| E.2 Objective of the trial | 
| E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial | 
| The primary objective is to demonstrate noninferiority in efficacy of a D/C/F/TAF containing once-daily single-tablet regimen versus DRV/COBI FDC combined with FTC/TDF FDC in HIV-1 infected, ARV treatment-naïve adult subjects, as determined by the proportion of virologic responders defined as having HIV-1 RNA <50 copies/mL at Week 48 (FDA-defined snapshot analysis), with a maximum allowable difference of 10%. |  | 
| E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial | 
| *to evaluate superiority of a D/C/F/TAF once-daily single-tablet regimen vs DRV/COBI FDC combined with FTC/TDF FDC as determined by having HIV-1 RNA <50 copies/mL at Week 48 (FDA-defined snapshot analysis), in case noninferiority is established *to evaluate the immunologic response (CD4+ cell count) of the 2 treatment arms through Week 48
 *to evaluate long-term efficacy and safety of the D/C/F/TAF regimen (until Week 96 and beyond)
 *to evaluate the incidence of grade 3 and 4 AEs, serious adverse events (SAEs), and premature discontinuations due to AEs in the 2 treatment arms through Week 48
 *to evaluate the change from baseline in serum creatinine, eGFR based on creatinine clearance and eGFR based on cystatin C clearance in the 2 treatment arms at Week 48
 *to evaluate the change from baseline in renal biomarkers at Week 48;
 *to assess the development of viral resistance in the 2 treatment arms through Week 48;
 *to evaluate the steady-state pharmacokinetics of DRV and TAF.

| 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 | 
| A bone investigation substudy will be performed at selected study sites, to assess bone biomarkers and dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans, in at least 170 subjects (85 subjects in each treatment arm) who provide informed consent for the substudy. To determine BMD of the hip and spine, consenting subjects will have DXA scans performed at the time points specified in the protocol. In subjects participating in the DXA substudy, blood will be collected for assessment of bone biomarkers at the time points specified in the protocol. 
 Objectives of the bone investigation substudy:
 *to evaluate the safety in the 2 treatment arms as determined by the percentage change from baseline in hip and spine BMD at Week 48;
 *to evaluate the change from baseline in bone biomarker levels at Week 48.
