Overview
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.
Investigators
Eligibility Criteria
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
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
Arms & Interventions
F/TAF (Double-Blind)
F/TAF + ABC/3TC placebo + allowed 3rd antiretroviral (ARV) agent for 96 weeks After Week 96, participants will continue to take their blinded study drug and attend visits every 12 weeks until treatment assignments have been unblinded.
Intervention: F/TAF
F/TAF (Double-Blind)
F/TAF + ABC/3TC placebo + allowed 3rd antiretroviral (ARV) agent for 96 weeks After Week 96, participants will continue to take their blinded study drug and attend visits every 12 weeks until treatment assignments have been unblinded.
Intervention: ABC/3TC Placebo

ABC/3TC (Double-Blind)
ABC/3TC + F/TAF placebo + allowed 3rd ARV agent for 96 weeks After Week 96, participants will continue to take their blinded study drug and attend visits every 12 weeks until treatment assignments have been unblinded.
Intervention: F/TAF Placebo
ABC/3TC (Double-Blind)
ABC/3TC + F/TAF placebo + allowed 3rd ARV agent for 96 weeks After Week 96, participants will continue to take their blinded study drug and attend visits every 12 weeks until treatment assignments have been unblinded.
Intervention: 3rd ARV agent
Open-Label F/TAF
After 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.
Intervention: F/TAF
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Percentage of Participants With HIV-1 RNA < 50 Copies/mL at Week 48 as Determined by the FDA-Defined Snapshot Algorithm
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 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.
