Baseline was defined as the mean of the Baseline (Day 1) and pre-treatment visit values.
Average Area Under the Curve Minus Baseline (AAUCMB) of Plasma HIV-1 RNA Through the Entire Study Period	Up to Week 40	The area under the plasma HIV-1 RNA curve (AUC) was computed using the trapezoidal rule for all assessments (scheduled and unscheduled) at their actual time points. Baseline was defined as the mean of the Baseline (Day 1) and pre-treatment visit values. Participants without a Baseline assessment was removed from the analysis. The AAUCMB was computed by the AUC divided by the duration of the profile (i.e., the number of days on randomized therapy) minus the Baseline measurement. Data is reported up to Week 40 only due to early termination of the study.

It consists of two pages comprising the EuroQoL 5 Dimension 5 level (EQ-5D5) descriptive system and the EQ visual analogue scale (VAS). The EQ-5D5 comprises of five dimensions of health (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and depression/anxiety). Each dimension comprises five levels of response (no problems, mild problems, moderate problems, moderate to extreme problems, and extreme problems). The EQ VAS records the respondents self-rated health status on a vertical graduated (0 to 100) VAS. Higher score represented greater severity of diseases.

The symptom index comprised 32 common and HIV-specific symptoms scored in terms of presence/absence (1, 0) and severity on a 4-point scale (0 = not at all to 3 =quite a bit). Higher score represented greater severity of symptoms.
