Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This study is being conducted to determine if the uptake of anti-HIV medication, called Genvoya®, at different time-frames, is different at several body sites, including mucosal tissues. This medication might be considered for on-demand PEP regimens in the future.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
Phase 1

Detailed Description

Men who have sex with men (MSM) continue to be disproportionately affected by HIV. The majority of MSM acquire HIV after exposure to the rectal mucosa through unprotected receptive anal intercourse. Post-exposure-prophylaxis (PEP) is an intervention that is used to prevent HIV infection soon (72 hours) after a potential exposure. HIV-negative people with a possible exposure to HIV are instructed to take 28 days of a combination anti-HIV medication regimen, Truvada® + Raltegravir.

This study is being conducted to determine if the uptake of another anti-HIV medication, called Genvoya®, at different time-frames, is different at several body sites, including mucosal tissues. This medication might be considered for on-demand PEP regimens in the future.

    Study Results

    Participant Flow

    Recruitment Details Participants were recruited from the Hope Clinic in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. Participant enrollment began on March 13, 2019 and all follow up was completed September 20, 2019.
    Pre-assignment Detail After the completion of enrollment in the Pre-drug arm, enrollment began sequentially in Arm A, followed by Arm B and Arm C. Arms A, B, and C were further broken down into two different sub-groups, determining the timing of the rectal swab and biopsy procedure. Arm D was enrolled last and included a single time point specimen collection. Participants were able to take part in more than one study arm, with at least a 6 week period after completion of one study arm before beginning another one.
    Arm/Group Title Pre-drug Genvoya
    Arm/Group Description Participants enrolled in the pre-drug arm will not receive any drug. At visit 2, they will undergo blood, urine, penile swab, cheek swab, rectal swab and rectal biopsy collection. Genvoya is a fixed-dose combination anti-retroviral drug containing tenofovir alafenamide (TAF), emtricitabine (FTC), elvitegravir (EVG), and cobicistat. At the second study visit, participants will be provided with a single dose of Genvoya, and instructed to take the dose at home with documentation by digital, time-stamped photo or video. At the third study visit, which will occur 24 hours after home dosing, participants will be given another single dose of Genvoya at the clinic. Participants took Genvoya and had specimens collected at different time points. Arm A: specimen collection occurred 2 hours and after taking the medication in the clinic (visit 4), and 48 hours after taking the medication in the clinic (visit 5) Arm B: specimen collection occurred 4 hours and after taking the medication in the clinic (visit 4), and 72 hours after taking the medication in the clinic (visit 5) Arm C: specimen collection occurred 24 hours and after taking the medication in the clinic (visit 4), and 96 hours after taking the medication in the clinic (visit 5) Arm D: specimen collection occurred 8 hours after taking the medication in the clinic (visit 4), for a single time point of specimen collection

    5. Secondary Outcome
    Title Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cell (PBMC) Concentration of Emtricitabine-triphosphate (FTC-TP)
    Description A peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) is any peripheral blood cell having a round nucleus: lymphocytes (T cells, B cells, NK cells) and monocytes. Median drug levels were determined at baseline and at each of the protocol specified follow-up time points. Concentrations below the limit of quantification (LOQ) are assigned a value of zero.
    Time Frame Baseline, and 2, 4, 8, 24, 48, 72, 96 hours after taking the second dose of medication

    Outcome Measure Data

    Analysis Population Description
    Data are reported per intervention, based on the time points of sample collection for each study arm (two participants were in multiple study arms). Analysis of drug concentrations in participants in the Pre-drug arm was not performed as no drugs were administered to this study arm.

    Arm/Group Description Participants enrolled in the pre-drug arm will not receive any drug. At visit 2, they will undergo blood, urine, penile swab, cheek swab, rectal swab and rectal biopsy collection. Specimen collection 2 hours after taking the medication in the clinic (visit 4), and 48 hours after taking the medication in the clinic (visit 5).
