Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Bictegravir/Emtricitabine/Tenofovir Alafenamide Versus Abacavir/Dolutegravir/Lamivudine in Human Immunodeficiency Virus-1 (HIV-1) Infected, Antiretroviral Treatment-Naive Adults

February 7, 2022 updated by: Gilead Sciences

A Phase 3, Randomized, Double-Blind Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of GS-9883/Emtricitabine/Tenofovir Alafenamide Versus Abacavir/Dolutegravir/Lamivudine in HIV-1 Infected, Antiretroviral Treatment-Naive Adults

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a fixed dose combination (FDC) containing bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (B/F/TAF) versus a FDC containing abacavir/dolutegravir/lamivudine (ABC/DTG/3TC) in HIV-1 infected, antiretroviral treatment naive-adults.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percentage of Participants Who Achieved HIV-1 RNA < 50 Copies/mL at Week 48 as Defined by the US FDA-Defined Snapshot Algorithm
Time Frame: Week 48
The percentage of participants achieving HIV-1 RNA < 50 copies/mL at Week 48 was analyzed using the snapshot algorithm, which defines a participant's virologic response status using only the viral load at the predefined time point within an allowed window of time, along with study drug discontinuation status.

Percentage of Participants Who Achieved HIV-1 RNA < 50 Copies/mL at Week 48 Open-Label as Defined by Missing = Excluded Algorithm
Time Frame: Baseline, open-label Week 48
The percentage of participants with HIV-1 RNA < 50 copies/mL was analyzed using Missing = Excluded for imputing missing HIV-1 RNA values using the All B/F/TAF Analysis Set. All missing data was excluded in the computation of the percentages (ie, missing data points were excluded from both the numerator and denominator in the computation). The denominator for percentages at a visit was the number of participants in the all B/F/TAF analysis set with non-missing HIV-1 RNA value at that visit.
Baseline, open-label Week 48
Percentage of Participants Who Achieved HIV-1 RNA < 50 Copies/mL at Week 48 Open-Label as Defined by Missing = Failure Algorithm
Time Frame: Baseline, open-label Week 48
The percentage of participants with HIV-1 RNA < 50 copies/mL was analyzed using Missing = Failure for imputing missing HIV-1 RNA values using the All B/F/TAF Analysis Set. All missing data was treated as HIV-1 RNA ≥ 50 copies/mL. The denominator for percentages was the number of participants in all B/F/TAF analysis set.
