Treatment and study plan

Primary outcomes

Change From Baseline in Absolute Cluster of Differentiation 4 (CD4) Cell Count

Time frame: Baseline (Week 0) to Week 144

Changes in participants' CD4 cell counts were assessed by measuring the change from Baseline in the number of CD4 cells at scheduled visits planned as part of routine care.
Change From Baseline in HIV-1 Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) Viral Load

Time frame: Baseline (Week 0) to Week 144

Changes in participants' HIV-1 RNA viral load were assessed by measuring the change from Baseline at scheduled visits planned as part of routine care.

Other outcomes

Prevalence of Adverse Events (Weeks 0-144), Per Event

Time frame: Weeks 0 to 144

Percentage of overall number of adverse events experienced during Weeks 0-144 by adverse event type. Doctors asked participants for adverse events, grouped them into categories given in the electronic case report form (eCRF). The list of adverse events included in the eCRF were hypertriglyceridemia, hypercholesterolemia, low high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, high low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, hyperglycemia, hyperbilirubinemia, elevated aspartate aminotransferase (AST), elevated alanine aminotransferase (ALT), elevated gamma glutamyl transferase (γGT), elevated alkaline phosphatase, stomatitis, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, mood disorder, neurocerebellar disorder, neurocontrol disorder, headache, fatigue, fever, other (listed as 'not specified').
Prevalence of Adverse Events (Weeks 0-144), Per Participant

Time frame: Weeks 0 to 144

Percentage of participants who experienced at least 1 adverse event during Weeks 0-144 by adverse event type. Doctors asked participants for adverse events, grouped them into categories given in the eCRF. The list of adverse events included in the eCRF were hypertriglyceridemia, hypercholesterolemia, low HDL cholesterol, high LDL cholesterol, hyperglycemia, hyperbilirubinemia, elevated AST, elevated ALT, elevated γGT, elevated alkaline phosphatase, stomatitis, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, mood disorder, neurocerebellar disorder, neurocontrol disorder, headache, fatigue, fever, other (listed as 'not specified').
