Brief Summary:
This study is being conducted to assess the antiretroviral activity of a fixed-drug, single tablet, combination of Bictegravir 50mg/ Emtricitabine 200mg/ Tenofovir alafenamide 25mg (Biktarvy®) dosed twice daily in HIV-1 infected, ART-naïve patients with TB co-infection receiving a rifampicin-based tuberculosis (TB) treatment regimen. This study will assess the activity of Bictegravir and dolutegravir-containing ART regimens in patients with drug-susceptible TB through 48 weeks

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
HIV/AIDS Tuberculosis, Pulmonary Combination Product: Biktarvy® Combination Product: TLD- fixed-drug combination single tablet Phase 2

Detailed Description:

Primary objective: To characterize viral suppression rates (proportion of patients with suppressed viral load) at week 24 in the BIC arm

Secondary objectives:

To characterize viral suppression rates at weeks 12, 24 and 48 in the standard of care treatment (SOC) arm (currently, TDF 300mg/3TC 300mg/DTG 50mg) and at weeks 12 and 48 in the BIC/FTC/TAF arm.

To compare the pharmacokinetics (PK) of BIC when given twice daily and co-administered with Rifampicin during tuberculosis treatment vs when given alone after discontinuation of Rifampicin

To assess the incidence of TB associated IRIS in each arm, through week 24.

To characterize the tolerability of treatment in each arm by assessing frequency of clinician-initiated treatment interruptions or switches through week 48.

To assess frequency of ART drug resistance mutations in participants with detectable viral load at study visit weeks 24 and 48.

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: BIC arm
The Intervention Arm ART regimen is a fixed-drug combination of a single tablet co-formulated regimen containing Bictegravir 50mg Emtricitabine 200mg and tenofovir alafenamide 25mg (BIC/FTC/TAF; Biktarvy®) that will be taken twice a day during rifampicin-containing TB treatment and 2 weeks after stopping TB treatment, thereafter the BIC/FTC/TAF single tablet co-formulation will be taken once daily.
Combination Product: Biktarvy®

Biktarvy® is a fixed dose combination, single tablet containing bictegravir (BIC), emtricitabine (FTC), and tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) for oral administration.

BIC is an integrase strand transfer inhibitor (INSTI). FTC, a synthetic nucleoside analog of cytidine, is an HIV nucleoside analog reverse transcriptase inhibitor (HIV NRTI). TAF, an HIV NRTI, is converted in vivo to tenofovir, an acyclic nucleoside phosphonate (nucleotide) analog of adenosine 5'-monophosphate. Each tablet contains 50 mg of BIC (equivalent to 52.5 mg of bictegravir sodium), 200 mg of FTC, and 25 mg of TAF (equivalent to 28 mg of tenofovir alafenamide fumarate) and the following inactive ingredients: croscarmellose sodium, magnesium stearate, and microcrystalline cellulose.


Active Comparator: DTG Arm
Dolutegravir 50mg /Lamivudine 300mg/ Tenofovir 300mg (TLD- fixed-drug combination single tablet) plus Dolutegravir 50mg evening dose during TB treatment and for two weeks after completion of TB treatment, then TLD once daily thereafter- as per Standard of Care (SOC)
Combination Product: TLD- fixed-drug combination single tablet
Standard of care Dolutegravir-based regimen
Other Name: Dolutegravir 50mg /Lamivudine 300mg/ Tenofovir 300mg
