A Phase IIb Study Evaluating a Long-Acting Intramuscular Regimen of GSK1265744 Plus TMC278 For The Maintenance of Virologic Suppression Following an Induction of Virologic Suppression on an Oral Regimen of GSK1265744 Plus Abacavir/Lamivudine in HIV-1 Infected, Antiretroviral Therapy-Naive Adult Subjects

This study is a Phase IIb, randomized, multicentre, parallel group, open-label, study having
an overall objective to evaluate the antiviral activity, tolerability, and safety of two
intramuscular (IM) dosing regimens of GSK744 LA plus TMC278 LA, relative to GSK744 30
milligram (mg) plus Abacavir/Lamivudine (ABC/3TC) given orally once daily (QD), in HIV-1
infected antiretroviral-naïve subjects. GSK744 is the oral formulation of GSK1265744
(cabotegravir), GSK744 LA is the long acting injectable formulation of GSK1265744 and TMC278
LA is the long acting injectable formulation of TMC278.

The study will consist of three parts: an Induction Period, Maintenance Period and Extension
Period. There is also a Long-Term Follow Up Period for subjects who withdraw from the study
and have received at least one dose of GSK744 LA and / or TMC278 LA. In the Induction Period,
eligible subjects will receive a combination of an oral regimen of 30 mg of GSK744 and
600/300 mg of ABC/3TC, once daily for 20 weeks. In the Maintenance Period, eligible subjects
will be randomized 2:2:1 at Day 1 to receive an IM regimen of GSK744 LA 400 mg + TMC278 LA
600 mg every 4 weeks for 96 weeks (Q4W), an IM regimen of GSK744 LA 600 mg + TMC278 LA 900 mg
every 8 weeks for 96 weeks (Q8W), or to continue on the oral Induction Period regimen of
GSK744 30 mg + ABC/3TC once daily for 96 weeks (or 104 weeks if continuing on to the
Extension Period). The Extension Period will allow for a collection of longer term efficacy
and safety and tolerability data from subjects receiving GSK744 LA and TMC278 LA.

The study will involve sufficient subjects at screening in order to ensure a total of
approximately 265 subjects at the beginning of the Induction Period and approximately 225
subjects randomized into the Maintenance Period.


Inclusion Criteria:

- Subjects screened for this study must be HIV-1 infected and >=18 years of age.

- A female subject is eligible to enter and participate in the study if she: is of
non-child-bearing potential defined as either post-menopausal (12 months of
spontaneous amenorrhea and >=45 years of age) or physically incapable of becoming
pregnant with documented tubal ligation, hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy or; is
of child-bearing potential with a negative pregnancy test at both Screening and first
day of the Induction Period and agrees to use one of the following methods of
contraception to avoid pregnancy 2 weeks prior to administration of IP, throughout the
study, and for at least 2 weeks after discontinuation of all oral study medications
and for at least 52 weeks after discontinuation of GSK744 LA and TMC278 LA: Complete
abstinence from intercourse (where this is the subject's preferred and usual
lifestyle); double barrier method (male condom/spermicide, male condom/diaphragm,
diaphragm/spermicide); approved hormonal contraception; any intrauterine device (IUD)
with published data showing that the expected failure rate is <1% per year; male
partner sterilization prior to the female subject's entry into the study, and this
male is the sole partner for that subject; any other method with published data
showing that the lowest expected failure rate is <1% per year; any contraception
method must be used consistently and in accordance with the approved product label.
All subjects participating in the study must follow safer sexual practices including
the use of effective barrier methods (e.g. male condom/spermicide) to minimize risk of
HIV transmission.

- HIV-1 infection as documented by Screening plasma HIV-1 RNA>=1000 c/mL.

- CD4+ cell count >=200 cells/mm^3 (or higher as local guidelines dictate).

- ART-naive defined as having no more than 10 days of prior therapy with any
antiretroviral agent following a diagnosis of HIV-1 infection. Any previous exposure
to an HIV integrase inhibitor or non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor will
be exclusionary.

- French subjects: In France, a subject will be eligible for inclusion in this study
only if either affiliated to or a beneficiary of a social security category.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Women who are breastfeeding.

- Any evidence at screening of an active Center for Disease and Prevention Control (CDC)
Category C disease, except cutaneous Kaposi's sarcoma not requiring systemic therapy.

- Subjects with known moderate to severe hepatic impairment.

- Any pre-existing physical or mental condition (including substance abuse disorder)
which, in the opinion of the Investigator, may interfere with the subject's ability to
comply with the dosing schedule and/or protocol evaluations or which may compromise
the safety of the subject.

- Subject who, in the investigator's judgment, poses a significant suicide risk. Recent
history of suicidal behavior and/or suicidal ideation may be considered as evidence of
serious suicide risk.

- The subject has a tattoo or other dermatological condition overlying the gluteus
region which may interfere with interpretation of injection site reactions.

- History of ongoing or clinically relevant hepatitis within the previous 6 months,
including chronic Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection (HBsAg positive). Asymptomatic
individuals with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection will not be excluded,
however Investigators must carefully assess if therapy specific for HCV infection is
required; subjects who are anticipated to require such therapy during the randomized
portion of the study must be excluded.

- History of liver cirrhosis with or without hepatitis viral co-infection.

- Ongoing or clinically relevant pancreatitis.

- History of the following cardiac diseases: myocardial infarction, congestive heart
failure, documented hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, sustained ventricular tachycardia.

- Personal or known family history of prolonged QT syndrome.

- Any condition which, in the opinion of the Investigator, may interfere with the
absorption, distribution, metabolism or excretion of the drug or render the subject
unable to receive study medication.

- History or presence of allergy or intolerance to the study drugs or their components
or drugs of their class. In addition, if heparin is used during PK sampling, subjects
with a history of sensitivity to heparin or heparin-induced thrombocytopenia must not
be enrolled.

- Any evidence of primary resistance based on the presence of any major
resistance-associated mutation in the Screening result or, if known, any historical
resistance test result.

Investigator, would preclude the subject's participation in the study of an
investigational compound.

ALT >2xULN but <5xULN may participate in the study, if in the opinion of the
Investigator and GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) medical monitor the lab abnormality will not
interfere with the study procedures or compromise subject safety.

- Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) >=3xULN and bilirubin >=1.5xULN (with >35% direct
bilirubin).

- Any clinically significant finding on screening or Baseline electrocardiograph (ECG),
specifically: Heart rate <45 and >100 beats per minute (bpm) (Males) and <50 and >100

eligibility), QRS duration >120 milliseconds (msec), QTc interval (B or F) >450 msec;

pauses >2.5 seconds; 2nd degree (Type II) or higher atrio-ventricular (AV) block;
evidence of WPW (Wolff- Parkinson-White) syndrome (ventricular pre-excitation);

therapy, cytotoxic chemotherapeutic agents, tuberculosis therapy and Immunomodulators
that alter immune responses (such as systemic corticosteroids, interleukins, or
interferons)

- Treatment with an HIV-1 immunotherapeutic vaccine within 90 days of Screening.
