Time-weighted Average Change From Baseline Through Week 24 (DAVG24) in Plasma HIV-1 RNA
Baseline to 24 Weeks

DAVG24 was defined as the time-weighted average between the first postbaseline value through the last value up to Week 24 minus the baseline value. DAVG24 was calculated using the trapezoidal rule with all available postbaseline data minus the baseline value. Data for participants who discontinued the randomized (double-blind) phase of the study early were included up until the point of study discontinuation (missing data not imputed).

No statistical analyses are planned. Listings will include subject enrollment, subject disposition and SAEs.

Frequently asked questions about Tenofovir DF

What is Tenofovir DF used for?

Tenofovir DF is a small molecule drug being developed for the treatment of chronic Hepatitis B, HIV infections, and lipodystrophy. It is currently in Phase 3 clinical development for these indications, with studies conducted in various countries including the United States, Brazil, Panama, and Taiwan.

What does Tenofovir DF target?

Tenofovir DF is a nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitor that works by blocking the activity of reverse transcriptase, an enzyme essential for viral replication. This mechanism makes it effective against both HIV and Hepatitis B virus, as it interferes with the viruses' ability to multiply within the body.

Who makes Tenofovir DF?

Tenofovir DF is developed by Gilead Sciences, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company listed on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbol GILD. The company is conducting clinical trials to evaluate the drug's safety and efficacy in treating HIV infections and Hepatitis B.

What phase is Tenofovir DF in?

Tenofovir DF is in Phase 3 clinical development. It is an investigational drug and has not been approved by regulatory authorities. The Phase 3 trials are completed and focus on HIV-1 infected adolescents and children, evaluating the drug's safety and efficacy in these populations.

What clinical trials is Tenofovir DF in?

Tenofovir DF has been studied in several clinical trials, including NCT00352053 and NCT00528957, both Phase 3 trials in HIV-1 infected adolescents and children. Additionally, NCT01334567 is a Phase 2 rollover study in Hepatitis B patients in Taiwan. These trials have been completed.

Is Tenofovir DF the same as Tenofovir Alafenamide?

Tenofovir DF is not the same as Tenofovir Alafenamide. While both are antiviral drugs, Tenofovir DF refers to tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, a prodrug of tenofovir. Tenofovir Alafenamide is a different prodrug with distinct pharmacokinetic properties, and it was studied in a separate dose escalation trial.
