Trial overview
Two interventional studies are investigating GS-1720 in people with HIV-1 infection.[1][2] Both studies compare GS-1720-based treatment with Biktarvy, which is the control treatment used in these trials.[1][2]
One study is in people who have not been treated for HIV-1 yet, and the other is in people who are already virologically suppressed.[1][2] Virologically suppressed means the virus is already kept at a low level in the blood.[2]
Who can participate
The first study includes treatment-naive people with HIV-1, meaning people who have not yet received treatment for HIV-1.[1] This study is designed to see whether a weekly oral GS-1720 and GS-4182 regimen can work well as an initial treatment option.[1]
The second study includes people with HIV-1 who are already virologically suppressed.[2] This study looks at whether people can switch to GS-1720 plus GS-4182 and still keep the virus controlled.[2]
Study design and phases
Both trials are listed as Phase 4 studies.[1][2] Phase 4 means the treatment is being studied in a later stage of research, with a focus on real-world use and continued evaluation.[1][2]
The first study includes Phase 2 and Phase 3 goals within its plan.[1] The second study also includes Phase 2 and Phase 3 goals within its plan.[2] In both studies, the research compares weekly oral GS-1720 plus GS-4182 with Biktarvy.[1][2]
Both studies are interventional, which means the researchers give a treatment and then measure the results.[1][2]
What the trials measure
The main result in the first study is the proportion of participants with HIV-1 RNA less than 50 copies/mL at Week 24 in Phase 2, and at Week 48 in Phase 3.[1] This is a standard way to check whether the virus is strongly controlled.[1]
The main result in the second study is the proportion of participants with HIV-1 RNA at 50 copies/mL or higher at Week 24 in Phase 2, and at Week 48 in Phase 3.[2] This helps show whether people who switch treatment can stay suppressed.[2]
Both studies use the FDA-defined snapshot algorithm to judge these results.[1][2] This is a fixed method used in trials to measure success at a specific time point.[1][2]
Key trial comparisons
In the first study, oral weekly GS-1720 is given with GS-4182 and compared with Biktarvy in people who have not been treated for HIV-1.[1] The brief summary says the study looks at both a Phase 2 comparison at Week 24 and a Phase 3 comparison at Week 48.[1]
In the second study, people who are already suppressed are switched to oral weekly GS-1720 with GS-4182 and compared with continuing Biktarvy.[2] This study also looks at both Week 24 and Week 48 results.[2]
The trial data also lists GS-1720 as being studied as part of a fixed-dose combination tablet regimen in the first and second studies.[1][2] A fixed-dose combination means more than one medicine is combined into one tablet or regimen.[1][2]
Trial status and size
The first study, NCT2024-512505-66-00, is marked Completed and enrolled 675 people.[1] This is the larger of the two studies listed in the source data.[1]
The second study, NCT06544733, is marked Authorised and enrolled 82 people.[2] This study is smaller and focuses on people with controlled HIV-1 who may switch treatment.[2]
