Brief Summary

The primary objectives of this study are:

Part A: To evaluate the short-term antiviral activity of lenacapavir (formerly GS-6207) with respect to the maximum reduction of plasma HIV-1 RNA (log10 copies/mL) from Day 1 through Day 10 compared to placebo in HIV-1 infected adults who are antiretroviral treatment naive or are experienced but capsid inhibitor (CAI) naive.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Part A and Part B: Maximum Reduction From Day 1 (Baseline) Through Day 10 in Plasma HIV-1 RNADay 1 through Day 10

Maximum reduction is defined as the minimum of change from baseline in plasma HIV-1 RNA (i.e. smallest change in HIV-RNA from baseline).

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Part A and Part B: Percentage of Participants Experiencing Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)Day 1 through 225 days

An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant administered a medicinal product, which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the treatment. An AE could therefore be any unfavorable and/or unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. TEAEs were defined as any AE with an onset date on or after the study drug start date.

Part A and Part B: Percentage of Participants Experiencing Treatment Emergent Laboratory AbnormalitiesDay 1 through 225 days

Treatment-emergent laboratory abnormalities were defined as values that increase at least one toxicity grade from baseline. The most severe graded abnormality from all tests was counted for each participant.
