Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Percentage of Participants With HIV-1 RNA < 50 Copies/mL as Determined by the FDA-defined Snapshot Algorithm.
Week 24

The percentage of participants achieving HIV-1 RNA \< 50 copies/mL at Week 24 was analyzed using the snapshot algorithm, which defines a participant's virologic response status using only the viral load at the predefined time point within an allowed window of time, along with study drug discontinuation status.

Secondary Endpoints

Percentage of Participants With HIV-1 RNA < 50 Copies/mL as Determined by the FDA-defined Snapshot Algorithm at Week 12
Week 12
Percentage of Participants With HIV-1 RNA < 50 Copies/mL as Determined by the FDA-defined Snapshot Algorithm at Week 48

Treatment Arms

ArmTypeDescription
BIC + F/TAFEXPERIMENTALParticipants will receive BIC + F/TAF FDC + DTG placebo for 48 weeks. * Following Week 48, participants will continue to take their blinded treatment and attend visits every 12 weeks until treatment assignments have been unblinded. Participants will return for an unblinding visit and be given the option to participate in an open-label rollover extension and receive bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (B/F/TAF) until it becomes commercially available, or until Gilead Sciences elects to terminate the development of BIC/F/TAF.
DTG + F/TAFACTIVE_COMPARATORParticipants will receive DTG + F/TAF FDC + BIC placebo for 48 weeks. * Following Week 48, participants will continue to take their blinded treatment and attend visits every 12 weeks until treatment assignments have been unblinded. Participants will return for an unblinding visit and be given the option to participate in an open-label rollover extension and receive B/F/TAF until it becomes commercially available, or until Gilead Sciences elects to terminate the development of BIC/F/TAF.
Open Label Extension PhaseEXPERIMENTALAfter Week 48 participants continued to take their randomized study drug and attended visits every 12 weeks until treatment assignments were unblinded, at which point all participants returned for an unblinding visit and were given the option to participate in an open-label rollover extension to receive an FDC containing B/F/TAF.

Frequently asked questions about Bictegravir/lenacapavir

What is bictegravir/lenacapavir?

Bictegravir/lenacapavir is an investigational fixed-dose combination of two small molecule antivirals being developed by Gilead Sciences for the treatment of HIV-1 infection. It is in Phase 2 clinical development and is not yet approved. The combination pairs bictegravir with lenacapavir in a single regimen.

What is bictegravir/lenacapavir used for?

Bictegravir/lenacapavir is being developed for the treatment of HIV-1 infection. The clinical program has studied it in antiretroviral treatment-naive adults living with HIV-1. It remains investigational, so it is not currently available as a prescribed treatment outside of clinical research.

Who makes bictegravir/lenacapavir?

Bictegravir/lenacapavir is being developed by Gilead Sciences, Inc., which trades on Nasdaq under the ticker GILD. Gilead is the sponsor of the clinical program evaluating the fixed-dose combination in HIV-1 infection.

What phase is bictegravir/lenacapavir in?

Bictegravir/lenacapavir is in Phase 2 clinical development. One Phase 2 trial has been completed, and no trials are currently listed as active. The drug is investigational and has not been approved by the FDA for any indication.

What clinical trials is bictegravir/lenacapavir in?

Bictegravir/lenacapavir has been studied in the completed Phase 2 trial NCT02397694, which evaluated bictegravir plus emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide versus dolutegravir plus emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide in HIV-1 infected, antiretroviral treatment-naive adults. The trial enrolled 98 participants in the United States and was randomized, double-blind, and active-controlled.
