Inclusion Criteria
  • Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) co-infection:

    • Must be HIV antiretroviral treatment naive with plasma HIV-1 ribonucleic acid (RNA) ≥ 500 copies/mL at screening
    • ≤ 10 days of prior therapy with any antiretroviral agent, including lamivudine and entecavir, following a diagnosis of HIV-1 infection (except the use for pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) or post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP), up to one month prior to screening)
    • Screening genotype report must show sensitivity to emtricitabine (FTC) and tenofovir (TFV). This report will be provided by Gilead Sciences. Alternatively, if genotype results from a local laboratory obtained ≤ 90 days prior to screening visit date show sensitivity to these drugs, this genotype will be acceptable to fulfill this inclusion criterion in the event that the genotype obtained at screening is not yet available and all other inclusion/exclusion criteria have been confirmed
  • HBV co-infection:

    • Must be hepatitis B virus (HBV) treatment naive (defined as < 12 weeks of oral antiviral treatment)
    • Screening HBV deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) ≥ 2000 IU/mL
  • Hepatic transaminases (aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT)) ≤ 10 x upper limit of normal (ULN)

  • Total bilirubin ≤ 2.5 x ULN

Key

Exclusion Criteria
  • Hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody positive and HCV RNA detectable
  • Individuals experiencing decompensated cirrhosis (eg, ascites, encephalopathy, or variceal bleeding) or with Child-Pugh-Turcotte (CPT) C impairment
  • Current alcohol or substance use judged by the Investigator to potentially interfere with study compliance
  • Active, serious infections (other than HIV-1 and HBV infection) requiring parenteral antibiotic or antifungal therapy within 30 days prior to Day 1
  • Participation in any other clinical trial, including observational studies, without prior approval from the sponsor is prohibited while participating in this trial

Open-label Extension Phase: B/F/TAF from B/F/TAFB/F/TAFAfter Week 96, participants will continue to take their blinded study drug and attend visits every 12 weeks until the End of Blinded Treatment Visit. Following the End of Blinded Treatment Visit, participants in a country where B/F/TAF FDC is not available will be given the option to receive B/F/TAF FDC in an open-label extension phase for up to 48 weeks, or until the product becomes accessible through an access program, or until Gilead elects to discontinue the study in that country, whichever occurs first.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Participants With HIV-1 RNA < 50 Copies/mL at Week 48 as Defined by the US FDA-Defined Snapshot Algorithm (Co-primary Endpoint)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. Percentages were rounded-off.

Percentage of Participants With Plasma Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) DNA < 29 IU/mL at Week 48 as Defined by Missing = Failure Approach (Co-primary Endpoint)Week 48

This outcome measure was analyzed using a Missing = Failure approach. In this approach, all missing data were treated as HBV DNA ≥ 29 IU/mL. Percentages were rounded-off.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Participants With HIV-1 RNA < 50 Copies/mL at Week 96 as Defined by the US FDA-Defined Snapshot AlgorithmWeek 96

The percentage of participants achieving HIV-1 RNA \< 50 copies/mL at Week 96 was analyzed using the snapshot algorithm, which was defined as 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. Percentages were rounded-off.

This outcome measure was analyzed using a Missing = Failure approach. In this approach, all missing data were treated as HBV DNA ≥ 29 IU/mL. Percentages were rounded-off.

Percentage of Participants With Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) Normalization at Week 48 by American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) CriteriaWeek 48

ALT normalization was defined as an ALT value that changed from above the normal range at baseline to within the normal range at the given post baseline visit. The upper limit of the normal range (ULN) for ALT using the 2018 AASLD normal range was ≤ 25 U/L for females and ≤ 35 U/L for males. The Missing = Failure approach was used for this analysis. Percentages were rounded off.

Percentage of Participants With ALT Normalization at Week 96Week 96

ALT normalization was defined as an ALT value that changed from above the normal range at baseline to within the normal range at the given post baseline visit. The upper limit of the normal range (ULN) for ALT using the 2018 AASLD normal range was ≤ 25 U/L for females and ≤ 35 U/L for males. The Missing = Failure approach was used for this analysis. Percentages were rounded-off.

Percentage of Participants With Hepatitis B Surface Antigen (HBsAg) Loss at Week 48Week 48

HBsAg loss was defined as qualitative HBsAg changing from positive at baseline to negative at a post baseline visit. HBsAg seroconversion was defined as HBsAg loss and HBsAb changes from negative or missing at baseline to positive at a post baseline visit. The Missing = Failure approach was used for this analysis. Percentages were rounded-off.

Percentage of Participants With HBsAg Loss at Week 96Week 96

HBsAg loss was defined as qualitative HBsAg changing from positive at baseline to negative at a post baseline visit. HBsAg seroconversion was defined as HBsAg loss and HBsAb changes from negative or missing at baseline to positive at a post baseline visit. The Missing = Failure approach was used for this analysis. Percentages were rounded-off.
