Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To evaluate efficacy of switching from EFV/TDF/FTC either QD and on alternate days (ATAD) to BIC/TAF/FTC 48 weeks after switch in total population and comparing patients switching from EFV/TDF/FTC QD vs ATAD.;Secondary Objective: To evaluate, in total population, the following parameters: •safety •change in immunological recovery compared to baseline (BL) •change in lipid profile compared to BL •change in neurocognitive performance compared to BL Comparing patients switching from EFV/TDF/FTC QD vs ATAD. To evaluate in 3 subgroups (80 patients each) the following substudies: • 1st subgroup: to evaluate adherence and quality of life (self-reported questionnaires) (80 patients:40 patients switching from EFV/TDF/FTC QD and 40 switching from EFV/TDF/FTC ATAD) • 2nd subgroup: to evaluate bictegravir pharmakocinetic (80 patients) • 3rd subgroup: to evaluate the change of renal function, bone mineral density and bone turn-over markers from baseline (80 patients:40 patients switching from EFV/TDF/FTC QD and 40 switching from EFV/TDF/FTC ATAD).;Primary end point(s): • Number of patients with HIV RNA <50 copies / mL at week 24 (FDA snapshot analysis);Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: week 24

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): • Number of patients with viral rebound (HIV-RNA> 50 cp / mL in two consecutive samples); • Number of patients who discontinue treatment for any cause; • Number of patients discontinuing toxicity treatment; • WHO 3-4 degree of toxicity at any time; • Changes from baseline in the number of CD4 T-cells in peripheral blood (absolute number and%) at each visit; • Changes to the eGFR baseline (at any time); • Changes to the baseline of the lipid profile (total cholesterol, HDL and LDL, triglycerides, total cholesterol / HDL and LDL / HDL ratio) at each visit; • Changes to the baseline of neurocognitive functions (neurocognitive assessment NPZ-12) at week 48 and in patients with neuropsychiatric symptoms (self-reported neuropsychiatric symptom questionnaire, Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index, Beck Depression Inventory, Beck Anxiety Inventory) at week 48.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: • At each visit -> Number of patients presenting with viral rebound; • At each visit -> Number of patients who discontinue treatment for any reason; • At each visit -> Number of patients discontinuing toxicity treatment; • At each visit -> WHO 3-4 degree of toxicity at any time; • At each visit -> Changes from baseline in the number of CD4 T-cells in peripheral blood; • At any time -> Changes to the eGFR baseline; • At each visit -> Changes to the baseline of the lipid profile at each visit; • Week 48 -> Changes to the baseline of neurocognitive functions and in patients with neuropsychiatric symptoms.
