being delivered. Individuals who refuse to disclose financial interests may not participate in an IAS–USA CME activity.

The ACCME defines a commercial interest as “any entity producing, marketing, re-selling, or distributing health care goods or services consumed by, or used on, patients. The ACCME does not consider providers of clinical service directly to patients to be commercial interests – unless the provider of clinical service is owned, or controlled by, an ACCME-defined commercial interest.”
