Blinded Phase: LEN + Placebo-to-match (PTM) F/TAF
Blinded Phase: LEN + PTM F/TDF
Blinded Phase: Placebo LEN + F/TAF
Blinded Phase: Placebo LEN + F/TDF
LEN Open-Label Extension (OLE) Phase
Pharmacokinetic (PK) Tail Coverage Phase
Participants will receive the following for at least 52 weeks: Subcutaneous (SC) lenacapavir (LEN) 927 mg every 26 weeks Oral PTM Emtricitabine/Tenofovir Alafenamide (F/TAF) once daily Oral LEN 600 mg on Days 1 and 2
Participants will receive the following for at least 52 weeks: SC LEN 927 mg every 26 weeks Oral PTM Emtricitabine/Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate (F/TDF) once daily Oral LEN 600 mg on Days 1 and 2
Participants will receive the following for at least 52 weeks: SC placebo LEN every 26 weeks Oral F/TAF 200/25 mg once daily Oral PTM LEN on Days 1 and 2
Participants will receive the following for at least 52 weeks: SC placebo LEN every 26 weeks Oral F/TDF 200/300 mg once daily Oral PTM LEN on Days 1 and 2
After completion of the Blinded phase, participants will be offered entry into the LEN OLE Phase. Participants randomized to LEN will continue to receive SC LEN 927 mg every 26 weeks for a total of 2 doses. Participants randomized to F/TAF or F/TDF will receive SC LEN 927 mg on OLE Day 1 and OLE Week 26, and will also receive oral LEN 600 mg on OLE Days 1 and 2.
At the completion of the LEN OLE phase, participants will transition into the PK Tail Coverage phase. Additionally, participants that either prematurely discontinue the study drug during the blinded phase or choose not to continue in the LEN OLE phase (if randomized to LEN in the blinded phase) or who discontinue the study drug in the LEN OLE phase are also eligible to transition to the PK Tail Coverage phase. Participants will receive oral F/TDF once daily for 78 weeks beginning 26 weeks after the last LEN injection.
