Project PrEPare - An Open Label Demonstration Project and Phase II Safety Study of Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis Use Among Young Men Who Have Sex With Men (YMSM) in the United States

Approximately 200 HIV-uninfected young men who have sex with men (YMSM) at high risk of
acquiring HIV infection, ages 18-22 years, inclusive, will be recruited across all
participating Adolescent Medicine Trials Units (AMTU). The behavioral intervention will be
assigned at the level of the site, which include Many Men, Many Voices (3MV) and Personalized
Cognitive Counseling (PCC). Subjects will first complete the behavioral intervention offered
at their respective site and then be provided with open label emtricitabine (FTC)/tenofovir
(TDF) (Truvada®) as PrEP. Behavioral and biomedical data will be collected at baseline and 0,
4, 8, 12, 24, 36 and 48 weeks. Any subjects who become HIV infected during the course of the
study will be discontinued from the study agent and followed for an additional 24 weeks after
the study visit at which HIV infection is confirmed. Those subjects who meet specific bone or
renal criteria at the Week 48 visit or the 24-Week HIV Seropositive visit will be followed
for an additional 48 weeks in the Extension Phase to monitor longer-term outcomes of
potential concerns.

The primary objectives of the study are to provide additional safety data regarding FTC/TDF
(Truvada®) use as PrEP in YMSM, to examine acceptability, patterns of use, rates of
adherence, measure levels of drug exposure and patterns of risk behavior when YMSM are
provided open label FTC/TDF (Truvada®). The study will also examine information regarding
safety and efficacy of FTC/TDF (Truvada®) as PrEP from prior studies.

- At least one episode of unprotected anal intercourse with an HIV-infected male
partner or a male partner of unknown HIV status during the last 6 months;

- Anal intercourse with 3 or more male sex partners during the last 6 months;

- Exchange of money, gifts, shelter, or drugs for anal sex with a male partner
during the last 6 months;

- Sex with a male partner and has had a sexually transmitted infection (STI) during

- At least one episode of anal intercourse where the condom broke or slipped off
during the last 6 months;

- Tests HIV antibody negative at time of screening;

- Willing to provide locator information to study staff;

- Willing to participate in behavioral intervention;

- Reports intention not to relocate out of the Adolescent Medicine Trial Unit (AMTU)
study area during the course of the study; and

- Does not have a job or other obligations that would require long absences from the

Exclusion Criteria:

- Appears visibly distraught or presence of active serious psychiatric symptoms (e.g.,

time of consent;

- Intoxicated or under the influence of alcohol or other drugs at the time of consent;

- Any significant uncontrolled, active or chronic disease process that, in the judgment
of the site investigator, would make participation in the study inappropriate.
(Appropriately managed conditions, like well-controlled diabetes, would not preclude
enrollment; the site is encouraged to contact the Adolescent Medicine Trials Network
for HIV/AIDS Interventions (ATN) 110 Protocol Team if they are having difficulty
making the judgment.);

- History of bone fractures not explained by trauma;

- Acute or chronic hepatitis B infection as indicated by positive hepatitis B surface
antigen (sAg) test at time of screening;

- Confirmed renal dysfunction (Creatinine Clearance (CrCl) < 75 ml/min, or serum
creatinine ≥ upper limit of normal (ULN), or history of renal parenchymal disease or
presence of only one kidney at time of screening;

- Confirmed ≥ Grade 2 hypophosphatemia at time of screening;

- Confirmed ≥ Grade 2 hematologic system abnormality (White Blood Count (WBC), Absolute
Neutrophil Count (ANC), hemoglobin, or platelets) at time of screening;

- Confirmed ≥ Grade 2 hepatobiliary system abnormality (Aspartate aminotransferase
(AST), Alanine aminotransferase (ALT), or bilirubin) at time of screening;

- Confirmed proteinuria as indicated by urine dipstick result ≥ 1+ at time of screening,
regardless of urine protein to creatinine ratio(UP/C);

- UP/C > 0.37 g/g at time of screening, regardless of urine dipstick protein result;

- Confirmed normoglycemic glucosuria as indicated by urine dipstick result ≥ 1+ in the
presence of normal serum glucose (<120 mg/dL) at time of screening;

- A confirmed Grade ≥ 3 toxicity on any screening evaluations;

- Known allergy/sensitivity to the study agent or its components;

- Concurrent participation in an HIV vaccine study or other investigational drug study,
including oral or topical PrEP (microbicide) studies;
