Treatment Arms

ArmTypeDescription
B/F/TAFEXPERIMENTALRandomized Phase: Bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (B/F/TAF) for at least 48 weeks, without regard to food. Extension Phase: After Week 48, participants in countries where B/F/TAF is not available will be given the option to receive B/F/TAF for up to 96 additional weeks or until the product becomes accessible to participants through an access program, or until Gilead Sciences elects to discontinue the study in that country, whichever occurs first.
Stay on Baseline Regimen (SBR)EXPERIMENTALRandomized Phase: Participants remained on current antiretroviral (ARV) regimen consisting of ritonavir (RTV)-boosted or cobicistat (COBI)-boosted atazanavir (ATV) or darunavir (DRV), plus either emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (FTC/TDF) or abacavir/lamivudine (ABC/3TC) for at least 48 weeks with food. Extension Phase: After Week 48, participants in countries where B/F/TAF is not available will be given the option to receive B/F/TAF for up to 96 additional weeks or until the product becomes accessible to participants through an access program, or until Gilead Sciences elects to discontinue the study in that country, whichever occurs first.
COBI-boosted DRVEXPERIMENTALParticipants will receive DRV+COBI+2 investigator-selected NRTIs for 48 weeks, and may continue their regimen in the open-label rollover phase.
E/C/F/TDF (Cohort 1)EXPERIMENTALParticipants who have not received prior antiretroviral (ARV) treatment and who are virologically unsuppressed at baseline will initiate treatment with elvitegravir/cobicistat/emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (E/C/F/TDF) single-tablet regimen (STR) for up to 96 weeks. Following Week 96, participants continued their treatment until all participants discontinued from the study or commercial approval of E/C/F/TDF was received in the applicable country.
COBI+PI+2 NRTI (Cohort 2)EXPERIMENTALParticipants who have received prior ARV treatment and who are virologically suppressed at baseline will continue their treatment regimen, switching the regimen's pharmacoenhancer component from ritonavir to cobicistat (COBI), and continuing their existing protease inhibitor (PI; either atazanavir (ATV) or darunavir (DRV)) plus 2 nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) regimen for up to 96 weeks. Following Week 96, participants continued their treatment until all participants discontinued from the study or commercial approval of cobicistat was received in the applicable country.
