Brief summary

To establish a new treatment option for treatment-naïve participants with HIV-1, the efficacy and safety of doravirine will be determined relative to a protease inhibitor (PI). Participants will receive double-blind treatment during the 96-week Base Study. Eligible participants in either of the Base Study groups will continue to receive the doravirine-containing regimen open label for an additional 96 weeks in the Study Extension 1. Eligible participants who are deriving benefit will continue in Study Extension 2 to receive the doravirine-containing regimen open label until doravirine becomes locally available or for an additional 96 weeks, whichever comes first. The primary hypothesis is that doravirine 100 mg once a day (q.d.) is non-inferior to darunavir/ritonavir (800 mg/100 mg) q.d., each in combination with TRUVADA™ or EPZICOM™/KIVEXA™, as assessed by the proportion of participants with HIV-1 ribonucleic acid (RNA) \<50 copies/mL at Week 48. If non-inferiority is established, then the superiority of doravirine 100 mg q.d. compared to darunavir/ ritonavir (800 mg/100 mg) q.d. will be assessed.

Detailed description

Participants in Australia, Russia, and South Africa who are deriving benefit from MK-1439A are also eligible to continue receiving study drug during Study Extension 3, which will last for 2 years or until drug is available locally, whichever comes first.

Percentage of Participants With Any Adverse EventUp to 98 weeksAn adverse event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a study participant and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship to treatment. An adverse event can therefore be any unfavourable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the study treatment or protocol-specified procedure, whether or not considered related to study treatment or protocol-specified procedure. Any worsening of a preexisting condition that is temporally associated with the study treatment is also an AE. The percentage of participants with any AE was assessed.
