NCT07202546

Brief Summary

This clinical study is testing a new medication, VH4524184, to see if it can effectively treat HIV-1 in adults who have never received treatment for their infection. The study is comparing two different doses of VH4524184, each taken with the medications emtricitabine and tenofovir alafenamide (FTC/TAF), to a standard HIV treatment called dolutegravir and lamivudine (DTG/3TC). The purpose of the study is to provide data on the long-term antiviral activity of the VH4524184 and provide information regarding dosing formulation for further evaluations.

  • Documented HIV-1 infection and Screening plasma HIV-1 RNA of ≥1000 copies/millilitre (mL). A single repeat of this test is allowed within a single Screening period to determine eligibility.
  • Treatment-naive: Defined as no ARVs (in combination or monotherapy) received after the diagnosis of HIV-1 infection.
  • Body weight \>=50.0 kilogram (kg) \[(110 pounds (lbs)\] for participants assigned male at birth and \>=45.0 kg (99 lbs) for participants assigned female at birth. BMI within the range 18.5-35.5 kg/m\^2 (inclusive - applies to males and females).
