The goal of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the study drugs, lenacapavir (LEN) and emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (F/TAF) in preventing HIV infection, in adolescent girls and young women (AGYW). The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of LEN and F/TAF for HIV-1 PrEP in AGYW at risk of HIV-1 infection.
Phase 3 trials are pivotal studies with large patient populations (hundreds to thousands) designed to prove efficacy and safety for FDA submission. A successful Phase 3 readout is typically the last major hurdle before a New Drug Application (NDA) or BLA filing.
Enrollment is complete. The trial is in its follow-up or data collection phase — a readout may occur on or near the primary completion date.
Gilead Sciences (GILD) is the sponsoring company for this trial. BiotechSign currently grades this company F (28/100) based on composite catalyst signals across its full pipeline. This trial is one data point in that overall catalyst picture.
