Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Percentage of Participants With HIV-1 RNA <50 Copies/mL at Week 24 Blood samples were collected and plasma human immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV-1) ribonucleic acid (RNA) were quantified using a real time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay with a lower limit of detection of 40 copies/mL. Missing values were counted as failure. Week 24
Primary Percentage of Participants With HIV-1 RNA <50 Copies/mL at Week 48 Blood samples were collected and plasma HIV-1 RNA were quantified using a real time PCR assay with a lower limit of detection of 40 copies/mL. Missing values were counted as failure. Week 48
Primary Number of Participants Experiencing Adverse Events (AEs) up to Week 144 An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study treatment, whether or not considered related to the study treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of a study treatment. Up to 144 weeks
Primary Number of Participants Discontinuing Study Drug Due to AEs up to Week 144 An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study treatment, whether or not considered related to the study treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of a study treatment. Up to 144 weeks
Secondary Percentage of Participants With HIV-1 RNA <50 Copies/mL up to 24 Weeks After 3TC and Placebo Are Discontinued From the Regimen Blood samples were collected and plasma HIV-1 RNA were quantified using a real time PCR assay with a lower limit of detection of 40 copies/mL, and missing values were counted as failure. 3TC and placebo are discontinued from the regimen from Week 24 up to Week 52. Up to 24 weeks after 3TC and Placebo are discontinued from the regimen (up to approximately 60 weeks after initiating treatment)
Secondary Percentage of Participants With HIV-1 RNA <50 Copies/mL up to 48 Weeks After 3TC and Placebo Are Discontinued From the Regimen Blood samples were collected and plasma HIV-1 RNA were quantified using a real time PCR assay with a lower limit of detection of 40 copies/mL, and missing values were counted as failure. 3TC and placebo are discontinued from the regimen from Week 24 up to Week 52. Up to 48 weeks
Secondary Percentage of Participants With HIV-1 RNA <50 Copies/mL up to 48 Weeks After Starting Open-label Doravirine/Islatravir Regimen (Part 4) Blood samples were collected and plasma HIV-1 RNA were quantified using a real time PCR assay with a lower limit of detection of 40 copies/mL.
