简要总结
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, acceptability, and safety of a simplified event-driven pre-exposure prophylaxis of HIV based on oral TAF/FTC in HIV-uninfected cisgender men who have sex with men (MSM).
Primary objective: To assess the efficacy of emtricitabine 200 mg + tenofovir alafenamide 25 mg (F/TAF), taken 2 to 24 hours before sexual intercourse followed by a second dose 24 hours after the first intake, in reducing the risk of HIV acquisition in MSM relative to the background HIV incidence rate.
详细描述
The study will enroll HIV-uninfected MSM at risk for acquiring HIV infection. Participants will be enrolled over 2 years and followed up until the closure of the clinical study. Therefore, the follow up duration will be up to 3 years for first enrollees and up to1 year for the last enrollee. The study will be implemented in Thailand (60% of participants) and France (40%).
Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two regimens:
- Experimental Arm (F/TAF): one tablet of the fixed-dose combination of emtricitabine (FTC) 200 mg + tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) 25mg, 2 to 24 hours before sexual intercourse followed by a second tablet 24 hours after the first intake.
- Control Arm (F/TDF): two tablets of the fixed-dose combination of emtricitabine (FTC) 200 mg + tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) 300 mg, 2 to 24 hours before sexual intercourse followed by a third tablet 24 hours after the first drug intake and a fourth tablet 24 hours later.
Participants will attend up to 15 study visits throughout the study. Visits may include physical examinations, blood collection, urine collection, and swabs collection (oral and rectal). At the end of their study participation, all participants will be transitioned to locally available HIV prevention services, including PrEP.

研究组 & 干预措施
Event-driven PrEP with TDF/FTC
Participants randomly assigned to the event-driven TDF/FTC arm will be instructed to take a loading dose of two single tablets containing coformulated TDF/FTC (300/200mg) 2 to 24 hours before sexual intercourse, followed by a third pill 24 hours after the first drug intake and a fourth pill 24 hours later. In case of daily sexual intercourses, they will be instructed to take one pill per day until the last sexual intercourse, then to take the two post-exposure pills.
干预措施: TDF/FTC 300mg/200mg fixed-dose combination tablets (Drug)
Event-driven PrEP with TAF/FTC
Participants randomly assigned to the event-driven TAF/FTC arm will be instructed to take one single tablet containing coformulated TAF/FTC (25/200mg) with or without food 2 to 24 hours before sexual intercourse followed by a second pill 24 hours after the first drug intake. In case of daily sexual intercourses, they will be instructed to take one pill per day until the last sexual intercourse and then a last pill 24 hours later.
干预措施: TAF/FTC 25mg/200mg fixed-dose combination tablets (Drug)
