A Phase III Multicenter, Double-Blind, Randomized, Active Comparator-Controlled Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Reformulated Raltegravir 1200 mg Once Daily Versus Raltegravir 400 mg Twice Daily, Each in Combination With TRUVADA™, in Treatment-Naïve HIV-1 Infected Subjects

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of reformulated raltegravir (MK-0518) 1200 mg once daily
in combination with TRUVADA™ versus raltegravir 400 mg twice daily in combination with
TRUVADA™ in HIV-1 infected, treatment-naive participants. The primary hypothesis being
tested is that reformulated raltegravir 1200 mg once-daily is non-inferior to raltegravir
400 mg twice-daily, each in combination therapy with TRUVADA™, as assessed by the proportion
of participants achieving HIV-1 ribonucleic acid (RNA) <40 copies/mL at Week 48.
