Switch to Doravirine/Islatravir (DOR/ISL) in Human Immunodeficiency Virus 1 (HIV-1) Participants Treated With Bictegravir/Emtricitabine/Tenofovir Alafenamide (BIC/FTC/TAF) (MK-8591A-018)
- Conditions
- HIV Infection
- Interventions
- Registration Number
- NCT04223791
- Lead Sponsor
- Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC
- Brief Summary
This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of a switch to MK-8591A (a fixed dose combination of doravirine and islatravir) in human immunodeficiency virus -1 (HIV-1)-infected participants virologically suppressed on a regimen of bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (BIC/FTC/TAF). The primary hypothesis is that a switch to MK-8591A will be non-inferior to continued treatment with BIC/FTC/TAF as assessed by the proportion of participants with HIV-1 ribonucleic acid (RNA) ≥50 copies/mL at Week 48. Participants who benefit from their assigned intervention (as determined by investigator) will be able to continue treatment through a 24-week study extension.

- Female is eligible to participate if she is not pregnant or breastfeeding, and at least one of the following conditions applies: Is not a woman of childbearing potential (WOCBP); is a WOCBP and using an acceptable contraceptive method, or be abstinent from heterosexual intercourse as their preferred and usual lifestyle; a WOCBP must have a negative highly sensitive pregnancy test ([urine or serum] as required by local regulations) within 24 hours before the first dose of study intervention; if a urine test cannot be confirmed as negative (e.g. an ambiguous result), a serum pregnancy test is required. In such cases, the participant must be excluded from participation if the serum pregnancy result is positive.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Participants With Human Immunodeficiency Virus 1 Ribonucleic Acid (HIV-1 RNA) ≥50 Copies/mL at Week 48 Week 48 The Abbott RealTime PCR assay with a reliable lower limit of quantification of 40 copies/mL was used to measure the HIV-1 RNA level in blood samples obtained at each visit. The percentage of participants with HIV-1 RNA ≥50 copies/mL at Week 48 is presented using the FDA Snapshot missing data approach.
Percentage of Participants With One or More Adverse Events (AEs) up to Week 48 Up to 48 weeks An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of a study intervention. The percentage of participants who experienced an AE up to week 48 is presented.
Percentage of Participants Who Discontinued Study Intervention Due to an AE up to Week 48 Up to 48 weeks An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of a study intervention. The percentage of participants who discontinued study intervention due to an AE up to week 48 is presented.
