Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Randomized Phase: Lenacapavir (LEN) Group

Participants will receive subcutaneous (SC) LEN 927 mg on Day 1 and Week 26 and oral LEN 600 mg on Days 1 and 2.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Lenacapavir Injection

Intervention Type DRUG

Administered subcutaneously

Lenacapavir Tablet

Intervention Type DRUG

Administered orally

Randomized Phase: Emtricitabine/ Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate (F/TDF) Group

Participants will receive daily F/TDF (200/300 mg) fixed dose combination (FDC) tablets for up to 52 weeks.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (F/TDF)

Intervention Type DRUG

Administered orally

Open-label Extension Phase: LEN

Participants randomized to LEN in the Randomized Phase who choose to participate in the LEN Open-Label Extension (OLE) Phase will receive SC LEN every 26 weeks (± 7 days) and have study visits every 13 weeks (± 7 days). Participants randomized to F/TDF in the Randomized Phase who choose to participate in LEN OLE Phase will switch to SC LEN and have study visits at LEN OLE Day 1, Week 4 (± 2 days), Week 13 (± 7 days), and every 13 weeks (± 7 days) thereafter. SC LEN will be administered at the LEN OLE Day 1 visit and every 26 weeks thereafter. These participants will also receive loading doses of oral LEN on OLE Days 1 and 2. Upon completion of the LEN OLE Phase, participants will transition to local HIV prevention services and return for a 30-day follow-up visit. At that time, participation in the study will end.

Pharmacokinetic (PK) Tail Phase: F/TDF

Participants eligible for the PK Tail Phase will receive open-label oral F/TDF once daily for up to 78 weeks and complete study visits every 13 weeks (± 7 days). PK Tail Day 1 visit will occur 26 weeks (± 7 days) after the last SC LEN injection.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Urine drug screen positive for any drug of misuse including, but not limited to, opioids (eg, fentanyl, heroin), stimulants (eg, cocaine, amphetamines), psychoactive drugs (eg, benzodiazepines), or a combination of these drugs.
* Evidence of recent injection (eg, track marks).
* 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 according to the Cockcroft-Gault formula for creatinine clearance (CLcr).

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 HIV infection is not confirmed.
* Coenrollment in any other interventional research study or other concurrent studies that may interfere with this study (as provided by self-report or other available documentation) without prior approval from the Medical Monitor/Joint Clinical Management Committee while participating in this study.
* Past or current participation in HIV vaccine or HIV broadly neutralizing antibody study unless individual provides documentation of receipt of placebo (ie, not active product).
* Prior use of long-acting systemic pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) (including cabotegravir (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).
