The discussion included two cabotegravir medications that are to be in sequence for the treatment of HIV infection and thus were voted on together.
Oral cabotegravir is to be taken once daily, in combination with oral rilpivirine (Edurantā¢), to ensure adverse reactions do not occur prior to the start of treatment with the long-acting injections of these medications. Cabenuva is a combination medication which contains cabotegravir extended release injectable suspension and rilpivirine extended release injectable suspension. Cabenuva is administered with a monthly injection.
MAC members in attendance unanimously voted to recommend the addition of both cabotegravir and Cabenuva to the ADAP formulary pending approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
II. Fostemsavir
On July 2, 2020, the FDA approved fostemsavir (Rukobia) as a first in class, twice daily oral HIV attachment inhibitor for treatment in HIV infected persons who have not been successfully treated with other therapies due to resistance, intolerance or safety considerations.
MAC members in attendance unanimously voted to recommend the addition of fostemsavir to the ADAP formulary.

Community-Acquired Pneumonia is an opportunistic infection among people living with HIV.
