Study Summary

This is a phase 3, randomized, controlled, double-blind, multisite clinical study of a once-daily fixed dose combination (FDC) of 100 mg doravirine/0.75 mg islatravir (DOR/ISL \[also known as MK-8591A\]) in treatment-naïve participants living with human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1) infection. The primary objectives are to evaluate the antiretroviral activity, safety, and tolerability of DOR/ISL compared to bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (BIC/FTC/TAF). The primary hypothesis is that DOR/ISL is noninferior or superior to BIC/FTC/TAF treatment based on the percentage of participants with HIV-1 ribonucleic acid (RNA) \<50 copies/mL at Week 48.
