On 29 July 2019, ViiV Healthcare issued a press release announcing that the cabotegravir/rilpivirine long acting intramuscular injection has been submitted to the European Medicine Agency (EMA). It is likely that this will take 12 months. [1]
The submission is based on results from the phase 3 ATLAS and FLAIR studies. [2]
US submission to the FDA was three months earlier in April 2019, with a priority review expected by end of December 2019. [3]
