Switch to Bictegravir/Emtricitabine/Tenofovir Alafenamide After Renal Transplant

• Status: Recruiting
• Trial end date: 2022-12-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

This is an open-label study, where participants will be switched from their current HIV medication to the study drug, Biktarvy. Open-label means both the investigator and the participant will know what drug will be given. Participants will be followed for 48 weeks in order to monitor the efficacy, safety and tolerability of Biktarvy. The investigator hypothesizes that Biktarvy will be an important addition to the management of HIV-positive post renal transplant patients, especially since it is a one pill daily dosing regimen, thereby decreasing the pill burden in this population.
