Study Endpoints
Primary Endpoints
[DTG/3TC]: Time to Virologic Suppression (HIV-1 Ribonucleic Acid [RNA] <50 Copies per Millilitre [c/mL]) From Baseline (Day 1)
Baseline (Day 1) up to Month 12
[CAB + RPV LA]: Percentage of Participants With Plasma HIV-1 RNA <50 c/mL as per Snapshot Algorithm at Month 11
Month 11
Number of Participants With Plasma HIV-1 Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) >=50 Copies/Milliliter (c/mL) as Per Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Snapshot Category at Week 48
Week 48

Number of participants with plasma HIV 1 RNA \>=50 c/mL were evaluated using FDA snapshot algorithm at Week 48 to demonstrate the non-inferior antiviral activity of switching to DTG/3TC FDC once daily compared to continuation of CAR over 48 weeks. The FDA snapshot algorithm defines a participant's virologic response status using only the viral load at the predefined time point within a window of time (HIV-RNA equal to or above 50 copies/mL and HIV-RNA below 50 copies/mL ), along with study drug discontinuation status. Participants with plasma HIV 1 RNA \>=50 c/mL were termed as subjects with virologic failure. The third category of the FDA snapshot ("No virologic data") is not pre-defined as an endpoint and therefore not reported separately.

Percentage of Participants With Plasma Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 (HIV-1) Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) Less Than 50 Copies Per Milliliter (c/mL) at Week 48
Week 48

Percentage of participants with plasma HIV-1 RNA \<50 c/mL was assessed at Week 48 according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) snapshot algorithm.

Percentage of Participants With Virologic Failure Endpoint as Per Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Snapshot Category at Week 48
Week 48

Percentage of participants with virologic failure (plasma HIV-1 RNA \>=50 c/mL) was evaluated using FDA snapshot algorithm at Week 48. The Snapshot algorithm treated all participants without HIV-1 RNA data at the visit of interest (due to missing data or discontinuation of investigational product prior to the visit window) as non-responders, as well as participants who switch their concomitant antiretroviral therapy (ART) prior to the visit of interest. Intent-to-treat exposed (ITT-E) Population comprises of all randomized participants who received at least one dose of study treatment either DTG + 3TC or TBR. Participants were assessed according to the treatment to which the participant was randomized. Any participant receiving a treatment randomization number was considered to be randomized.

Percentage of Participants With Plasma HIV-1 RNA <50 c/mL at Week 48 Using Snapshot Algorithm
Week 48

Percentage of participants with plasma HIV 1 RNA \< 50 c/mL at Week 48 using the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) snapshot algorithm was assessed to demonstrate the non-inferior antiviral activity of switching to DTG+RPV once daily compared to continuation of CAR over 48 weeks in HIV-1 infected antiretroviral therapy (ART)-experienced participants. Virologic success or failure was determined by the last available HIV-1 RNA assessment while the participant was on-treatment within the window of the visit of interest. Plasma samples were collected for quantitative analysis of HIV-1 RNA.

Percentage of Participants With Plasma HIV-1 Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) <50 Copies Per Milliliter (c/mL) at Week 48
Week 48

Percentage of participants with plasma HIV 1 RNA \<50 c/mL at Week 48 using the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) snapshot algorithm was assessed to demonstrate the non-inferior activity of DTG plus 2 NRTI's compared to LPV/RTV plus 2 NRTI's. Analysis was performed on Intent-to-treat exposed (ITT-E) Population, which comprised of all randomized participants who received at least one dose of study medication. Percentage values are rounded off.

Participants who complete 52 weeks of treatment will have the opportunity to continue receiving DTG/3TC FDC once daily in the continuation phase.
Participants receiving CARACTIVE_COMPARATOREligible participants will continue to receive CAR from Day 1 up to 52 weeks.
DTG/3TC FDCEXPERIMENTALParticipants received dolutegravir/lamivudine (DTG/3TC) (50/300 mg) Fixed Dose Combination (FDC) tablets orally once daily.
DTG + 3TC 50 mg/300 mgEXPERIMENTALParticipants will receive a single tablet of a two-drug regimen of DTG 50 mg + 3TC 300 mg once daily from Day 1 through Week 200 (Early and Late Switch Phase).
TAF based regimen (TBR)ACTIVE_COMPARATORParticipants will continue their TBR from Day 1 to Week 148 (Early Switch Phase), and eligible participants will switch to DTG + 3TC once daily from Week 148 to 200 (Late Switch Phase).
Current antiretroviral regimen (CAR)ACTIVE_COMPARATORParticipants continued to receive their current antiretroviral regimen (two nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor \[NRTIs\] + a third agent). A third agent included either an: integrase strand transfer inhibitor (INSTI), a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) or a protease inhibitor (PI). CAR was administered according to the approved labeling in an open-label fashion up to Week 52 during early switch phase. At Week 52, participants with human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) ribonucleic acid (RNA) \<50 copies per milliliter (c/mL), switched to DTG 50 mg + RPV 25 mg once daily and were followed-up through the Late Switch Phase, at Week 148 and through the Continuation Phase, after Week 148.
DTG + RPVEXPERIMENTALParticipants received DTG 50 milligrams (mg) + RPV 25 mg together once daily at approximately the same time, with a meal, in an open-label fashion up to Week 52 during early switch phase. Participants continued to receive DTG 50 mg + RPV 25 mg up to Week 148 during the Late Switch Phase. Participants who successfully completed 148 weeks of treatment were given the opportunity to continue to receive DTG + RPV once daily in the Continuation Phase (after Week 148).
