Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate any change from baseline in bone mineral density (BMD) in subjects following the switch from a triple antiretroviral therapy (ART) regimen containing Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) to the nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) - sparing two - drug regimen of dolutegravir (DTG) + rilpivirine (RPV) in subjects participating in the parent studies 201636 and 201637 (SWORD-1 and SWORD-2).

This open-label, parallel group, study is a sub-study which will recruit subjects who are receiving ART regimens which include TDF at the time of randomization to receive treatment in one of two identical parent studies 201636 and 201637 (SWORD-1 and SWORD-2). These are Phase III, randomised, open-label, multicentre, parallel-group, non-inferiority studies evaluating the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of switching to DTG plus RPV from current integrase inhibitor (INI)-, non NNRTI-, or protease inhibitor (PI)-based antiretroviral regimen in HIV-1-infected adults who are virologically suppressed, having HIV-1 ribonucleic acid (RNA) levels <50 copies per millilitre (c/mL). Randomisation in the parent studies will be stratified by baseline third agent class (INI, NNRTI, or PI), age group (< or =>50 years old) and participation in this Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) sub-study, therefore there will also be balance across the treatment arms in this sub-study both overall and with respect to baseline third agent class and age at entry.

The study population will include approximately 75 evaluable subjects recruited from the Early Switch DTG + RPV treatment group of the parent studies 201636 and 201637, and approximately 75 evaluable subjects from the Late Switch group who continue their current antiretroviral therapy (CAR) through to Week 52 across both the 201636 and 201637 (SWORD-1 and SWORD-2) studies. Subjects participating in study 202094 will have DEXA scans performed at Day 1 and at study Weeks 48, 100 and 148 in parallel with the corresponding scheduled visits in the parent studies.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Percent Change From Baseline in Total Hip Bone Mineral Density (BMD) at Week 48	Percent change in BMD (expressed as areal density in grams per centimeter square [g/cm^2]) as specified by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scans of the left 'total hip' which included the femoral neck, trochanter and inter-trochanter areas was assessed by areal density at Baseline and Week 48. The estimated value in the statistical analysis is this difference and the upper and lower limit values shown are the 95% confidence intervals. Baseline was considered as Day 1 and percent change from Baseline was calculated as Value at Week 48 minus Baseline value divided by Baseline value multiplied by 100. An analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model was used to compare the difference. The analysis was performed on Intent-to-Treat exposed DEXA (ITT-ED) Population which comprised of all participants in the ITT-E Population who received at least one dose of study treatment, and who were registered for the 202094 study.	Baseline (Day 1) and Week 48
Secondary	Percent Change From Baseline in Lumbar Spine BMD at Week 48	Percent change in BMD (expressed as areal density in g/cm^2) as specified by DEXA scans of the 'lumbar spine' which included the first lumbar vertebra (L1) to the fourth lumbar vertebra (L4) was assessed by areal density at Baseline and Week 48. The difference is adjusted percent change from Baseline to Week 48 between treatment groups. The estimated value in the statistical analysis is this difference and the upper and lower limit values shown are the 95% confidence intervals. Baseline was considered as Day 1 value and percent change from Baseline was calculated as Value at Week 48 minus Baseline value divided by Baseline value multiplied by 100. An ANCOVA model was used to compare the difference in percentage change from Baseline at week 48 in lumbar spine BMD between the DTG+RPV and CAR arms.	Baseline (Day 1) and Week 48
Secondary	Percent Change From Baseline in Total Hip and Lumbar Spine BMD-DTG+RPV Early Switch Group Through Early and Late Switch Phase	Percent change in BMD (expressed as areal density in g/cm^2) as specified by DEXA scans of left 'total hip' which included femoral neck, trochanter and inter-trochanter areas and 'lumbar spine' which included L1 to L4 was assessed by areal density. Percent change from Baseline is post-dose value minus Baseline value divided by Baseline value multiplied by 100. BMD parameters at Weeks 48, 100 and 148 reflect data adjusted following the ongoing longitudinal and cross-calibration of multiple DEXA scanner instruments in this study. Data presented through Week 48 only represent results of Week 48 Primary Endpoint analysis which applied DEXA scanner calibrations though Week 48, with no subsequent calibration applied. In the final analysis conducted at Week 148, DEXA scanner calibration data acquired from Day 1 to Week 148 was applied to all raw DEXA BMD data at Weeks 48, 100 and 148. Hence, actual values of Week 48 DEXA data may vary slightly between Weeks 48 and 148 analyses.	Baseline (Day 1), Week 48, Week 100 and Week 148
Secondary	Percent Change From Late Switch (LS) Baseline (Week 48) Through Week 148 in Total Hip and Lumbar Spine BMD-CAR Late Switch Group Through Late Switch Phase	Percent change in BMD (expressed as areal density in g/cm^2) as specified by DEXA scans of the left 'total hip' which included the femoral neck, trochanter and inter-trochanter areas was assessed by areal density at indicated time points. Percent change in BMD as specified by DEXA scans of the 'lumbar spine' which included the first lumbar vertebra (L1) to the fourth lumbar vertebra (L4) was assessed by areal density at indicated time points. The last pre-switch value (Week 48) was considered as LS Baseline and percent change from LS Baseline was calculated as post-dose visit value minus LS Baseline value divided by LS Baseline value multiplied by 100. The analysis was based on Late-Switch Intent-to-Treat Exposed DEXA (LS-ITT-ED) Population which comprised of all participants in the LS-ITT-E Population, and who were registered for the DEXA study.	LS Baseline (Week 48), Week 100 and Week 148
Secondary	Change From Baseline in Total Hip and Lumbar Spine BMD at Week 48 Assessed by T-score and Z-score	Total hip and lumbar spine BMD was assessed by T-scores and Z-scores. Day 1 was considered as Baseline. Change from Baseline was calculated as the value at Week 48 minus Baseline. DEXA scans of the left 'total hip' (femoral neck, hip, inter-trochanter areas, trochanter) and 'lumbar spine' (lumbar vertebral column) were performed. T-score is the number of standard deviations above or below the mean BMD of a 30-year-old participant of the same sex. Caucasian reference values were used for all participants to calculate T-scores. T-score values > -1.0 are considered normal, T-score values <= -1.0 to > -2.5 indicate osteopenia, T-score values <= -2.5 to <-3.5 indicate osteoporosis and T-score values <= -3.5 indicate severe osteoporosis. The Z-score is the number of standard deviations above or below the mean BMD for a reference population of same age and sex and in this study. Caucasian reference values were used in calculation of Z-scores.	Baseline (Day 1) and Week 48
Secondary	Change From Baseline in Total Hip and Lumbar Spine BMD as Assessed by T-scores and Z-scores - DTG+RPV Early Switch Group Through Early and Late Switch Phase	T-score is the number of standard deviations above or below the mean BMD of a 30-year-old participant of same sex. Caucasian reference values were used to calculate T- and Z- scores. T-score values: > -1.0 is normal; <= -1.0 to > -2.5 indicate osteopenia; <= -2.5 to <-3.5 indicate osteoporosis; <= -3.5 indicate severe osteoporosis. Z-score is the number of standard deviations above or below the mean BMD for a reference population of same age and sex in this study. Change from Baseline is post-dose visit value minus Baseline value. Data for Week 48 only represent final results of Week 48 Primary Endpoint analysis which applied DEXA scanner calibrations through Week 48, with no subsequent calibration applied. In the final analysis conducted at Week 148, DEXA scanner calibration data acquired from Day 1 to Week 148 was applied to all raw DEXA BMD data at Weeks 48, 100 and 148. Hence, actual values of Week 48 DEXA data may vary slightly between Weeks 48 and 148 analyses.	Baseline (Day 1), Week 48, Week 100 and Week 148
Secondary	Change From LS Baseline (Week 48) Through Week 148 in Total Hip and Lumbar Spine BMD as Assessed by T-scores and Z-scores-CAR Late Switch Group Through Late Switch Phase	The last pre-switch value (Week 48) was considered as LS Baseline and change from LS Baseline was calculated as the post-dose visit value minus LS Baseline value. DEXA scans of the left 'total hip' (femoral neck, hip, inter-trochanter areas, trochanter) and 'lumbar spine' (lumbar vertebral column) were performed. T-score is the number of standard deviations above or below the mean BMD of a 30-year-old participant of the same sex. Caucasian reference values were used for all participants to calculate T-scores. T-score values > -1.0 are considered normal, T-score values <= -1.0 to > -2.5 indicate osteopenia, T-score values <= -2.5 to <-3.5 indicate osteoporosis and T-score values <= -3.5 indicate severe osteoporosis. The Z-score is the number of standard deviations above or below the mean BMD for a reference population of same age and sex and in this study.
