A Phase III, Randomized, Multicenter, Parallel-group, Non-inferiority Study Evaluating the Efficacy, Safety, and Tolerability of Switching to Dolutegravir Plus Lamivudine in HIV-1 Infected Adults Who Are Virologically Suppressed

The aim of the study is to establish if human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infected
adult subjects with current virologic suppression on a ≥3-drug tenofovir alafenamide (TAF)
based regimen (TBR) remain suppressed upon switching to a two-drug regimen of dolutegravir
(DTG) 50 milligram (mg) + lamivudine (3TC) 300 mg. This study will also provide important
information regarding the safety and subject satisfaction with this two-drug regimen. The
primary objective of this trial is to demonstrate the non-inferior antiviral activity of
switching to DTG + 3TC once daily compared to continuation of TBR over 48 weeks in HIV-1
infected, ART-experienced, virologically suppressed subjects. This study also will
characterize the long-term antiviral activity, tolerability and safety of DTG + 3TC compared
to TBR through Week 144 and characterize the long-term antiviral activity, tolerability and
safety of DTG + 3TC through Week 200.

This will be a 200-week, Phase III, randomized, open-label, active-controlled, multicenter,
parallel-group study. The study will include a screening phase (up to 28 days), a randomized
early switch phase (Day 1 up to Week 148), a randomized late switch phase (Week 148 up to
Week 200), and a continuation phase (post Week 200). Approximately 550 HIV-1 infected adults
on stable TBR will be randomized 1:1 to switch to DTG + 3TC once daily for up to 200 weeks,
or to continue their TBR for 148 weeks, at which time and if HIV-1 ribonucleic acid (RNA) <50
copies per milliliter (c/mL) at Week 144, these subjects will switch to DTG + 3TC up to Week
200.


Inclusion Criteria:

- Subject must be able to understand and comply with protocol requirements,
instructions, and restrictions;

- Subject must be likely to complete the study as planned;

- Subject must be considered an appropriate candidate for participation in an
investigative clinical trial with medication (e.g. no active substance abuse, acute
major organ disease, or planned long-term work assignments out of the country).

- Aged 18 years or older (older where required by local regulatory agencies), at the
time of signing the informed consent.

- HIV-1 infected men or women.

- Documented evidence of at least two plasma HIV-1 RNA measurements <50 c/mL in the 12
months prior to Screening: one within the 6 to 12 month window, and one within 6
months prior to Screening.

- Plasma HIV-1 RNA <50 c/mL at Screening.

- Must be on uninterrupted ART for at least 6 months prior to screening. Only the
following regimens are allowed:

- Subject on a TAF-based regimen for at least 6 months, or

- Subjects who switched from tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) (as part of
first-line regimen) to tenofovir alafenamide (TAF), without any changes to the
other drugs in their regimen, and have been on the TAF-based regimen for at least
3 months immediately prior to Screening. The switch must have occurred due to
tolerability/safety, access to medications, or convenience/simplification, and
must NOT have been done for suspected or established treatment failure.

- A female subject is eligible to participate if she is not pregnant (as confirmed by a
negative serum human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) test at screen and a negative urine
hCG test at randomization), not lactating, and at least one of the following
conditions applies:

a. Non-reproductive potential defined as:

- Pre-menopausal females with one of the following:

- Documented tubal ligation

- Documented hysteroscopic tubal occlusion procedure with follow-up confirmation of
bilateral tubal occlusion

- Hysterectomy

- Documented bilateral oophorectomy

- Post-menopausal defined as 12 months of spontaneous amenorrhea [in questionable cases
a blood sample with simultaneous follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and estradiol
levels consistent with menopause]. Females on hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and
whose menopausal status is in doubt will be required to use one of the highly
effective contraception methods if they wish to continue their HRT during the study.
Otherwise, they must discontinue HRT to allow confirmation of post-menopausal status
prior to study enrolment.

b. Reproductive potential and agrees to follow highly effective methods for avoiding
pregnancy in females of reproductive potential (FRP) from 30 days prior to the first
dose of study medication and for at least 2 weeks after the last dose of study
medication.

- The investigator is responsible for ensuring that subjects understand how to properly
use these methods of contraception. All subjects participating in the study should be
counseled on safer sexual practices including the use and benefit/risk of effective
barrier methods (e.g., male condom) and on the risk of HIV transmission to an
uninfected partner.

- Capable of giving signed informed consent, which includes compliance with the
requirements and restrictions of the consent form and the protocol. Eligible subjects
or their legal guardians must sign a written informed consent form before any
protocol-specified assessments are conducted.

Subjects enrolled in France must be affiliated to, or a beneficiary of, a social security
category.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Women who are breastfeeding or plan to become pregnant or breastfeed during the study.

- Any evidence of an active Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Stage 3
disease, EXCEPT cutaneous Kaposi's sarcoma not requiring systemic therapy. Historical
or current CD4 cell counts less than 200 cells/millimeter (mm)^3 are NOT exclusionary.

- Subjects with severe hepatic impairment (Class C) as determined by Child-Pugh
classification.

- Unstable liver disease (as defined by the presence of ascites, encephalopathy,
coagulopathy, hypoalbuminaemia, oesophageal or gastric varices, or persistent
jaundice), cirrhosis, known biliary abnormalities (with the exception of Gilbert's
syndrome or asymptomatic gallstones).

- Evidence of Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection based on the results of testing at
Screening for Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), Hepatitis B core antibody
(anti-HBc), Hepatitis B surface antigen antibody (anti-HBs) and HBV deoxyribonucleic
acid (DNA) as follows: subjects positive for HBsAg are excluded; subjects negative for
anti-HBs but positive for anti-HBc (negative HBsAg status) and positive for HBV DNA
are excluded.

Note: Subjects positive for anti-HBc (negative HBsAg status) and positive for anti-HBs
(past and/or current evidence) are immune to HBV and are not excluded. Anti-HBc must be
either total anti-HBc or anti-HBc immunoglobulin G (IgG), and NOT anti-HBc IgM.

- Anticipated need for any hepatitis C virus (HCV) therapy during the first 48 weeks of
the study, for HCV therapy based on interferon or for any drugs that have a potential
for adverse drug-drug interactions with study treatment throughout the entire study
period.

- Untreated syphilis infection (positive rapid plasma reagin [RPR] at Screening without
clear documentation of treatment). Subjects who are at least 7 days post completed
treatment are eligible.

- History or presence of allergy or intolerance to the study drugs or their components
or drugs of their class.

- Ongoing malignancy other than cutaneous Kaposi's sarcoma, basal cell carcinoma, or
