NCT06613685

Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical study is to learn more about the experimental drugs lepetegravir (formerly GS-1720) (an oral, long-acting integrase strand transfer inhibitor (INSTI)) and lenacapavir pacfosacil (formerly GS-4182) (a prodrug of Lenacapavir (LEN)); to compare the combination of lepetegravir and lenacapavir pacfosacil with the current standard-of-care treatment bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (B/F/TAF) (Biktarvy), 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 in treatment-naive people with HIV-1 (PWH). This study has two phases: Phase 2 and Phase 3. The primary objectives of this study are: Phase 2: To evaluate the efficacy of oral weekly lepetegravir coadministered with lenacapavir pacfosacil versus continuing Biktarvy (BVY) in treatment-naive PWH at Week 24. Phase 3: To evaluate the efficacy of oral weekly lepetegravir/lenacapavir pacfosacil fixed-dose combination (FDC) tablet regimen versus continuing BVY in treatment-naive PWH at Week 48.

Study Arms (6)

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

EXPERIMENTAL

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: B/F/TAF (Treatment Group 2)

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Participants will receive B/F/TAF (50/200/25 mg) 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 (650/300 mg) weekly. Phase 2 Treatment Group 2 will receive a loading dose of lepetegravir/lenacapavir pacfosacil FDC (1300 mg/600 mg) on Extension Phase Day 1, then lepetegravir/lenacapavir pacfosacil FDC (650/300 mg) 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 B/F/TAF (Treatment Group 1)

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants will receive a 1-day loading dose of lepetegravir/lenacapavir pacfosacil FDC on Day 1. Thereafter, participants will receive lepetegravir/lenacapavir pacfosacil FDC tablets weekly + placebo to match (PTM) B/F/TAF once daily. Participants will receive treatment for at least 96 weeks.

Drug: lepetegravir/lenacapavir pacfosacil FDCDrug: Placebo to Match BVY
