Study to Evaluate Switching From a TDF-Containing Combination Regimen to a TAF-Containing Fixed Dose Combination (FDC) in Virologically-Suppressed, HIV-1 Positive Participants

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the non-inferiority of switching to a tenofovir alafenamide (TAF)-containing fixed dose combination (FDC) relative to maintaining tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF)-containing combination regimens in virologically suppressed HIV-infected participants as determined by having HIV-1 RNA < 50 copies/mL at Week 48.

  • Female participants who utilize hormonal contraceptive as one of their birth control methods must have used the same method for at least three months prior to study dosing
  • Female participants who have stopped menstruating for ≥ 12 months but do not have documentation of ovarian hormonal failure must have a serum follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) level at screening within the post-menopausal range based on the Central Laboratory reference range

Primary outcomes

  1. Percentage of Participants With HIV-1 RNA < 50 Copies/mL at Week 48

    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 patient'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.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Percent Change From Baseline in Hip Bone Mineral Density (BMD) at Week 48

    Time frame: Baseline; Week 48

    Hip BMD was assessed by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scan. BMD is calculated as grams per square centimeter (g/cm^2); the mean (SD) percentage change is presented.

  2. Percent Change From Baseline in Spine BMD at Week 48

    Time frame: Baseline; Week 48

    Spine BMD was assessed by DXA scan. BMD is calculated as g/cm^2; the mean (SD) percentage change is presented.

  3. Change From Baseline in Serum Creatinine at Week 48

    Time frame: Baseline; Week 48

  4. Change From Baseline in the Overall EFV-related Symptom Assessment Score at Week 48

    Time frame: Baseline; Week 48

    The mean (SD) change of the overall EFV-related symptom assessment score is presented. The overall symptom score (ranging from 0 to 20) is the sum of the individual symptom scores ranging from 0 (no symptoms) to 4 (most severe symptoms) from the 5 EFV-related symptom assessments (dizziness, trouble sleeping, impaired concentration, sleepiness, and abnormal or vivid dream). A negative change from baseline indicates improvement.

    EFV-Related Symptom Analysis Set: participants who received EFV/FTC/TDF as prior treatment, received at least 1 dose of study drug, and completed EFV-related symptom assessments at the baseline visit and at least 1 postbaseline visit.

  5. Percentage of Participants With HIV-1 RNA < 50 Copies/mL at Week 96

    Time frame: Week 96

    The percentage of participants achieving HIV-1 RNA < 50 copies/mL at Week 96 was analyzed using the snapshot algorithm, which defines a patient'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.

  6. Percentage of Participants With HIV-1 RNA < 20 Copies/mL at Week 48

    Time frame: Week 48

    The percentage of participants achieving HIV-1 RNA < 20 copies/mL at Week 48 was analyzed using the snapshot algorithm, which defines a patient'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.

  7. Percentage of Participants With HIV-1 RNA < 20 Copies/mL at Week 96

    Time frame: Week 96

    The percentage of participants achieving HIV-1 RNA < 20 copies/mL at Week 96 was analyzed using the snapshot algorithm, which defines a patient'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.

  8. Change From Baseline in Cluster Determinant 4 (CD4) Cell Count at Week 48

    Time frame: Baseline; Week 48

    The analysis of CD4 cell count included values up to 1 day after the last dose date of randomized study drug.The change from baseline in CD4 cell count for the full analysis set was based on observed data (ie, Missing = Excluded) for the total and by the prior treatment regimen.

  9. Change From Baseline in CD4 Cell Count at Weeks 96

    Time frame: Baseline; Week 96

    The analysis of CD4 cell count included values up to 1 day after the last dose date of randomized study drug.The change from baseline in CD4 cell count for the full analysis set was based on observed data (ie, Missing = Excluded) for the total and by the prior treatment regimen.
