Primary Outcome Measures :
- Percentage of Participants Who Had HIV-1 RNA ≥ 50 Copies/mL at Week 24 as Defined by the US FDA-Defined Snapshot Algorithm: Full Analysis Set [ Time Frame: Week 24 ]The percentage of participants who had HIV-1 RNA ≥ 50 copies/mL at Week 24 was analyzed using the snapshot algorithm, which defined 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.
Secondary Outcome Measures :
- Percentage of Participants Who Had HIV-1 RNA ≥ 50 Copies/mL at Week 48 as Defined by the US FDA-Defined Snapshot Algorithm: Full Analysis Set [ Time Frame: Week 48 ]The percentage of participants who had HIV-1 RNA ≥ 50 copies/mL at Week 48 was analyzed using the snapshot algorithm, which defined 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. By Week 48, participants in B/F/TAF had received 48 weeks of treatment with B/F/TAF, while those in the Delayed B/F/TAF group had received only 24 weeks of treatment with B/F/TAF.
- Percentage of Participants Who Had HIV-1 RNA < 50 Copies/mL at Week 24 as Defined by the US FDA-Defined Snapshot Algorithm: Full Analysis Set [ Time Frame: Week 24 ]The percentage of participants who had HIV-1 RNA < 50 copies/mL at Week 24 was analyzed using the snapshot algorithm, which defined 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 Had HIV-1 RNA < 50 Copies/mL at Week 24 as Defined by the US FDA-Defined Snapshot Algorithm: Week 24 Per Protocol Analysis Set [ Time Frame: Week 24 ]The percentage of participants who had HIV-1 RNA < 50 copies/mL at Week 24 was analyzed using the snapshot algorithm, which defined 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 Had HIV-1 RNA < 50 Copies/mL at Week 48 as Defined by the US FDA-Defined Snapshot Algorithm: Full Analysis Set [ Time Frame: Week 48 ]The percentage of participants who had HIV-1 RNA < 50 copies/mL at Week 48 was analyzed using the snapshot algorithm, which defined 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. By Week 48, participants in B/F/TAF had received 48 weeks of treatment with B/F/TAF, while those in the Delayed B/F/TAF group had received only 24 weeks of treatment with B/F/TAF.
- Change From Baseline in CD4+ Cell Count at Week 24: Full Analysis Set [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 24 ]The analysis includes values up to 1 day after permanent discontinuation of study treatment.
- Change From Baseline in CD4+ Cell Count at Week 24: Week 24 Per Protocol Analysis Set [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 24 ]The analysis includes values up to 1 day after permanent discontinuation of study treatment.
- Change From Baseline in CD4+ Cell Count at Week 48: Full Analysis Set [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 48 ]The analysis includes values up to 1 day after permanent discontinuation of study treatment. By Week 48, participants in B/F/TAF had received 48 weeks of treatment with B/F/TAF, while those in the Delayed B/F/TAF group had received only 24 weeks of treatment with B/F/TAF.
- Percentage of Participants Experiencing Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events [ Time Frame: First B/F/TAF dose date up to Week 72 plus 30 days ]An adverse event (AE) was any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant administered a medicinal product, which did not necessarily have a causal relationship with the treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and/or unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. A treatment-emergent adverse event was defined as any adverse event with onset date on or after the study treatment start date and no later than 30 days after the study drug stop date; or any adverse event leading to study drug discontinuation.
- Percentage of Participants Experiencing Treatment-Emergent Graded Laboratory Abnormalities [ Time Frame: First B/F/TAF dose date up to Week 72 plus 30 days ]Treatment-emergent laboratory abnormalities were defined as values that increase at least one toxicity grade from baseline. The most severe graded abnormality from all tests was counted for each participant. Severity grades were defined by 'Gilead Grading Scale for Severity of AEs and Laboratory Abnormalities'.
