Background
Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) is included in most recommended
antiretroviral regimens, and although potent and generally well
tolerated, has been associated with clinically significant renal and bone
toxicity1-3
Relative to TDF 300 mg, tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) 25 mg has 90%
lower circulating plasma TFV, while maintaining high antiviral activity4
In Phase 2, efficacy of elvitegravir, cobicistat, emtricitabine, and TAF
(E/C/F/TAF) was comparable to E/C/F/TDF, and demonstrated
significant improvements in renal and bone safety5
We sought to confirm the efficacy of E/C/F/TAF in two fully powered
clinical trials

Conclusions
Studies 104 and 111: Week 48 Combined Analysis
92% of patients treated with E/C/F/TAF achieved virologic suppression
through Week 48 (combined analysis)
– Virologic response for E/C/F/TAF, 93% (Study 104) and 92% (Study 111)
– E/C/F/TAF was non-inferior to E/C/F/TDF
– High and similar response rates, irrespective of age, sex, race, HIV-1 RNA,
and CD4 cell count
Low rates of virologic failure, with resistance <1% in both arms
Both drugs were well tolerated and safe
─ Discontinuations due to AEs were low in both arms
─ 0.9% (8) for E/C/F/TAF vs 1.5% (13) for E/C/F/TDF
─ No proximal tubulopathy cases
─ Common AEs similar between treatment arms
