- Conditions
- Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1

- Drug: D/C/F/TAFDrug: Boosted Protease Inhibitor (bPI)Drug: FTC/TDF
- Registration Number
- NCT02269917
- Lead Sponsor
- Janssen R&D Ireland
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate non-inferiority in efficacy while switching to a once-daily single-tablet regimen containing darunavir (DRV)/ cobicistat (COBI)/ emtricitabine (FTC)/ tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) (D/C/F/TAF tablet) relative to continuing the current regimen consisting of a boosted protease inhibitor (bPI) combined with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (FTC/TDF) in virologically-suppressed (human immunodeficiency virus type 1 ribonucleic acid \[HIV-1 RNA\] concentrations less than \[\<\] 50 copies per milliliter \[copies/mL\]) HIV-1 infected participants.
- Detailed Description
This is a randomized (study medication assigned to participants by chance), active-controlled (study in which the experimental treatment or procedure is compared to a standard treatment or procedure), open-label (participants and researchers are aware about the treatment, participants are receiving), multicenter (when more than 1 hospital or medical school team work on a medical research study), study in virologically-suppressed, HIV-1 infected adult participants. The study will include a Screening Period of approximately 30 days (up to maximum 6 weeks), a controlled Treatment Period of 48 weeks, an Extension Phase of 48 weeks. All eligible participants will be randomly assigned to receive either current treatment regimen - a bPI (limited to DRV with low-dose ritonavir \[rtv\] or COBI, atazanavir \[ATV\] with rtv or COBI, or lopinavir \[LPV\] with rtv) combined with FTC/TDF, or experimental treatment regimen - D/C/F/TAF once-daily single-tablet for 48 weeks. After completion of week 48, participants assigned to the experimental treatment will continue with D/C/F/TAF in the extension phase up to week 96 . Participants who continued their current regimen will receive the experimental treatment (if all criteria are fulfilled) at week 52 up to week 96. As from Week 96, all participants will be given the option to continue D/C/F/TAF treatment, if they wish and if they continue to benefit from it until D/C/F/TAF becomes commercially available and is reimbursed, or can be accessed through another source in the country where he/she is living,or until the sponsor terminates clinical development. A bone investigation substudy will be performed at selected study sites, to assess bone biomarkers and energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans, in approximately 300 participants (200 in the D/C/F/TAF treatment arm versus 100 in the control arm) who provide informed consent for the substudy.

For the D/C/F/TAF group, reference is the comparative treatment phase baseline as in Week 48 analysis (Reference 1). For the Switch to D/C/F/TAF (late switch) group, the last value prior to the switch was used as reference (reference 2).
Change From Reference in UPCR at Week 96 From Reference 1 to Week 96 for D/C/F/TAF+ F/TDF Group and Reference 2 to Week 96 for Switch to D/C/F/TAF Change from reference in UPCR was assessed at Week 96. For the D/C/F/TAF group, reference is the comparative treatment phase baseline as in Week 48 analysis (Reference 1). For the Switch to D/C/F/TAF (late switch) group, the last value prior to the switch was used as reference (reference 2).
Percent Change From Reference in Levels of PTH at Week 96 From Reference 1 to Week 96 for D/C/F/TAF+ FTC/TDF Group and Reference 2 to Week 96 for Switch to D/C/F/TAF Percent change from reference in PTH at Week 96 was reported. For the D/C/F/TAF group, reference is the comparative treatment phase baseline as in Week 48 analysis (Reference 1). For the Switch to D/C/F/TAF (late switch) group, the last value prior to the switch was used as reference (reference 2).
Change From Reference in BMD T-score of Hip and Spine at Week 96 From Reference 1 to Week 96 for D/C/F/TAF+ FTC/TDF Group and Reference 2 to Week 96 for Switch to D/C/F/TAF BMD status was assessed using BMD T-scores; normal bone status was defined by a BMD T-score \>= -1, osteopenia by a T-score \>= -2.5 to \<-1.0, and osteoporosis by a T-score \<-2.5. For the D/C/F/TAF group, reference is the comparative treatment phase baseline as in Week 48 analysis (Reference 1). For the Switch to D/C/F/TAF (late switch) group, the last value prior to the switch was used as reference (reference 2).
Percentage of Participants With Non-Virologic Rebound by Kaplan-Meier Estimates Week 96 to end of extension (at every 6 months, up to 42 months) Virologic rebound is defined as participants who show confirmed HIV-1 RNA \>=50 copies/mL, or for which the last available (single) HIV-1 RNA value on treatment was \>=50 copies/mL. Here, Kaplan-Meier estimates (%) of non-virologic rebound at every 6 months interval are presented.
Percentage of Participants With Treatment Adherence of >95% From Week 96 to End of Extension Week 96 to end of extension (up to 42 months) Treatment adherence (defined as adherence of \>95%) was assessed by the drug accountability and was calculated cumulative from start of treatment/switch to last study drug intake by determination of the cumulative treatment adherence in participants who returned all dispensed bottles prior to or at the last visit in the study from Week 96 to end of extension.
Percentage of Participants With HIV RNA <50, <20, <200 Copies/mL Post Week 96 to End of Extension Week 96 to end of extension (up to 42 months) Percentage of participants with HIV RNA \<50, \<20, \<200 copies/mL post Week 96 to end of extension were reported.
Percentage of Participants Experiencing Grade 3 and 4 AEs, Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), and Premature Discontinuation Due to AEs Post-Week 96 to End of Extension From Week 96 to end of extension (up to 42 months) AE is any untoward medical occurrence in participant who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. Grade 3 (Severe) events were symptoms causing inability to perform usual social \& functional activities. Grade 4 (Life-threatening) events were symptoms causing inability to perform basic self-care functions or medical or operative intervention indicated to prevent permanent impairment, persistent disability, or death. SAE is any AE that results in: death, persistent or significant disability/incapacity, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, is life-threatening experience, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect and may jeopardize participant and/or may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed above.
