About this study

Official title: A Phase IV Open-label Evaluation of Safety, Tolerability, and Acceptability of a Fixed-dose Formulation of Bictegravir, Emtricitabine/Tenofovir Alafenamide (B/F/TAF) for Non-occupational Prophylaxis Following Potential Exposure to HIV-1

Study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of once daily Biktarvy for 28 days for prevention of HIV infection in HIV-1-seronegative adults after high-risk sexual contact. (non-occupational post exposure prophylaxis - nPEP)

Read the detailed description

Non-randomized, open label single arm trial conducted at Fenway Health as a single site. 100 subjects will be enrolled following a high risk sexual exposure in which HIV exposure is a concern. Each person will be provided with detailed informed consent and if they agree, will receive a 28 day regimen of BIC/F/TAF (Biktary) in a single fixed-dose tablet. Subjects will be seen for 3 visits over a period of four months in which assessments will be done to evaluate safety of product, tolerability of product and HIV status. All subjects will be compared to historical controls in the previous one daily TDF-based nPEP studies which were conducted at Fenway Health.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. nPEP Failure

    HIV sero-conversion during study participation following high risk exposure that occured within 72 hours of study product initiation.

    Measured: 4 months active study participation

  2. Safety and Tolerability assessed as Adverse Events and Safety Lab Evaluation

    The following AEs will be evaluated: Diarrhea, Fatigue, Nausea/Vomiting, Headache, Dizziness, Body/Muscle/Joint pain

    Measured: 4 months active study participation

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Adherence and Acceptability assessed as study product completion rate

    Completion of Study Product as Prescribed; Stopped or Modified Study Product, Lost to Follow Up

    Measured: 4 months of active study participation or 28 days of study product use

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing bictegravir in people with HIV Prevention, run by Fenway Community Health at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 10 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Apr 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

nPEP Failure (time frame: 4 months active study participation). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03499483, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 7 Apr 2022.
