PURPOSE 1

Status
Ongoing
Phase
III
Objective


Gilead's lenacapavir trials are resumed as of May 2022. See Gilead’s press release on the release of FDA's clinical hold.

Trial was on clinical hold due to concerns about compatibility of the glass vials with the lenacapavir solution. See Gilead’s press release on the clinical hold in December 2021.

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of lenacapavir (LEN) and emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (F/TAF) in preventing the risk of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection relative to the background HIV incidence rate. The study will be conducted in 2 parts: a cross-sectional study (Incidence Phase) and a double-blind, randomized study (Randomized Phase). The Incidence Phase will include initial assessments that will provide an estimate of the concurrent background HIV incidence rate. The Randomized Phase of the study will have a Blinded Phase, a LEN Open-label Extension (OLE) Phase, and a Pharmacokinetic (PK) Tail Coverage Phase.

The primary objective for the Incidence Phase of this study is to estimate the HIV background incidence rate. The primary objectives of the Randomized Phase of this study are to evaluate the efficacy of LEN and F/TAF for HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) in adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) at risk of HIV infection.

Description
Experimental: LEN Open-Label Extension (OLE) Phase After completion of the Blinded phase, participants will be offered entry into the LEN OLE Phase. Participants randomized to LEN will continue to receive SC LEN 927 mg every 26 weeks for a total of 2 doses. Participants randomized to F/TAF or F/TDF will receive SC LEN 927 mg on OLE Day 1 and OLE Week 26, and will also receive oral LEN 600 mg on OLE Days 1 and 2.

Description
Experimental: Pharmacokinetic (PK) Tail Coverage Phase At the completion of the LEN OLE phase, participants will transition into the PK Tail Coverage phase. Additionally, participants that either prematurely discontinue the study drug during the blinded phase or choose not to continue in the LEN OLE phase (if randomized to LEN in the blinded phase) or who discontinue the study drug in the LEN OLE phase are also eligible to transition to the PK Tail Coverage phase. Participants will receive oral F/TDF once daily for 78 weeks beginning 26 weeks after the last LEN injection. Drug: F/TDF Tablets administered orally Other Name: Truvada®
