Endpoints
1. Percentage of Participants With HIV-1 Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) <50 Copies/mL at Week 48 [ Time Frame: Week 48 ]
The percentage of participants in each arm with HIV-1 RNA levels <50 copies/mL at Week 48 was determined. Plasma HIV-1 RNA levels were quantified with the Abbott RealTime HIV-1 Assay. Data were handled according to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) "snapshot" approach in which all missing data are considered treatment failures, regardless of the reason.
2. Percentage of Participants With Tier-1 Neuropsychiatric Adverse Events (AEs) [ Time Frame: Up to Week 48 ]
The percentage of participants in each arm experiencing ≥1 pre-specified Tier-1 neuropsychiatric AEs was determined. The list of Tier-1 neuropsychiatric AE categories included "dizziness", "sleep disorders and disturbances", and "altered sensorium" (including disturbance in attention).
Inclution Criteria
• Is HIV-1 positive as determined by a positive result on an enzyme-immunoassay, has screening plasma HIV-1 RNA (determined by the central laboratory) ≥1000 copies/mL within 45 days prior to the treatment phase of this study, and has HIV treatment indicated based on physician assessment
• Has never received antiretroviral therapy (ART)
• Is highly unlikely to either become pregnant or impregnate a partner
Exclusion Criteria
• Has a history or current evidence of any condition, therapy, laboratory abnormality, or other circumstance that might confound results of the study
• Is a user of recreational or illicit drugs or has a recent history of alcohol/drug abuse
• Has been treated for a viral infection other than HIV-1 (e.g., hepatitis B) with an agent that is active against HIV-1
• Has participated in a study with an investigational drug/device within 30 days prior to Screening
• Has used systemic immunosuppressive therapy or immune modulators within 30 days prior to treatment in this study or is anticipated to need them during the course of the study
• Has a current (active) diagnosis of acute hepatitis due to any cause (note: participants with chronic hepatitis B and C may enter the study as long as they fulfill all entry criteria, have stable liver function tests, and have no significant impairment of hepatic synthetic function)
• Is a female who is pregnant, breastfeeding, or expecting to conceive
• Is a female and is expecting to donate eggs or is male and is expecting to donate sperm (investigators will provide appropriate guidance regarding egg and/or sperm donation after completion of the study treatment regimen)
• Has evidence of decompensated liver disease manifested by the presence of or a history of ascites, esophageal or gastric variceal bleeding, hepatic encephalopathy or other signs or symptoms of advanced liver diseases, or has liver cirrhosis and a Child-Pugh Class C score or Pugh-Turcotte (CPT) score > 9
