Monotherapy, VH4004280: Maximum Change From Baseline (Day 1) in Plasma HIV-1 Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) log10
From Baseline (Day 1) and up to Day 11

Plasma samples were collected for quantitative analysis of plasma HIV-1 RNA. Maximum change from baseline was calculated by subtracting the baseline value from the post-dose visit value when the plasma HIV-1 RNA reached its minimum level up to Day 11 (inclusive). Baseline was defined as the latest pre-dose assessment with a non-missing value, including those from unscheduled visits. The results were expressed as log10 copies per milliliter (log10 c/mL).

SAD: Number of Participants with Adverse Events (AEs) as per Severity
Up to Week 52

An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of a study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. Severity of Adverse Event will be assessed using Division of AIDS Table for Grading the Severity of Adult and Pediatric Adverse Events (DAIDS). DAIDS grading scale is used to grade the toxicity associated with injection site reactions (ISR) including injection site pain (or tenderness), erythema (or redness), induration (or swelling), and pruritis. The toxicity level is graded from grade 1(lowest toxicity) to 4 (highest toxicity). Higher grade indicates higher toxicity.
