The purpose of this study is to evaluate the steady state pharmacokinetics (PK) of rilpivirine (RPV) and determine the appropriate dose of RPV in combination with other antiretrovirals (ARVs) in participants aged greater than or equal to 2 to less than 12 years and to evaluate the safety and tolerability of RPV in combination with other ARVs in participants of same age group over a 48-week treatment period with primary endpoint at Week 24.

Participants infected with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) are routinely treated with combinations of multiple drugs which reduces HIV-1 ribonucleic acid (RNA) to undetectable levels in a substantial proportion of participants and counteracts the risk of viral resistance development. RPV is a potent non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) with in vitro activity against wild type (WT) HIV-1 and against NNRTI-resistant HIV-1 mutants. A medical need still exists for the development of age/weight appropriate formulations in children less than (<) 12 years of age. In this study, participants will switch to RPV plus other ARVs. The primary analysis will be performed at Week 24. A participant will be considered to have completed the study if he or she has completed assessments at Week 48 of the study intervention phase. The total study duration for each participant, including screening and study intervention phases, will be approximately 54 weeks. Key efficacy assessments include determination of plasma HIV-1 RNA viral load and measurement of CD4+ cell count. Key safety assessments will include the monitoring of (serious) adverse events ([S]AEs) and HIV-related events, clinical laboratory tests, cardiovascular safety monitoring (vital signs and 12 lead electrocardiogram [ECGs]), and physical examination (including growth).

The investigator-selected ARVs, including but not limited to N(t)RTIs (example, azidothymidine [AZT], abacavir [ABC], tenofovir alafenamide [TAF], or tenofovir disoproxil fumarate [TDF] in combination with emtricitabine [FTC] or lamivudine [3TC]), whichever are approved and marketed or considered local standard of care for children aged between 2 and < 12 years in a particular country are to be administered. Integrase inhibitors (for example, dolutegravir [DTG] or raltegravir) can also be administered in combination with RPV, as appropriate.
Time frame: Predose up to 24 hour post-dose at anytime during Day 28 to Day 32 (Week 4)
AUC(0-24h) was defined the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time of administration up to 24 hours postdose of rilpivirine. As planned, data was not summarized for arms where number of participants analyzed was less than 3. Only individual participant data was available and reported in this outcome measure. Out of the 2 participants weighing <20 kg who received rilpivirine 15 mg, 1 participant switched to rilpivirine 12.5 mg group after the first 4 weeks. This participant was counted in the <20 kg rilpivirine 12.5 mg group for the pharmacokinetic assessments, hence the number of participants analyzed for this outcome measure in this arm are exceeding the participants that started this arm. As per protocol, the intensive PK samples were collected at anytime during Day 28 to Day 32 after first dose at the specified dose regimen.

Time frame: From Day 1 up to Weeks 24 and 48
Percentage of participants with a HIV-1 RNA less than (<) 50 copies per mL and greater than or equal to (>=)50 copies/mL were assessed using Food and Drug Administration (FDA) snapshot approach which defines a participant's virologic response status using only the viral load at the predefined time point within a window of time, along with study drug discontinuation status. HIV-1 RNA level <50 copies per mL, was considered as virologic success and >= 50 copies/mL was considered as virological failure as per the snapshot approach. The FDA snapshot analysis at Week 24 and Week 48 was based on the last observed plasma viral load data within the visit window (that is, Weeks 24 and 48).
Time frame: From Day 1 up to Weeks 24 and 48
Percentage of participants with viral load (plasma HIV-1 RNA levels) <400 copies/mL and >=400 copies/mL were assessed by the FDA snapshot approach which defines a participant's virologic response status using only the viral load at the predefined time point within a window of time, along with study drug discontinuation status. HIV-1 RNA level <400 copies per mL, was considered as virologic success and >=400 copies/mL was considered as virological failure as per the snapshot approach. The FDA snapshot analysis at Week 24 and Week 48 was based on the last observed plasma viral load data within the visit window (that is, Weeks 24 and 48).
Time frame: From baseline (Day 1) up to Weeks 24 and 48
The immunologic change was determined by changes in CD4+ cell count using non-completer = failure imputation, that was, missing values after discontinuation were imputed with the baseline value, thus resulting in a 0 change. For intermittent missing data, last observation carried forward (LOCF) approach was applied.

Time frame: Weeks 24 and 48
Percentage of participants with viral genotype at the time of virologic failure (that is, HIV 1 RNA >=50 copies/mL and >=400 copies/mL) per FDA snapshot approach were reported. Confirmed virologic failure was defined as 2 consecutive HIV-1 RNA plasma viral load measurements >=200 copies/mL and suspected virologic failure was defined as HIV-1 RNA >=200 copies/mL. No participant achieved virologic failure hence this outcome measure could not be evaluated.
