Open-Label Rollover Extension B/F/TAFB/F/TAFAt Week 96 or the End of E/C/F/TAF Visit (whichever occurs last), participants will be given the option to receive open-label bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (B/F/TAF) for at least 48 weeks.
E/C/F/TAFE/C/F/TAFParticipants will switch their current antiretroviral regimen to E/C/F/TAF and receive treatment for 96 weeks. After Week 96, participants in the United States (US) who wish to participate in the open-label (OL) rollover extension will continue to take E/C/F/TAF FDC until the End of E/C/F/TAF Visit.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
GEN Phase: Percentage of Participants Experiencing Treatment-Emergent Grade 3 or Higher Adverse Events Up to Week 48First Dose Date Up to Week 48

Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAE) were defined as AEs with onset dates on or after the study drug start date and no later than 30 days after the permanent discontinuation of the E/C/F/TAF (GEN Phase) study drug or all AEs for participants still on E/C/F/TAF. It also includes the AEs that led to premature discontinuation of E/C/F/TAF study drug. Clinical events and clinically significant laboratory abnormalities were graded according to the GSI Grading Scale for Severity of Adverse Events and Laboratory Abnormalities. Adverse events were graded as Grade 1 (mild), Grade 2 (moderate), Grade 3 (severe), or Grade 4 (life threatening).

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

The percentage of participants with HIV-1 RNA \< 50 copies/mL at Week 96 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.

Pharmacokinetic (PK) Parameter: AUCtau of Elvitegravir (EVG), Cobicistat (COBI), Emtricitabine (FTC), and Tenofovir (TFV)0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, and 24 hours postdose at or between Week 2 or Week 4

AUCtau is defined as area under the concentration versus time curve over the dosing interval (i.e., concentration of drug over time).

GEN Phase: Percentage of Participants Experiencing Treatment-Emergent Grade 3 or Higher Adverse Events Up to Week 96First Dose Date Up to Week 96

Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAE) were defined as events that met 1 or both of the following criteria as any AEs with onset dates on or after the study drug start date and no later than 30 days after the permanent discontinuation of the E/C/F/TAF (GEN Phase) study drug for participants who did not participate in the BVY OL extension phase or the day prior to the date of the first B/F/TAF study drug dose for participants who participated in the BVY OL extension phase. It also includes the AEs that led to premature discontinuation of E/C/F/TAF study drug. Clinical events and clinically significant laboratory abnormalities were graded according to the GSI Grading Scale for Severity of Adverse Events and Laboratory Abnormalities. Adverse events were graded as Grade 1 (mild), Grade 2 (moderate), Grade 3 (severe), or Grade 4 (life threatening).

GEN Phase: Percentage of Participants With HIV-1 RNA < 50 Copies/mL at Week 24 as Defined by the FDA Snapshot AlgorithmWeek 24

The percentage of participants with HIV-1 RNA \< 50 copies/mL at Week 24 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.

GEN Phase: Percentage of Participants With HIV-1 RNA < 50 Copies/mL at Week 96 Using the Missing = Excluded (M = E) ApproachWeek 96

The percentage of participants with HIV-1 RNA \< 50 copies/mL at Week 96 were analyzed using the M = E approach. In this approach, all missing data was excluded in the computation of the proportions.

BVY OL Extension Phase: Percentage of Participants With HIV-1 RNA < 50 Copies/mL at Week 48 Using the M = E ApproachWeek 48 of the BVY OL Extension Phase

The percentage of participants with HIV-1 RNA \< 50 copies/mL at Week 48 were analyzed using the M = E approach. In this approach, all missing data was excluded in the computation of the proportions.

GEN Phase: Percentage of Participants With HIV-1 RNA < 50 Copies/mL at Week 96 Using the Missing = Failure (M = F) ApproachWeek 96

The percentage of participants with HIV-1 RNA \< 50 copies/mL at Week 96 were analyzed using the M = F approach. In this approach, all missing data was treated as HIV-1 RNA ≥ 50 copies/mL.

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

The percentage of participants with 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.

BVY OL Extension Phase: Change From Baseline in CD4+ Cell Count at Week 48Baseline; Week 48 of the BVY OL Extension Phase
PK Parameter: AUClast of EVG, COBI, FTC, Tenofovir Alafenamide (TAF), and TFV0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, and 24 hours postdose at or between Week 2 or Week 4

AUClast is defined as the area under the concentration versus time curve from time zero to the last observable concentration.

GEN Phase: Change From Baseline in Cluster Determinant 4+ (CD4+) Cell Count at Week 96Baseline; Week 96
PK Parameter: Cmax of EVG, COBI, FTC, TAF, and TFV0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, and 24 hours postdose at or between Week 2 or Week 4

Cmax is defined as the maximum concentration of drug.

PK Parameter: Ctau of EVG, COBI, FTC, and TFV0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, and 24 hours postdose at or between Week 2 or Week 4

Ctau is defined as the observed drug concentration at the end of the dosing interval. Ctau has been presented in lieu of Cmin (specified in the protocol) to align with other Gilead studies. This change has no impact on the PK analysis as Ctau and Cmin are equivalent for all analytes.
