About the research
The study will have two portions: Phase 2 and Phase 3. Phase 2 will further have 2 parts: Part A and Part B.
The goal of Phase 2, Part A is to assess the effectiveness of study drugs GS-3242 plus Lenacapavir (LEN) versus Biktarvy (bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (B/F/TAF)), in people with HIV-1 (PWH) who are new to treatment. This will be done in Treatment Groups 1, 2 and 3 at Week 35.
The goal of Phase 2, Part B is to compare the effectiveness of study drugs, GS-3242 and LEN versus B/F/TAF in Groups 4 and 3 at Week 26.
The goal of Phase 3 is to assess the long-term effectiveness of study drug GS-3242 and LEN versus B/F/TAF, at Week 52.
The primary objectives of this study are:
Phase 2, Part A: To evaluate the efficacy of intramuscular (IM) GS-3242 plus IM LEN versus B/F/TAF in treatment-naive people with HIV-1 (PWH) in Treatment Groups 1, 2, and 3 at Week 35. Phase 2, Part B: To evaluate the efficacy of IM GS-3242 plus IM LEN versus B/F/TAF in treatment-naive PWH in Treatment Groups 4 and 3 at Week 26.
Phase 3: To evaluate the efficacy of IM GS-3242 plus IM LEN versus B/F/TAF in treatment-naive PWH at Week 52.
Who may be able to participate?
The list below is the sponsor’s full registry wording. It can include conditions, prior treatment, test results and other requirements. A match in search does not mean you qualify.
Key Inclusion Criteria:
- HIV-1 ribonucleic acid (RNA) ≥ 500 copies/mL at screening.
- Antiretroviral (ARV) treatment-naive, except for prior use of oral daily pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) or postexposure prophylaxis (PEP) up to 1 month prior to screening.
Key Exclusion Criteria:
- Prior usage of, or exposure to LEN or GS-3242
- Prior use of any long-acting parenteral ARV therapy (ART) medications such as monoclonal antibodies or broadly neutralizing antibodies targeting HIV-1, injectable cabotegravir (including oral cabotegravir lead-in), or injectable rilpivirine.
Note: Other protocol defined Inclusion/Exclusion criteria may apply.
Understand screeningTreatment, groups and participation
The registry may describe treatments and study duration without a complete visit calendar. Ask the study team for the exact schedule, procedures, risks, costs and alternatives. Keep your usual care plan unless your treating clinician tells you otherwise.
