Lenacapavir did so well at preventing HIV infection that it hit the threshold where the only ethical thing to do was stop the randomized trial and immediately offer it to literally every participant. That's huge news. www.npr.org/sections/goa...

A new way to prevent HIV delivers dramatic results in trial

The testing of lenacapavir was halted because results were so impressive — 100% effectiveness. The decision was made to give all participants the injection rather than the alternative daily pill.

There are many similarities between HIV and COVID-19. It would be nice if they could to a COVID trial for this drug.

I wonder if it is possible to learn anything from it for making other drugs a success too?

awesome!

Yesssssss

This is wonderful news.

Unblinding a study like this is rare. And wonderful.

I really hope there are no bad side effects, 'cause this is a *marvel*.

. . . oh my gawd that has GOT to be a record for the most fluoridated pharmaceutical molecule and it has a carbon triangle to boot
