NCT03552536

Brief Summary

This study aims to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and anti-retroviral therapy (ART) activity of the tenofovir prodrug, MK-8583 monotherapy in ART-naïve, HIV-1 infected participants. The primary hypothesis is that at a dose that is sufficiently safe and generally well tolerated, MK-8583 has superior anti-retroviral activity compared to historical placebo, as measured by change from baseline in plasma HIV-1 ribonucleic acid (RNA) (log10 copies/mL) at 168 hours post-dose.

Conditions

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Number of Participants With at Least One Adverse Event (AE)

    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding, for example), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product or protocol-specified procedure, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product or protocol-specified procedure. Any worsening (i.e., any clinically significant adverse change in frequency and/or intensity) of a preexisting condition that is temporally associated with the use of the Sponsor's product, is also an AE.

    Up to Day 29

  • Number of Participants Who Discontinued Study Due to an AE

    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding, for example), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product or protocol-specified procedure, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product or protocol-specified procedure. Any worsening (i.e., any clinically significant adverse change in frequency and/or intensity) of a preexisting condition that is temporally associated with the use of the Sponsor's product, is also an AE.

    Day 1

  • Change From Baseline in Plasma Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 (HIV-1) Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) at 168 Hours Post-dose.

    Plasma HIV-1 RNA was measured at baseline and 168 hours after dosing. Change from baseline for MK-8583 at 168 hours post-baseline was estimated from longitudinal data analysis (LDA) model containing fixed effects for time (predose, 168 hours postdose) and a random effect for participant. The change from baseline in plasma HIV-1 RNA in participants administered MK-8583 was compared with historical placebo data.

    Baseline (pre-dose) and 168 hours post-dose.

Secondary Outcomes (17)

  • Area Under the Concentration Time Curve From Time 0-168 Hours Postdose (AUC0-168hr) of Tenofovir Diphosphate (TFV-DP)

    Pre-dose, 4, 12, 24, 48, 72, 96, and 168 hours postdose

  • Time to Achieve Maximum Concentration (Tmax) of TFV-DP

    Pre-dose, 4, 12, 24, 48, 72, 96, 168, 240, 312 and 672 hours postdose

  • Maximum Concentration (Cmax) of TFV-DP

    Pre-dose, 4, 12, 24, 48, 72, 96, 168, 240, 312 and 672 hours postdose

  • Concentration at 168 Hours Postdose (C168hr) of TFV-DP

    168 hr postdose

  • Apparent Terminal Half-life (t1/2) of TFV-DP

    Pre-dose, 4, 12, 24, 48, 72, 96, 168, 240, 312 and 672 hours postdose
