Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: ISL+LEN

Participants will receive the following for at least 48 weeks: ISL 40 mg and LEN 600 mg on Days 1 and 2 (loading dose) ISL 20 mg and LEN 300 mg on Day 8 and every week thereafter

Drug: ISL
Capsules administered orally without regard to food

Drug: LEN
Tablets administered orally without regard to food
Other Names:
  • GS-6207
  • Experimental: B/F/TAF

    Participants will receive the following for at least 48 weeks: bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (B/F/TAF) 50/200/25 mg once daily After 48 weeks, participants will switch from B/F/TAF to ISL+LEN ISL 40 mg and LEN 600 mg (loading dose over 2 days) ISL 20 mg and LEN 300 mg 7 days after the first loading dose and every week thereafter Participants who do not switch from B/F/TAF to ISL+LEN at Week 48 will be discontinued from the study.

  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Proportion of Participants With HIV-1 RNA ≥ 50 Copies/mL at Week 24 as Determined by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-defined Snapshot Algorithm [Week 24]

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Proportion of Participants With HIV-1 RNA ≥ 50 Copies/mL at Week 12 as Determined by the US FDA-defined Snapshot Algorithm [Week 12]

    2. Proportion of Participants With HIV-1 RNA ≥ 50 Copies/mL at Week 48 as Determined by the US FDA-defined Snapshot Algorithm [Week 48]

    3. Proportions of Participants With HIV-1 RNA < 50 copies/mL at Week 12 as Determined by the US FDA-defined Snapshot Algorithm [Week 12]

    4. Proportions of Participants With HIV-1 RNA < 50 copies/mL at Week 24 as Determined by the US FDA-defined Snapshot Algorithm [Week 24]

    5. Proportions of Participants With HIV-1 RNA < 50 copies/mL at Week 48 as Determined by the US FDA-defined Snapshot Algorithm [Week 48]

    6. Change From Baseline in Clusters of Differentiation 4 (CD4)+ Cell Count at Week 12 [Baseline, Week 12]

    7. Change From Baseline in CD4+ Cell Count at Week 24 [Baseline, Week 24]

    8. Change From Baseline in CD4+ Cell Count at Week 48 [Baseline, Week 48]

    9. Percentage of Participants Experiencing Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events Leading to Study Drug Discontinuation [Up to 5 years]

    10. Pharmacokinetic (PK) Parameter: Cmax of Islatravir (ISL) and Lenacapavir (LEN) [Day 1 up to Week 36]

      Cmax is defined as the maximum observed concentration of drug.

    11. PK Parameter: Tmax of ISL and LEN [Day 1 up to Week 36]

      Tmax is defined as the time (observed time point) of Cmax.

    12. PK Parameter: Ctau of ISL and LEN [Day 1 up to Week 36]

      Ctau is defined as the observed drug concentration at the end of the dosing interval.

    13. PK Parameter: AUCtau of ISL and LEN [Day 1 up to Week 36]

      AUCtau is defined as concentration of drug over time (the area under the concentration verses time curve over the dosing interval).

    14. PK Parameter: t1/2 of ISL and LEN [Day 1 up to Week 36]

      t1/2 is defined as the estimate of the terminal elimination half-life of the drug.
