Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: ISL+LEN

Participants will receive the following for at least 48 weeks:

  • Day 1: LEN oral 600 mg (2 x 300 mg) and ISL 2 mg (2 x 1 mg)
  • Day 2: LEN only oral 600 mg (2 x 300 mg)
  • Day 8 and weekly thereafter (ie, every 7 days): LEN oral 300 mg (1 x 300 mg) and ISL 2 mg (2 x 1 mg)
Drug: ISL
Capsules administered orally without regard to food

Drug: LEN
Tablets administered orally without regard to food
Other Name: GS-6207

Experimental: B/F/TAF

Participants will receive the following for at least 48 weeks:

  • bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (B/F/TAF) 50/200/25 mg once daily

After 48 weeks, participants will switch from B/F/TAF to ISL+LEN

  • Day 1: LEN oral 600 mg (2 x 300 mg) and ISL 2 mg (2 x 1 mg)
  • Day 2: LEN only oral 600 mg (2 x 300 mg)
  • Day 8 and weekly thereafter (ie, every 7 days): LEN oral 300 mg (1 x 300 mg) and ISL 2 mg

Participants who do not switch from B/F/TAF to ISL+LEN at Week 48 will be discontinued from the study.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Proportion of Participants With HIV-1 RNA ≥ 50 Copies/mL at Week 24 as Determined by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-defined Snapshot Algorithm [ Time Frame: Week 24 ]

Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Proportion of Participants With HIV-1 RNA ≥ 50 Copies/mL at Week 12 as Determined by the US FDA-defined Snapshot Algorithm [ Time Frame: Week 12 ]
  2. Proportion of Participants With HIV-1 RNA ≥ 50 Copies/mL at Week 48 as Determined by the US FDA-defined Snapshot Algorithm [ Time Frame: Week 48 ]
  3. Proportions of Participants With HIV-1 RNA < 50 copies/mL at Week 12 as Determined by the US FDA-defined Snapshot Algorithm [ Time Frame: Week 12 ]
  4. Proportions of Participants With HIV-1 RNA < 50 copies/mL at Week 24 as Determined by the US FDA-defined Snapshot Algorithm [ Time Frame: Week 24 ]
  5. Proportions of Participants With HIV-1 RNA < 50 copies/mL at Week 48 as Determined by the US FDA-defined Snapshot Algorithm [ Time Frame: Week 48 ]
  6. Change From Baseline in Clusters of Differentiation 4 (CD4)+ Cell Count at Week 12 [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 12 ]
  7. Change From Baseline in CD4+ Cell Count at Week 24 [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 24 ]
  8. Change From Baseline in CD4+ Cell Count at Week 48 [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 48 ]
  9. Percentage of Participants Experiencing Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events Leading to Study Drug Discontinuation [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]
  10. Pharmacokinetic (PK) Parameter: Cmax of Islatravir (ISL) and Lenacapavir (LEN) [ Time Frame: Day 1 up to Week 36 ]
    Cmax is defined as the maximum observed concentration of drug.

  11. PK Parameter: Tmax of ISL and LEN [ Time Frame: Day 1 up to Week 36 ]
    Tmax is defined as the time (observed time point) of Cmax.

  12. PK Parameter: Ctau of ISL and LEN [ Time Frame: Day 1 up to Week 36 ]
    Ctau is defined as the observed drug concentration at the end of the dosing interval.

  13. PK Parameter: AUCtau of ISL and LEN [ Time Frame: Day 1 up to Week 36 ]
    AUCtau is defined as concentration of drug over time (the area under the concentration verses time curve over the dosing interval).

  14. PK Parameter: t1/2 of ISL and LEN [ Time Frame: Day 1 up to Week 36 ]
    t1/2 is defined as the estimate of the terminal elimination half-life of the drug.
