Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: E/C/F/TAF
Participants will switch to E/C/F/TAF FDC and receive treatment for 48 weeks.
|
Drug: E/C/F/TAF
150/150/200/10 mg FDC tablets administered orally once daily
Other Name: Genvoya® |
Active Comparator: ABC/3TC+3rd Agent
Participants will maintain prior regimen of ABC/3TC plus a third antiretroviral agent for 24 weeks followed by a delayed switch to E/C/F/TAF FDC. Note: the prior regimen is determined by the participant's clinician (prior to entry into the study) and will consist of one of the third antiretroviral agents listed. |
Drug: ABC/3TC
600/300 mg tablets administered orally once daily

- Percentage of Participants Who Have HIV-1 RNA < 50 Copies/mL as Defined by the FDA Snapshot Algorithm at Week 24 [ Time Frame: Week 24 ]The percentage of participants achieving 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.
- Percentage of Participants Who Have HIV-1 RNA < 50 Copies/mL as Defined by the FDA Snapshot Algorithm at Week 12 [ Time Frame: Week 12 ]The percentage of participants achieving HIV-1 RNA < 50 copies/mL at week 12 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.
- Percentage of Participants Who Have HIV-1 RNA < 50 Copies/mL as Defined by the FDA Snapshot Algorithm at Week 48 [ Time Frame: Week 48 ]The percentage of participants achieving 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.

Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years and older (Adult, Older Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Key Inclusion Criteria:
HIV-infected adult participants who meet the following criteria will be given the option to participate in the study:
- Currently receiving ABC/3TC plus a third antiretroviral (ARV) agent for ≥ 6 consecutive months preceding the screening visit. For subjects with 3 or more ART regimens, a regimen history must be provided to the Sponsor for approval. Allowed third antiretroviral agents include LPV/r, ATV+RTV, ATV+COBI (or ATV/COBI FDC), DRV+RTV, DRV + COBI (or DRV/COBI FDC) FPV + RTV, SQV + RTV, ATV (no booster), EFV, RPV, NVP, ETR, RAL or DTG
- Documented plasma HIV-1 RNA levels < 50 copies/mL for ≥ 6 months preceding the screening visit (measured at least twice using the same assay). In the preceding 6 months prior to screening, one episode of "blip" (HIV-1 RNA > 50 and < 400 copies/mL) is acceptable, only if HIV-1 RNA is < 50 copies/mL immediately before and after the "blip".
- Plasma HIV-1 RNA < 50 copies/mL at screening visit
- Individuals will have no evidence of previous virologic failure on a PI+RTV or integrase strand transfer inhibitor-based regimen (with or without resistance to either class of ARV).
- All documented historical plasma genotype(s) must not show resistance to tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) or emtricitabine (FTC), including, but not limited to the presence of reverse transcriptase resistance mutants K65R, K70E, M184V/I, or thymidine analog associated mutations (TAMs) (TAMs are: M41L, D67N, K70R, L210W, T215Y/F, K219Q/E/N/R). If a historical genotype is not available or subject has 3 or more ART regimens, subject will have proviral genotype analysis prior to Day 1 to confirm absence of archived resistance to TDF or FTC.
- Adequate renal function defined as having an estimated glomerular filtration rate of ≥ 30 mL/min as calculated by Cockcroft-Gault (eGFR-CG)
Note: Other protocol defined Inclusion/Exclusion criteria may apply.
