Efficacy and Safety of Switching to Daily Bictegravir Plus Lenacapavir From a Complex HIV Treatment Regimen: A Randomized, Open-Label, Multicenter Phase 2 Study (ARTISTRY-1).

ABSTRACT:

Background

Complex antiretroviral therapy (ART) regimens, such as those requiring multiple tablets, several doses per day, or both, can negatively affect quality of life and treatment adherence among people with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).

Methods

ARTISTRY-1 is a phase 2/3, operationally seamless, randomized, open-label, multicenter, active-controlled study (GS-US-621-6289; NCT05502341). Phase 2 of the study enrolled adults with plasma HIV-1 RNA <50 copies/mL receiving a complex ART regimen for ≥6 months. Efficacy and safety outcomes were evaluated after a switch to bictegravir (BIC) (75-mg) + lenacapavir (LEN) (25- or 50-mg) regimens, compared with continuing on a complex ART regimen through 24 weeks.

Results

Overall, 128 participants were assigned randomly t
