Study Endpoints
Primary Endpoints
Percentage of Participants Maintaining Human Immunodeficiency Virus-1 Ribonucleic Acid (HIV-1 RNA) <50 Copies/mL
Immediate Switch to MK-1439A arm: Week 48; Delayed Switch to MK-1439A arm: Week 24

The percentage of participants in each arm achieving HIV-1 RNA levels \<50 copies/mL was determined. Plasma HIV-1 RNA levels were quantified with the Abbott RealTime HIV-1 Assay. Data were handled according to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) "snapshot" approach and all missing data were considered treatment failures, regardless of the reason.

Area Under the Plasma Concentration Versus Time Curve From 0 Hours to Infinity (AUC0-∞) of Doravirine
Predose and at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 6, 12, 24, 48, and 72 hours postdose for all participants and at 96, 120, and 144 hours postdose for participants with hepatic insufficiency

Blood was collected for the determination of plasma doravirine using a liquid chromatographic tandem mass spectrometric method

Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Doravirine
Predose and at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 6, 12, 24, 48, and 72 hours postdose for all participants and at 96, 120, and 144 hours postdose for participants with hepatic insufficiency

Blood was collected for the determination of plasma doravirine using a liquid chromatographic tandem mass spectrometric method

Area Under the Plasma Concentration Versus Time Curve Form 0 to 24 Hours (AUC0-24) of Doravirine
Predose and at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 6, 12, and 24 hours postdose

Blood was collected for the determination of plasma doravirine using a liquid chromatographic tandem mass spectrometric method

Plasma Concentration of Doravirine at 24 Hours (C24)
24 hours postdose

Blood was collected for the determination of plasma doravirine using a liquid chromatographic tandem mass spectrometric method

Percentage Change From Baseline in HIV-1 Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) Viral Load
Baseline and Day 7

The change from baseline to Day 7 in plasma HIV RNA viral load was determined for each arm. Results are expressed as change in HIV RNA log10 copies/mL after 7 daily doses of doravirine or placebo. It was hypothesized that at least 1 dose of doravirine would be superior to placebo as documented by the upper bound of the 90% confidence interval \<-1. Plasma HIV RNA levels were determined using the Abbott RealTime HIV assay which has a linear range from 40 to 10 million copies/mL.

ArmTypeDescription
Immediate Switch to Doravirine, Tenofovir, LamivudineEXPERIMENTALParticipants receiving continuous antiretroviral therapy with a ritonavir- or cobicistat-boosted protease inhibitor (atazanavir, darunavir, or lopinavir) or cobicistat-boosted elvitegravir or a non nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) (specifically, efavirenz, nevirapine, or rilpivirine) in combination with 2 NRTIs for \>=6 months with undetectable HIV-1 RNA will switch on Day 1 to doravirine, tenofovir, lamivudine single tablet by mouth once daily for 48 weeks in the Base Study and, optionally, for up to an additional 6 years in the Study Extensions
Delayed Switch to Doravirine, Tenofovir, LamivudineACTIVE_COMPARATORParticipants receiving continuous antiretroviral therapy with a ritonavir- or cobicistat-boosted protease inhibitor (atazanavir, darunavir, or lopinavir) or cobicistat-boosted elvitegravir or a NNRTI (specifically, efavirenz, nevirapine, or rilpivirine) in combination with 2 NRTIs for \>=6 months with undetectable HIV-1 RNA will continue on this therapy until Week 24, at which time they will switch to doravirine, tenofovir, lamivudine single tablet by mouth once daily for 24 weeks in the Base Study and, optionally, for up to an additional 6 years in the Study Extensions
Part 1: Moderate Hepatic InsufficiencyEXPERIMENTALParticipants with moderate hepatic insufficiency receive a single oral dose of 100 mg doravirine on Day 1 of Part 1. All participants in this arm were to have moderate hepatic insufficiency based on the Child-Pugh scale.
Part 1: Healthy Matched ControlEXPERIMENTALHealthy participants matched for age and weight receive a single oral dose of 100 mg doravirine on Day 1 of Part 1.
Part 2: Mild Hepatic InsufficiencyEXPERIMENTALParticipants with mild hepatic insufficiency receive a single oral dose of 100 mg doravirine on Day 1 of Part 1. All participants in this arm were to have mild hepatic insufficiency based on the Child-Pugh scale. This arm was to be enrolled and investigated only if a clinically meaningful increase in exposure of doravirine was observed in participants with moderate hepatic insufficiency in Part 1.
Panel A: Doravirine 25 mg or PlaceboEXPERIMENTALParticipants will receive oral doses of doravirine 25 mg or placebo once daily for 7 days.
Panel B: Doravirine 200 mg or PlaceboEXPERIMENTALPanel B (doravirine 200 mg or placebo once daily for 7 days) will initiate upon satisfactory review of safety and tolerability from Panel A, and all safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetic data from the study MK-1439-001.
Panel C: Doravirine or PlaceboEXPERIMENTALPanel C is optional. If conducted, the dose will be confirmed after review of data from prior panels.
