Clinical Trial Summary

The main purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of oral Islatravir (ISL) once monthly (QM) as Preexposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) in cisgender men who have sex with men (MSM) and transgender women (TGW) who have sex with men and who are at high risk of HIV-1 infection with 48 or 96 weeks of treatment and a minimum follow-up of 42 days.


Clinical Trial Description

Based on laboratory findings of decreased lymphocyte and CD4+ T-cell counts across the islatravir program, dosing of blinded study intervention was halted on 13-Dec-2021. Blinded assessments conducted prior to then are designated as Study Part 1. During Study Part 2, participants from Part 1 were switched to PrEP therapy with emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil (FTC/TDF) or emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (FTC/TAF) while continuing in the study. In Part 3, participants, investigators, and all Sponsor personnel are unblinded to participant's original randomized intervention group, and participants may continue to receive unblinded FTC/TDF or FTC/TAF. Screening and randomization of new participants have stopped, with no new participants being enrolled in Part 2 or Part 3. ;
