ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryPercentage of Participants Achieving Plasma HIV-1 RNA <50 Copies/mL at Week 48Week 48
The percentage of participants in each arm achieving HIV-1 RNA levels \<50 copies/mL at Week 48 was determined. Plasma HIV-1 RNA levels were quantified with the Abbott RealTime HIV-1 Assay. Data were handled according to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) "snapshot" approach and all missing data were considered treatment failures, regardless of the reason.
SecondaryPercentage of Participants Achieving Plasma HIV-1 RNA <50 Copies/mL at Week 96Week 96
The percentage of participants in each arm achieving HIV-1 RNA levels \<50 copies/mL at Week 96 was determined. Plasma HIV-1 RNA levels were quantified with the Abbott RealTime HIV-1 Assay. Data were handled according to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) "snapshot" approach and all missing data were considered treatment failures, regardless of the reason.
SecondaryChange From Baseline in Mean CD4+ T-cell Count at Week 48Baseline and Week 48CD4+ T-cell counts were quantified by a central laboratory using a commercially available assay.
SecondaryChange From Baseline in Mean CD4+ T-cell Count at Week 96Baseline and Week 96CD4+ T-cell counts were quantified by a central laboratory using a commercially available assay.
SecondaryMean Change From Baseline in Fasting Low Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL-C) at Week 48Baseline and Week 48
Serum LDL-C was determined after an overnight fast. Change from Baseline was analyzed using ANCOVA models with terms for Baseline lipid level and treatment group. The Last Observation Carry Forward (LOCF) approach was applied for missing data or data collected after modifying lipid-lowering therapy.
SecondaryMean Change From Baseline in Fasting Non-High Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (Non-HDL-C) at Week 48Baseline and Week 48
Serum non-HDL-C was determined after an overnight fast. Change from Baseline was analyzed using ANCOVA models with terms for Baseline lipid level and treatment group. The LOCF approach was applied for missing data or data collected after modifying lipid-lowering therapy.
SecondaryMean Change From Baseline in Fasting High Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (HDL-C) at Week 48Baseline and Week 48
Serum HDL-C was determined after an overnight fast. Change from Baseline was analyzed using ANCOVA models with terms for Baseline lipid level and treatment group. The LOCF approach was applied for missing data or data collected after modifying lipid-lowering therapy.
SecondaryMean Change From Baseline in Fasting Total Cholesterol at Week 48Baseline and Week 48
Serum total cholesterol was determined after an overnight fast. Change from Baseline was analyzed using ANCOVA models with terms for Baseline lipid level and treatment group. The LOCF approach was applied for missing data or data collected after modifying lipid-lowering therapy.
SecondaryMean Change From Baseline in Fasting Triglyceride at Week 48Baseline and Week 48
Serum triglyceride was determined after an overnight fast. Change from Baseline was analyzed using ANCOVA models with terms for Baseline lipid level and treatment group. The LOCF approach was applied for missing data or data collected after modifying lipid-lowering therapy.
SecondaryPercentage of Participants With Any Adverse EventUp to 98 weeks
An 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.
