The goal of this clinical study is to learn more about the safety and efficacy of switching to a once weekly tablet of islatravir/lenacapavir (ISL/LEN) regimen versus continuing standard of care treatment in people with human immunodeficiency virus (PWH) who are virologically suppressed (HIV-1 RNA levels \< 50 copies/mL) on a stable standard of care regimen for ≥ 6 months prior to screening. The standard of care includes 2 or 3 medicines, antiretroviral agents (ARVs). The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of switching to oral weekly ISL/LEN tablet regimen versus continuing standard of care in virologically suppressed PWH at Week 48.
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.
