1.Primary Outcome
Title Percentage of Participants With Plasma Human Immunodeficiency Viruses (HIV)-1 Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) Greater Than or Equal to (>=) 50 Copies Per Milliliter (c/mL) at Month 12/11 - ITT-E Population
Hide Description Percentage of participants with plasma HIV 1 RNA >= 50 c/mL at month 12 was assessed using the food and drug administration (FDA) snapshot algorithm. For the Q2M arm, data from the Q2M OLI participants at Month 12 visit and Q2M D2I participants at Month 11 visit were combined as the study objective was to demonstrate the non-inferior antiviral activity of (Q2M) (OLI+ D2I combined) compared to BIK. For BIK arm, data was collected at month 12 visit. Month 12/11 refers to the Month 12 (OLI and BIK) visit/Month 11 (DTI) visit. The FDA snapshot algorithm defines a participant's virologic response status using only the viral load at the predefined time point within a window of time (HIV-RNA equal to or above 50 copies/mL and HIV-RNA below 50 copies/mL), along with study drug discontinuation status. The third category of the FDA snapshot ("No virologic data") is not pre-defined as an endpoint and therefore not reported separately.

Title Percentage of Participants With Plasma HIV-1 RNA Greater Than or Equal to (>=) 50 c/mL at Month 6/5
Hide Description Percentage of participants with plasma HIV 1 RNA >= 50 c/mL at month 6 was assessed using the food and drug administration (FDA) snapshot algorithm. For the Q2M arm, data from the Q2M OLI participants at Month 6 visit and Q2M D2I participants at Month 5 visit were combined as the study objective was to demonstrate the non-inferior antiviral activity of (Q2M) (OLI+ D2I combined) compared to BIK. For BIK arm, data was collected at month 6 visit. Month 6/5 refers to the Month 6 (OLI and BIK) visit/Month 5 (DTI) visit. The FDA snapshot algorithm defines a participant's virologic response status using only the viral load at the predefined time point within a window of time (HIV-RNA equal to or above 50 copies/mL and HIV-RNA below 50 copies/mL), along with study drug discontinuation status. The third category of the FDA snapshot ("No virologic data") is not pre-defined as an endpoint and therefore not reported separately.

Title Change From Baseline in Total Treatment Satisfaction Score Using HIV Treatment Satisfaction Status Questionnaire (HIVTSQs)
Hide Description The HIVTSQs total treatment satisfaction score comprised of 11 items based on HIVTSQ questionnaire each graded on a scale of 0 (very dissatisfied) to 6 (very satisfied) which were summed to produce a total score range of 0-66. Higher scores represent greater treatment satisfaction. Baseline value is defined as latest pre-treatment assessment with a non-missing value, including those from unscheduled visits. Change from baseline is defined as post-dose visit value minus baseline value. For the Q2M arm, data from the Q2M OLI participants at Month 6 and 12 visit and Q2M D2I participants at Month 5 and 11 visit were combined as the study objective was to demonstrate the non-inferior antiviral activity of (Q2M) (OLI+ D2I combined) compared to BIK. For BIK arm, data was collected at month 6 and 12 visit. Month 6/5 refers to the Month 6 (OLI and BIK) visit/Month 5 (DTI) visit.
