Summary

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a fixed dose combination (FDC) containing bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (B/F/TAF) versus a FDC containing abacavir/dolutegravir/lamivudine (ABC/DTG/3TC) in HIV-1 infected, antiretroviral treatment naive-adults.

Eligibility Criteria

Key Inclusion Criteria

  • Antiretroviral treatment naive (≤ 10 days of prior therapy with any antiretroviral agent following a diagnosis of HIV-1 infection) except the use for pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) or post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP), up to one month prior to screening
  • Plasma HIV-1 ribonucleic acid (RNA) levels ≥ 500 copies per milliliter (mL) at screening
  • Adequate renal function: Estimated glomerular filtration rate ≥ 50 milliliter per minute (mL/min) (≥ 0.83 milliliter per second [mL/sec]) according to the Cockcroft-Gault formula
  • Negative screening test for human leukocyte antigen (HLA) -B x 5701 allele provided by Gilead Sciences

Key Exclusion Criteria

  • An opportunistic illness indicative of stage 3 HIV diagnosed within the 30 days prior to screening (refer to study protocol)
  • Decompensated cirrhosis (e.g, ascites, encephalopathy, or variceal bleeding)
  • Current alcohol or substance use judged by the Investigator to potentially interfere with subject study compliance
  • Females who are pregnant (as confirmed by positive serum pregnancy test)
  • Females who are breastfeeding
  • Chronic Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) infection

Note: Other protocol defined Inclusion/Exclusion criteria may apply.
