NCT06544733

Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical study is to learn more about the experimental drugs lepetegravir and lenacapavir pacfosacil; to compare the combination of lepetegravir and lenacapavir pacfosacil with the current standard-of-care treatment bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (B/F/TAF, BVY), to see if the combination of lepetegravir and lenacapavir pacfosacil is safe and if it works for treating human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection. This study has two phases: Phase 2 and Phase 3. The primary objectives of this study are: Phase 2: To evaluate the efficacy of switching to oral weekly lepetegravir in combination with lenacapavir pacfosacil versus continuing BVY in virologically suppressed people with HIV-1 (PWH) at Week 24. Phase 3: To evaluate the efficacy of switching to oral weekly lepetegravir /lenacapavir pacfosacil Fixed-dose combination (FDC) tablet regimen versus continuing BVY in virologically suppressed PWH at Week 48.

Study Arms (6)

Phase 2: Lepetegravir + Lenacapavir pacfosacil (Treatment Group 1)

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants who have been virologically suppressed on bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (BVY) will switch to lepetegravir (650 mg tablet) and lenacapavir pacfosacil (300 mg tablet) coadministered. Participants will receive a 1-day loading dose of lepetegravir (1300 mg) and lenacapavir pacfosacil (600 mg) on Day 1. Thereafter, participants will take weekly doses of single agent lepetegravir (650 mg) and lenacapavir pacfosacil (300 mg) coadministered for at least 48 weeks.

Drug: LepetegravirDrug: Lenacapavir pacfosacil

Phase 2: Bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (BVY) (Treatment Group 2)

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Participants who have been virologically suppressed on bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (BVY) will continue receiving BVY daily for at least 48 weeks.

Drug: Bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide

Phase 2 Extension Phase: Lepetegravir /Lenacapavir pacfosacil Fixed-dose Combination (FDC)

EXPERIMENTAL

At the end of the randomized treatment, Phase 2 participants will be given the option to participate in the Extension Phase. Phase 2 Treatment Group 1 will switch to lepetegravir /lenacapavir pacfosacil FDC weekly. Phase 2 Treatment Group 2 will receive a loading dose of lepetegravir /lenacapavir pacfosacil FDC on Extension Phase Day 1 then, lepetegravir/lenacapavir pacfosacil FDC weekly. Participants who choose to enter the Extension Phase will receive lepetegravir /lenacapavir pacfosacil FDC tablets until the product becomes available or until Gilead Sciences elects to discontinue the study, whichever occurs first.

Drug: Lepetegravir/Lenacapavir pacfosacil FDC

Phase 3: Lepetegravir /Lenacapavir pacfosacil FDC + Placebo to Match (PTM) BVY (Treatment Group 1)

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants who have been virologically suppressed on BVY will switch from BVY to lepetegravir/lenacapavir pacfosacil FDC tablets weekly + placebo-to-match (PTM) BVY once daily. In addition, participants will receive a 1-day loading dose regimen of lepetegravir /lenacapavir pacfosacil FDC on Day 1. Participants will receive treatment for at least 96 weeks.
