Brief Summary

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

The goal of this clinical study is to learn more about the study drug, Bictegravir/Emtricitabine/Tenofovir Alafenamide (B/F/TAF), safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (how B/F/TAF is absorbed, modified, distributed, and removed from the body of the participants) in neonates exposed to human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1).

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and plasma pharmacokinetics (PK) (how B/F/TAF is absorbed, modified, distributed, and removed from the body of the participants) of B/F/TAF tablet for oral suspension (TOS) in full-term neonates exposed to HIV-1 but uninfected.

Study Groups

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

Cohort 1: Group A of B/F/TAF

Full-term neonate participants, who are exposed to HIV-1 but uninfected, with a weight of ≥ 2.5 kg at birth and their mothers will be assigned to Cohort 1 Group A to evaluate a different pharmacokinetic (PK) sampling scheme than Cohort 1 Group B.

Neonate participants will receive a single dose of B/F/TAF fixed-dose combination 1.88/7.5/0.94 mg tablet for oral suspension administered along with 1 antiretroviral as standard of care postnatal prophylaxis at both Visits 1 and 3.

Cohort 1: Group B of B/F/TAF

Once enrollment in Cohort 1 Group A is completed, full-term neonate participants, who are exposed to HIV-1 but uninfected, with a weight of ≥ 2.5 kg at birth and their mothers will be assigned to Cohort 1 Group B to evaluate a different PK sampling scheme than Cohort 1 Group A.

Participants will receive a single dose of B/F/TAF fixed-dose combination 1.88/7.5/0.94 mg tablet for oral suspension administered along with 1 antiretroviral as standard of care postnatal prophylaxis at both Visits 1 and 3.

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

Inclusion Criteria

* Be on standard of care (SOC) antiretroviral therapy for human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) treatment.
* Have confirmed HIV-1 infection based on positive test results obtained from medical records.


* Be born at term (≥ 37.0 weeks gestational age).
* Be able to take oral medication.
* Be ≤ 120 hours of life at enrollment.
* Have a birth weight ≥ 2.5 kg.
* Is receiving or plans to receive HIV-1 SOC prophylaxis regimen with 1 antiretroviral (ARV) to prevent perinatal transmission.

Exclusion Criteria

* Has a maternal-fetal blood group incompatibility identified by clinically relevant antibody that can cause hemolytic diseases of the neonate.
* Is breastfeeding or plans to breastfeed while on bictegravir (BIC) or emtricitabine (FTC) containing regimen. Mothers on BIC or FTC containing regimen, but not breastfeeding, can be enrolled in the study.


* Had prior or expected to require blood exchange transfusion.
