A Phase 3 Open-Label Study to Evaluate Switching From Optimized Stable Antiretroviral Regimens Containing Darunavir to Elvitegravir/Cobicistat/Emtricitabine/Tenofovir Alafenamide (E/C/F/TAF) Single Tablet Regimen (STR) Plus Darunavir (DRV) in Treatment Experienced HIV-1 Positive Adults
A Phase 3 Open-Label Study to Evaluate Switching From Optimized Stable Antiretroviral Regimens Containing Darunavir to Elvitegravir/Cobicistat/Emtricitabine/Tenofovir Alafenamide (E/C/F/TAF) Single Tablet Regimen (STR) Plus Darunavir (DRV) in Treatment Experienced HIV-1 Positive Adults
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of elvitegravir/cobicistat/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (E/C/F/TAF) fixed dose combination (FDC) plus darunavir (DRV) relative to current antiretroviral regimens (ARV) in virologically suppressed, HIV-1 positive participants with HIV-1 RNA <50 copies/mL at Week 24.
This study consists of 48 weeks of open-label phase followed by an optional Extension Phase in which all the participants will receive E/C/F/TAF+DRV.
Key Inclusion Criteria:
Ability to understand and sign a written informed consent form
History of at least two prior antiretroviral regimens, and history of resistance to at least two different classes of antiretroviral agents
Plasma HIV-1 RNA levels < 50 copies/mL at screening. Virologically suppressed on the current antiretroviral regimen containing darunavir 600 mg twice a day or 800 mg once daily continuously for ≥ 4 months preceding the screening visit and have maintained documented undetectable plasma HIV-1 RNA levels (< 50 copies/mL) and must have documentation of genotype/phenotype prior to current regimen which shows no darunavir associated resistance mutation.
Currently receiving raltegravir, elvitegravir, or dolutegravir (50 mg once daily, but not twice daily), or have never received integrase inhibitor, or have documentation of genotype/phenotype within 12 months prior to current regimen which must show no evidence of resistance to integrase inhibitors
Normal ECG
Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥ 50 mL/min according to the Cockcroft Gault formula for creatinine clearance
Hepatic transaminases (AST and ALT) ≤ 5 × upper limit of normal (ULN)
Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 mg/dL, or normal direct bilirubin
Adequate hematologic function (absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1,000/mm^3; platelets ≥ 50,000/mm^3; hemoglobin ≥ 8.5 g/dL)
Serum amylase ≤ 5 × ULN (individuals with serum amylase > 5 × ULN will remain eligible if serum lipase is ≤ 5 × ULN)
A female individual is eligible to enter the study if it is confirmed that she is:
Male individuals must agree to utilize a highly effective method of contraception during heterosexual intercourse or be non-heterosexually active, or practice sexual abstinence from first dose throughout the study period and for 30 days following the last study drug dose.
Male individuals must agree to refrain from sperm donation from first dose until at least 30 days after the last study drug dose.
