Study to Evaluate the Pharmacokinetics, Safety, and Antiviral Activity of the Elvitegravir/Cobicistat/Emtricitabine/Tenofovir Alafenamide (E/C/F/TAF) Single Tablet Regimen (STR) in HIV-1 Infected Antiretroviral Treatment-Naive Adolescents and Virologically Suppressed Children

United States, South Africa, Thailand129 participantsStarted 2013-05-06

Plain-language summary

The primary objectives of Cohort 1 are to evaluate the steady state pharmacokinetics (PK) for elvitegravir (EVG) and tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) and confirm the dose of the elvitegravir/cobicistat/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (E/C/F/TAF) STR (Part A) and to evaluate the safety and tolerability of E/C/F/TAF STR through Week 24 (Part B) in human immunodeficiency virus - 1 (HIV-1) infected, antiretroviral (ARV) treatment-naive adolescents. The primary objectives of Cohort 2 are to evaluate the PK of EVG and TAF (Part A), and to evaluate the safety and tolerability of E/C/F/TAF through Week 24 (Part B) in virologically suppressed HIV-1 infection children 6 to \< 12 years weighing \>= 25 kg. The primary objectives of Cohort 3 are to evaluate the PK of EVG and TAF and confirm the dose of the STR, and to evaluate the safety and tolerability of E/C/F/TAF low dose (LD) STR in virologically suppressed HIV-1 infected children ≥ 2 years of age and weighing ≥ 14 to \< 25 kg.

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
