Study Summary

The goals of this clinical study are to look at how lenacapavir (LEN) passes through the body and to assess the safety of LEN and emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (F/TDF) for pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) in people who inject drugs (PWID) in the United States (US).

The primary objectives of this study are to characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) of LEN and to evaluate the safety of LEN and F/TDF for PrEP in US PWID.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Key Inclusion Criteria:

  • Urine drug screen positive for any drug of misuse including, but not limited to,opioids (eg, fentanyl, heroin), stimulants (eg, cocaine, amphetamines), psychoactivedrugs (eg, benzodiazepines), or a combination of these drugs.

  • Self-report of injection paraphernalia sharing in the prior 30 days.

  • Hepatitis B virus (HBV) surface antigen (HBsAg) negative.

  • Negative local rapid HIV-1/2 antibody (Ab)/antigen (Ag) test, central HIV-1/2 Ab/Ag,and HIV-1 RNA quantitative nucleic acid amplification testing (NAAT).

  • Estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) at least 60 mL/min at screening accordingto the Cockcroft-Gault formula for creatinine clearance (CLcr).

Exclusion

Key Exclusion Criteria:

  • Self-reported history of previous positive results on an HIV test.

  • Any reactive or positive HIV test result at screening or enrollment, even if HIVinfection is not confirmed.

  • Coenrollment in any other interventional research study or other concurrent studiesthat may interfere with this study (as provided by self-report or other availabledocumentation) without prior approval from the Medical Monitor/Joint ClinicalManagement Committee while participating in this study.

  • Past or current participation in HIV vaccine or HIV broadly neutralizing antibodystudy unless individual provides documentation of receipt of placebo (ie, not activeproduct).

  • Prior use of long-acting systemic pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) (includingcabotegravir (CAB) or islatravir studies).

  • Acute viral hepatitis A or acute or chronic hepatitis B or C infection.

  • Have a suspected or known active, serious infection(s) (eg, active tuberculosis,etc).

Note: Other protocol defined Inclusion/Exclusion criteria may apply.
