Overview

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.

Eligibility

Key Inclusion Criteria:

Mother inclusion criteria:

  • 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.

Key Exclusion Criteria:

Mother exclusion criteria:

  • Has a maternal-fetal blood group incompatibility identified by clinically relevant antibody that can cause hemolytic diseases of the neonate.
