Open-Label Pilot Study to Evaluate Switching From a Regimen Consisting of Raltegravir Plus Emtricitabine/Tenofovir DF Fixed-Dose Combination to the Elvitegravir/Cobicistat/Emtricitabine/Tenofovir DF Single-Tablet Regimen in Virologically Suppressed, HIV-1 Infected Patients

Overview

This study will evaluate the efficacy of Stribild® (elvitegravir/cobicistat/emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (EVG/COBI/FTC/TDF)) single-tablet regimen (STR) after switching from a regimen consisting of raltegravir plus Truvada® (FTC/TDF) at baseline in maintaining HIV-1 RNA < 50 copies/mL at Week 12 in virologically suppressed, HIV-1 infected adults. This study will also evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of Stribild over 24 and 48 weeks of treatment.

Full Title of Study: “A Phase 3B Open-Label Pilot Study to Evaluate Switching From a Regimen Consisting of Raltegravir Plus Emtricitabine/Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate Fixed-Dose Combination (FTC/TDF) to the Elvitegravir/Cobicistat/Emtricitabine/Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate (EVG/COBI/FTC/TDF) Single-Tablet Regimen (STR) in Virologically Suppressed, HIV-1 Infected Patients”

Interventions

  • Drug: Stribild
    • Elvitegravir (EVG) 150 mg/cobicistat (COBI) 150 mg/emtricitabine (FTC) 200 mg/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) 300 mg single-tablet regimen (STR) administered orally once daily with food

Arms, Groups and Cohorts

Clinical Trial Outcome Measures

Primary Measures

  • Percentage of Participants With HIV-1 RNA < 50 Copies/mL at Week 12
    • Time Frame: Week 12
    • The FDA-defined Snapshot algorithm was used, which defines a patient’s virologic response status using only the viral load at the predefined time point within an allowed window of time.

Secondary Measures

  • Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) and Graded Laboratory Abnormalities
    • Time Frame: Up to 48 weeks plus 30 days
    • This outcome measure assessed the safety and tolerability profile of Stribild. Treatment-emergent adverse events (AEs) and graded laboratory abnormalities occurring from baseline up to 30 days following the last dose of study drug were summarized.
  • Percentage of Participants With HIV-1 RNA < 50 Copies/mL at Weeks 24 and 48
    • Time Frame: Weeks 24 and 48
    • The FDA-defined Snapshot algorithm was used, which defines a patient’s virologic response status using only the viral load at the predefined time point within an allowed window of time.
