Abstract excerpt
Lenacapavir (LEN) is a long-acting HIV-1 capsid inhibitor that binds to the HIV-1 capsid protein with picomolar antiviral activity, disrupting its function and inhibiting viral replication. Here, we identified capsid mutations in samples from individuals treated with LEN across two clinical trials that were considered potential LEN resistance-associated mutations. The gag encoding regions of clinical isolates...
