Verified September 2017
 
Purpose
 
This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, antiretroviral activity, and pharmacokinetics of 3 doses of MK-8591 in combination with doravirine (DOR) and lamivudine (3TC) administered to antiretroviral treatment-naïve adult participants with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection.
 
A Phase 2B, Randomized, Double-Blind, Active-Comparator-Controlled, Dose-Ranging Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Antiretroviral Activity, and Pharmacokinetics of MK-8591 Given in Combination With Doravirine (DOR) and Lamivudine (3TC) in HIV-1-Infected Treatment-Naïve Adults
 
Estimated Enrollment:
120
Anticipated Study Start Date:
 
November 13, 2017
 
Participants will be treated once daily (QD) with 0.25 mg MK-8591, 100 mg DOR, 300 mg 3TC, and placebo to MK- 1439A for a minimum of 24 weeks. Between week 24 through week 52, 3TC and placebo to MK-1439A may be discontinued. Around Week 60, participants may be switched to a selected open label dose of MK-8591 and DOR 100 mg QD and continue treatment until Week 120.
