E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To evaluate the effect of the elvitegravir/cobicistat/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (E/C/F/TAF) single-tablet regimen (STR) on renal parameters
at Week 24 |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
• To evaluate the effect of the E/C/F/TAF STR on renal parameters at Weeks 48 and 96
• To measure the proportion of subjects achieving virologic response (HIV-1 RNA < 50 copies/mL, FDA snapshot analysis) at Weeks 24, 48, and 96
• To evaluate the safety and tolerability of the E/C/F/TAF STR through 96 weeks of treatment |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | Yes |
E.2.3.1 | Full title, date and version of each sub-study and their related objectives |
At sites able to conduct this testing, subjects will be asked to
participate in an intensive pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) substudy, with a target enrollment of at least 15 evaluable subjects per cohort, including a minimum of 6 evaluable subjects with screening eGFRCG 30 – 49 mL/min in Cohort 1 only. The PK of EVG, COBI, FTC, TAF, and TFV will be assessed at or between the Week 2, Week 4, or Week 8 visits. The PD endpoint (true GFR, as assessed by iohexol clearance), will also be measured at Baseline, at or between the Week 2, Week 4, or Week 8 visits and Week 24 and/or if necessary as part of the toxicity management procedures for reductions in estimated GFR for
subjects in this sub-study. |

• Adequate hematologic function
• Serum amylase ≤ 5 × ULN
• Females of childbearing potential must agree to utilize highly effective contraception methods (two separate forms of contraception, one of which must be an effective barrier method, or be non-heterosexually active, practice sexual abstinence or have a vasectomized partner) from screening throughout the duration of study treatment and for 30 days following the last dose of study drug
— Female subjects who utilize hormonal contraceptive as one of their birth control methods must have used the same method for at least three months prior to study dosing
• Male subjects must agree to utilize a highly effective method of contraception during heterosexual intercourse throughout the study period and for 30 days following discontinuation of investigational medicinal product. A highly effective method of contraception is defined as two separate forms of contraception, one of which must be an
effective barrier method, or male subjects must be non-heterosexually active, or practice sexual abstinenc
• Age ≥ 18 years
|
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
• A new AIDS-defining condition
• HCV antibody positive
• Hepatitis B surface antigen positive
• Subjects receiving drug treatment for Hepatitis C, or subjects who are anticipated to receive treatment for Hepatitis C during the course of the study
• Subjects experiencing decompensated cirrhosis
• Females who are breastfeeding
• Positive serum pregnancy test (female of childbearing potential)
• Have an implanted defibrillator or pacemaker
• Current alcohol or substance use judged by the Investigator to potentially interfere with subject study compliance
• A history of malignancy within the past 5 years (prior to screening) or ongoing malignancy other than cutaneous Kaposi's sarcoma (KS), basal cell carcinoma, or resected, non-invasive cutaneous squamous carcinoma. Subjects with cutaneous KS are eligible, but must not have received any systemic therapy for KS within 30 days of Baseline and must not be anticipated to require systemic therapy during the study
• Active, serious infections (other than HIV-1 infection) requiring parenteral antibiotic or antifungal therapy
• Subjects on hemodialysis, other forms of renal replacement therapy, or on treatment for underlying kidney diseases
• Subjects receiving ongoing therapy with any of the disallowed medications in the protocol, including drugs not to be used with EVG, COBI, FTC, or TAF; or subjects with any known allergies to the excipients of E/C/F/TAF STR
• Participation in any other clinical trial without prior approval from the sponsor is
prohibited while participating in this trial
• Any other clinical condition or prior therapy that, in the opinion of the Investigator,
would make the subject unsuitable for the study or unable to comply with the dosing
requirements
