Safety endpoint: Proportion of participants experiencing any Grade 2 or higher clinical adverse events (AEs) and laboratory abnormalities among participants who receive at least one injection of CAB LA.
Tolerability endpoint: Proportion of participants who receive at least 1 injection and who discontinue receiving injections prior to the full course of injections due to intolerability of injection, frequency of injections or burden of study procedures.
