Trial Review

Did you know?

The ANZCTR now automatically displays published trial results and simplifies the addition of trial documents such as unpublished protocols and statistical analysis plans.

These enhancements will offer a more comprehensive view of trials, regardless of whether their results are positive, negative, or inconclusive.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Intervention/exposure
Study type

Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - Oral Lenacapavir (LEN)
Treatment: Drugs - F/TDF
Treatment: Drugs - Sub-cutaneous (SC) Lenacapavir (LEN)
Treatment: Drugs - Placebo SC LEN
Treatment: Drugs - PTM F/TDF
Treatment: Drugs - PTM Oral LEN
Treatment: Drugs - F/TAF (for US participants only)

Experimental: Blinded Phase: LEN + Placebo-to-match (PTM) F/TDF - Participants will receive the following for at least 52 weeks:

* Subcutaneous (SC) lenacapavir (LEN) 927 mg every 26 weeks
* Oral PTM Emtricitabine/Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate (F/TDF) once daily
* Oral LEN 600 mg on Days 1 and 2

Participants will receive oral LEN if SC injections are not available

Experimental: Blinded Phase: Placebo LEN + F/TDF - Participants will receive the following for at least 52 weeks:

* SC LEN placebo every 26 weeks
* Oral F/TDF 200/300 mg once daily
* PTM Oral LEN on Days 1 and 2

Participants will receive oral LEN placebo if SC injections are not available

Experimental: LEN Open-Label Extension (OLE) Phase - After completion of the Blinded phase, participants will be offered entry into the LEN OLE Phase.

Participants randomized to LEN will continue to receive SC LEN 927 mg every 26 weeks for a total of 2 doses.

Participants randomized to F/TDF will receive SC LEN 927 mg on OLE Day 1, OLE Week 26, and will also receive oral LEN 600 mg on OLE Days 1 and 2.

Experimental: PK Tail Phase - At the completion of the LEN OLE phase, participants will transition into the PK Tail phase.

Additionally, participants that prematurely discontinue the study drug during blinded phase and participants that were randomized to LEN who choose not to continue in the LEN OLE Phase are also eligible to transition to the PK Tail Phase.

Participants will receive oral F/TDF (or Emtricitabine/Tenofovir Alafenamide (F/TAF) for US participants only) once daily for 78 weeks beginning 26 weeks after the last injection of LEN.
