A Phase 3, Two-Part Study to Evaluate the Efficacy of Tenofovir Alafenamide Versus Placebo Added to a Failing Regimen Followed by Treatment With Elvitegravir/Cobicistat/Emtricitabine/Tenofovir Alafenamide Plus Atazanavir in HIV-1 Positive, Antiretroviral Treatment-Experienced Adults
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of tenofovir alafenamide
(TAF) versus placebo, each administered with the existing, failing antiretroviral (ARV)
regimen. There are 2 parts to this study: Part 1 and Part 2.
Part 1 consists of 2 cohorts, starting with a sentinel cohort, in which participants will be
enrolled to receive open-label TAF in addition to their current failing ARV regimen. This
cohort will then be followed by a randomized, double-blind, cohort to compare the addition of
TAF or placebo in HIV-1 positive adults who are failing their current ARV regimen.
In Part 2, all participants who complete Part 1 of the study will discontinue their failing
ARV regimen and TAF or placebo for a 14-day washout period. Following the washout period, all
participants who received TAF in Part 1 and have a > 0.5 log10 decline in HIV-1 RNA will
receive elvitegravir/cobicistat/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (E/C/F/TAF) single-tablet
regimen (STR) plus atazanavir (ATV) once daily for 48 weeks. Participants who received TAF
who have a ≤ 0.5 log10 decline in HIV-1 RNA will be discontinued from the study and will not
be eligible to continue into Part 2 of the study. All participants who received placebo in
Part 1 will be eligible to participate in Part 2 regardless of their viral load change. After
completion of Part 2, all participants will be eligible to continue to receive E/C/F/TAF plus
ATV in the extension phase until E/C/F/TAF becomes commercially available, or until Gilead
Sciences terminates development of E/C/F/TAF in the applicable country.

Key Inclusion Criteria:
- Ability to understand and sign a written informed consent form, which must be obtained
prior to initiation of study procedures

- Plasma HIV-1 RNA ≥ 500 copies/mL but ≤ 100,000 copies/mL at screening
- Normal ECG
- Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥ 50 mL/min according to the
Cockcroft-Gault formula for creatinine clearance

- Adequate hematologic function
- Serum amylase ≤ 5 × ULN
- Females may enter the study if it is confirmed that she is:
- Not pregnant or nursing
- Of non-childbearing potential (ie, have had a hysterectomy, both ovaries removed,
medically documented ovarian failure, or are postmenopausal women > 54 years of
age with cessation [for ≥ 12 months] of previously occurring menses), or
- Of childbearing potential and agrees to utilize highly effective contraception
methods or be non-heterosexually active or practice sexual abstinence from
screening throughout the duration of study treatment and for 30 days following
study drug dosing
- Females who utilize hormonal contraceptive as one of their birth control
methods must have used the same method for at least three months prior to
study dosing.
- Males must agree to utilize a highly effective method of contraception during
heterosexual intercourse or be non-heterosexually active, or practice sexual
abstinence from first dose throughout the study period and for 30 days following the
last study drug dose.
- Males must agree to refrain from sperm donation from first dose until at least 30 days
after the last study drug dose.
Key Exclusion Criteria:
- A new AIDS-defining condition diagnosed within the 30 days prior to screening
- Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) positive
- Hepatitis C antibody positive (individuals with positive hepatitis C virus (HCV)
antibody and without detectable HCV RNA are permitted to enroll)

- Current alcohol or substance use
- History of malignancy within the past 5 years (prior to screening) or ongoing
malignancy other than cutaneous Kaposi's sarcoma (KS), basal cell carcinoma, or
resected, non-invasive cutaneous squamous carcinoma. Individuals with cutaneous KS are
eligible, but must not have received any systemic therapy for KS within 30 days of
Part 1, Day 1 and must not be anticipated to require systemic therapy during the
study.
- Active, serious infections (other than HIV-1 infection) requiring parenteral
antibiotic or antifungal therapy within 30 days prior to Part 1, Day 1
- Any other clinical condition or prior therapy that would make the individual
unsuitable for the study or unable to comply with dosing requirements
- Participation in any other clinical trial (including observational trials) without
prior approval from the sponsor is prohibited while participating in this trial
