Switch Study to Evaluate F/TAF in HIV-1 Infected Adults Who Are Virologically Suppressed on Regimens Containing ABC/3TC

Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
HIV-1 Infection
Interventions
Drug: ABC/3TC
Drug: ABC/3TC Placebo
Drug: F/TAF Placebo
Drug: 3rd ARV agent
Registration Number
NCT02469246
Lead Sponsor
Gilead Sciences
Brief Summary

The primary objectives of this study are to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of switching abacavir/lamivudine (ABC/3TC) fixed-dose combination (FDC) tablets to emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (F/TAF) FDC tablets versus maintaining ABC/3TC in human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infected adults who are virologically suppressed on regimens containing ABC/3TC.

Inclusion Criteria
  • The ability to understand and sign a written informed consent form
  • On antiretroviral regimen containing ABC/3TC FDC in combination with one 3rd agent for ≥ 6 consecutive months prior to screening
  • Plasma HIV-1 RNA levels < 50 copies/mL for ≥ 6 months preceding the screening visit (measured at least twice using the same assay) and without experiencing two consecutive HIV-1 RNA above detectable levels after achieving a confirmed (two consecutive) HIV-1 RNA below detectable levels on the current regimen in the past year
  • Plasma HIV-1 RNA should be < 50 copies/mL at the screening visit
  • Normal ECG
  • Estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) ≥ 50 mL/min according to the Cockcroft Gault formula for creatinine clearance
  • Hepatic transaminases (AST and ALT) ≤ 5 × upper limit of normal (ULN)
  • Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 mg/dL, or normal direct bilirubin
  • Adequate hematologic function
  • Serum amylase ≤ 5 × ULN
  • Females of childbearing potential and males must agree to utilize highly effective contraception methods or be non-heterosexually active or practice sexual abstinence from screening throughout the duration of study treatment and for 30 days following the last dose of study drug

Key

Exclusion Criteria
  • A new AIDS-defining condition diagnosed within the 30 days prior to screening
  • Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) positive
  • Individuals experiencing decompensated cirrhosis
  • Individuals receiving ongoing treatment with bisphosphonate to treat bone disease (eg, osteoporosis)
  • Pregnant or lactating females
  • Have an implanted defibrillator or pacemaker
  • Current alcohol or substance use judged by the investigator to potentially interfere with study compliance
  • A history of malignancy within the past 5 years (prior to screening) or ongoing malignancy other than cutaneous Kaposi's sarcoma (KS), basal cell carcinoma, or resected, non-invasive cutaneous squamous carcinoma.
  • Active, serious infections (other than HIV-1 infection) requiring parenteral antibiotic or antifungal therapy within 30 days prior to Day 1 Visit
  • Any other clinical condition or prior therapy that, in the opinion of the investigator, would make the individual unsuitable for the study or unable to comply with dosing requirements
  • Participation in any other clinical trial (including observational trials) without prior approval
  • Medications excluded due to the potential for interaction with emtricitabine (FTC), TAF, ABC or 3TC

Note: Other protocol defined Inclusion/Exclusion criteria may apply.

Open-Label F/TAFF/TAFAfter the unblinding visit, in countries where F/TAF FDC is not commercially available, participants (except in certain countries such as the UK) will be given the option to receive open-label F/TAF (200/10 mg or 200/25 mg) FDC and attend study visits every 12 weeks until it becomes commercially available, or until Gilead terminates the study in that country.
Primary Outcome Measures

Percentage of Participants With HIV-1 RNA < 50 Copies/mL at Week 48 as Determined by the FDA-Defined Snapshot AlgorithmWeek 48

The percentage of participants achieving HIV-1 RNA \< 50 copies/mL at Week 48 was analyzed using the snapshot algorithm, which defines a participant'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.
