PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Assessed every 2 weeks during the dosing periods and at steady-state, week 12 for the first dosing period and week 36 for the second dosing period.

Population: The total number of participants was 48. Each participant was randomized to 2 of 3 dosing regimens for a total of 32 participants each, however 2 participants completed only the first regimen.

TFV-DP concentrations in DBS respective to dosing regimens of 33%, 67%, 100% of daily dosing.

Overall, the study showed an unremarkable and expected AE profile. At study initiation Truvada was FDA approved for daily dosing (100% daily dosing). Thus, the AE profile was already established for 100% dosing and AE rates in the lower doses (33% and 67%) would not exceed the established rate for daily dosing (100%). This study was not designed to collect new safety data or to update the established AE/Safety profiles for Truvada. Therefore AE data was combined for all dosing regimens since AEs reported per arm/group are not meaningful for research or clinical applications.
