Ages Eligible for Study: | 60 Years and older (Adult, Older Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Key Inclusion Criteria:
- Currently receiving a TDF and FTC or 3TC-containing 'backbone' (maximum 2 NRTIs) regimen plus a third agent for ≥ 6 consecutive months prior to screening visit. For individuals with 3 or more ART regimens, a regimen history must be provided for approval by the Sponsor.
Refer to assigned interventions for allowed third agents of the current regimen.
- 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 level < 50 copies/mL at screening visit
- Adequate renal function
- Estimated glomerular filtration rate ≥ 30 mL/min according to the Cockcroft-Gault formula (eGFRCG) and are on ARVs that are appropriately dose adjusted for renal function per package insert
- All documented historical plasma genotype(s) must not show resistance to TDF or FTC, including, but not limited to the presence of reverse transcriptase resistance mutations K65R, K70E, M184V/I, or thymidine analog-associated mutations (TAMs) that include M41L, L210W, D67N, K70R, T215Y/F, K219Q/E/N/R. If historical plasma prior to first ART is not available or individual has 3 or more ART regimens, individuals will have proviral genotype analysis prior to Day 1 to confirm absence of archived resistance to TDF or FTC.
- Study performed dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scan and T-score received prior to Day 1
Key Exclusion Criteria:
- Previous use of any approved or experimental integrase strand transfer inhibitor (INSTI) (for any length of time) if the current regimen contains a PI/r
- Individuals will have no evidence of previous virologic failure on a PI/r or INSTI-based regimen (with or without resistance to either class of ARV)
- A new AIDS-defining condition diagnosed within the 30 days prior to screening (except CD4+ cell count and/or percentage criteria)
- Hepatitis C virus that would require therapy during the study
- Individuals receiving ongoing treatment for bone disease (eg, osteoporosis), including bisphosphonates, denosumab, and strontium ranelate
Note: Other protocol defined Inclusion/ Exclusion criteria may apply.
