Study of Bictegravir/Lenacapavir in Children and Adolescents With HIV-1

Description

The goal of this clinical study is to learn about the safety and tolerability of bictegravir/lenacapavir (BIC/LEN) and to learn how the study drug interacts with the body in virologically suppressed (VS) children and adolescents with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) on a stable and complex antiretroviral (ARV) regimen. The study will also assess the safe loading dose of LEN and pharmacokinetics (PK) of BIC/LEN. The primary objectives of this study are: * To evaluate the steady-state PK of BIC and LEN and confirm the dose of the LEN loading dose and BIC/LEN FDC in VS children and adolescents with HIV-1. * To evaluate the safety and tolerability of BIC/LEN through Week 24 in VS children and adolescents with HIV-1.

Conditions

HIV-1-infection

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

For general information about clinical research, read Learn About Studies.

Eligibility Criteria

  • * Age and body weight at screening:
  • * Cohort 1: ≥ 12 years to \< 18 years weighing ≥ 35 kg.
  • * Cohort 2: ≥ 6 years to \< 12 years weighing ≥ 25 kg to \< 35 kg.
  • * Cohort 3: ≥ 2 years to \< 6 years weighing ≥ 10 kg to \< 25 kg.
  • * On a complex ARV regimen. Complex regimens are any ARV therapy that is not a single-tablet regimen taken once daily (eg, \> 1 tablet or any other formulation a day).
  • * Documented plasma HIV-1 ribonucleic acid (RNA) levels must be \< 50 copies/mL (or undetectable HIV-1 RNA level according to the local assay being used if the limit of detection is \< 50 copies/mL) in the last 6 months prior to screening (at least 1 measure prior to screening).
  • * Plasma HIV-1 RNA levels \< 50 copies/mL at screening.
  • * No documented or suspected resistance to integrase strand transfer inhibitors (mutations T66A/I/K, E92G/Q/V, G118R, F121C/Y, G140R, Y143C/H/R, S147G, Q148H/K/R, N155H/S, or R263K in the integrase gene).
  • * The following laboratory parameters at screening:
  • * Estimated glomerular filtration rate ≥ 30 mL/min/1.73 m2 using the Bedside Schwartz formula.
  • * Absolute neutrophil count \> 0.50 cells/L (\> 500 cells/mm3).
  • * Hemoglobin ≥ 85 g/L (\> 8.5 g/dL).
  • * Platelets ≥ 50 cells/L (≥ 50,000 cells/mm3).
  • * Hepatic transaminases (aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase)
  • * Total bilirubin ≤ 23 μmol/L (≤ 1.5 mg/dL) and direct bilirubin ≤ 7 μmol/L (≤ 0.4 mg/dL).
  • * CD4 cell count \< 200 cells/mm\^3.
  • * CD4 percentage \< 20%.
  • * Life expectancy ≤ 1 year.
  • * An opportunistic illness indicative of Stage 3 HIV diagnosed within the 30 days prior to screening.
  • * Evidence of active pulmonary or extrapulmonary tuberculosis within 3 months prior to screening.
  • * Acute hepatitis within 30 days prior to screening.
  • * Positive hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody with detectable HCV RNA (participants positive for HCV antibody will have an HCV RNA test performed).
  • * Positive hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) or positive hepatitis B virus (HBV) core antibody (antibody against hepatitis B core antigen \[anti-HBc\]) at screening. If a participant is negative for HBsAg and positive for anti-HBc but HBV DNA is undetectable, the participant may be enrolled.
  • * A history of or current decompensated liver cirrhosis (eg, ascites, encephalopathy, or variceal bleeding).Current alcohol or substance use judged by the investigator to potentially interfere with the participant's study compliance.
