  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Improvement in treatment satisfaction by a change in total satisfaction scale as measured by the HIVTSQ survey. [48 weeks]

      Improvement in treatment satisfaction by a change in total satisfaction scale as measured by the HIVTSQ survey. The range of scores is between -33 and +33. The higher the score, the greater the improvement in satisfaction. Satisfaction may be positive or negative.

    2. Improvement in overall quality of life as characterized by a change in total satisfaction scale as measured by the HIVDQoL survey. [48 weeks]

      Improvement in overall quality of life as characterized by a change in total satisfaction scale as measured by the HIVDQoL survey. The range of scores is between -9 to +3. The higher the score the greater the impact. Impacts may be positive or negative.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Percentage of all participants who have plasma HIV-1 RNA Viral Load < 50 c/mL at W24 [Week 24]

      Percentage of all participants who have plasma HIV-1 RNA Viral Load < 50 c/mL at W24 using FDA snapshot analysis, which defined a participant's virologic response status using only the viral load at the predefined timepoint within a certain window of time, along with study drug discontinuation.

    2. Percentage of all participants who have plasma HIV-1 RNA Viral Load < 50 c/mL at end of study [Week 48]

      Percentage of all participants who have plasma HIV-1 RNA Viral Load < 50 c/mL at end of study (Week 48) using FDA snapshot analysis, which defined a participant's virologic response status using only the viral load at the predefined timepoint within a certain window of time, along with study drug discontinuation.

    3. Percentage of Participants experiencing Adverse Events (AEs) through End of Study (Week 48) [Week 48]

      An Adverse Event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence associated with the use of a drug in humans, whether or not considered drug related . An AE can be any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease associated with the use of a study intervention.

    4. Percentage of patients who reduced their number of total medications from baseline. [Week 48]

      Percentage of patients who reduced their number of total medications from baseline. Polypharmacy is defined as 5 or more prescription medications and the Beers Criteria is utilized as a tool to evaluate potentially inappropriate prescriptions in this population.
