Switch to Doravirine/Islatravir (DOR/ISL) in Human Immunodeficiency Virus 1 (HIV-1) Participants Treated With Bictegravir/Emtricitabine/Tenofovir Alafenamide (BIC/FTC/TAF) (MK-8591A-018)
Switch to Doravirine/Islatravir (DOR/ISL) in Human Immunodeficiency Virus 1 (HIV-1) Participants Treated With Bictegravir/Emtricitabine/Tenofovir Alafenamide (BIC/FTC/TAF) (MK-8591A-018)

NCT04223791

CompletedPhase 3

Sponsor: Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC

Conditions: HIV Infection

Interventions: DOR/ISL, BIC/FTC/TAF, Placebo to BIC/FTC/TAF, Placebo to FDC DOR/ISL

Countries: United States, Australia, Austria, Canada, Finland, France, Germany, Italy

This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of a switch to Doravirine/Islatravir (DOR/ISL) (MK-8591A) (a fixed dose combination of doravirine 100 mg and islatravir 0.75 mg) in participants living with human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) virologically suppressed on a regimen of bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (BIC/FTC/TAF). The primary hypothesis is that a switch to DOR/ISL (MK-8591A) will be non-inferior to continued treatment with BIC/FTC/TAF as assessed by the proportion of participants with HIV-1 ribonucleic acid (RNA) ≥50 copies/mL at Week 48. Participants who benefit from their assigned intervention (as determined by investigator) will be able to continue treatment through a 24-week study extension.

Eligibility criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

* Is HIV-1 positive with plasma Human Immunodeficiency Virus 1 (HIV-1) RNA \<50 copies/mL at screening.
* Has been receiving bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (BIC/FTC/TAF) therapy with documented viral suppression (HIV-1 RNA \<50 copies/mL) for ≥3 months prior to signing informed consent and has no history of prior virologic treatment failure on any past or current regimen.
* Females are eligible to participate if not pregnant or breastfeeding, and at least one of the following conditions applies: Is not a woman of childbearing potential (WOCBP); is a WOCBP and using an acceptable contraceptive method, or be abstinent from heterosexual intercourse as their preferred and usual lifestyle; a WOCBP must have a negative highly sensitive pregnancy test (\[urine or serum\] as required by local regulations) within 24 hours before the first dose of study intervention; if a urine test cannot be confirmed as negative (e.g. an ambiguous result), a serum pregnancy test is required. In such cases, the participant must be excluded from participation if the serum pregnancy result is positive.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Has HIV-2 infection.
* Has an active diagnosis of hepatitis due to any cause, including active Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) co-infection.
* Has a history of malignancy ≤5 years prior to signing informed consent except for adequately treated basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer, in situ cervical cancer, or cutaneous Kaposi's sarcoma.
* Is taking or is anticipated to require systemic immunosuppressive therapy, immune modulators, or any prohibited therapies.
* Is currently participating in or has participated in a clinical study with an investigational compound or device from 45 days prior to Day 1 through the study treatment period.
* Has a documented or known virologic resistance to doravirine (DOR).
* expects to conceive or donate eggs at any time during the study.
