Study summary

The study will have two parts: Part A and Part B. In Part A, the goal of the study is to compare the effectiveness of switching to the study drugs GS-3242 plus Lenacapavir (LEN) versus continuing Biktarvy (bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (B/F/TAF)), in virologically suppressed people with HIV-1 (PWH) in treatment Group 1, 2 and 3 at Week 35. In Part B the goal of the study is to compare the effectiveness of switching to the study drugs, GS-3242 and LEN versus continuing B/F/TAF in Groups 4 and 3 at Week 26.

The primary objective of part A is to evaluate the efficacy of switching to intramuscular (IM) GS-3242 plus IM LEN versus continuing on B/F/TAF PWH who are virologically suppressed in treatment Groups 1, 2, and 3 at Week 35 and Part B is to evaluate the efficacy of switching to IM GS-3242 plus IM LEN versus continuing on B/F/TAF in PWH who are virologically suppressed in Treatment Groups 4 and 3 at Week 26.
