Week 48 visit, subjects will stop study drug and complete a 30-Day 
Follow-up visit to complete their participation in the study.
For all subjects, HBV and HCV serologies will be analyzed at 
Screening. Adverse events, concomitant medications, complete or 
symptom-directed physical examinations, laboratory analyses 
(hematology and chemistry), fasting lipids and glucose, 
HIV-1 RNA, CD4+ T cell count and estimated GFR will be 
performed at the Screening, Day 1, and all subsequent study visits.
Pre-dose blood draw for plasma and PBMC samples will be 
collected from all subjects at Week 4 or Week 12, which must be 
the day of hemodialysis. 
All subjects who provide consent will be eligible to participate in 
the pharmacokinetic sub-study (target n = 15).
Test Product, Dose, and 
Mode of Administration:
FDC of elvitegravir 150 mg / cobicistat 150 mg /
emtricitabine 200 mg / tenofovir alafenamide 10 mg administered

N/A
Criteria for Evaluation:
Safety:
Safety evaluations will include reporting of adverse events, clinical 
laboratory tests, physical examinations, and vital signs. 
An Independent Data Monitoring Committee (IDMC) will be 
convened after the first 25 subjects enrolled in the study complete 
Week 12 of the study. 
Efficacy:
Virologic response will be determined using the percentages of
subjects with HIV-1 RNA < 50 copies/mL at Week 24 and 48
(snapshot analysis).
Pharmacokinetics:
At Week 4 or Week 12, on the day of hemodialysis, pre-dose 
(within 30 minutes prior to study drug administration) blood draws
for plasma and PBMC samples will be collected from all subjects. 
Study drug administration will be observed. Plasma concentrations 
of EVG, COBI, FTC, TAF and TFV and intracellular 
concentrations of TFV-DP may be explored.
Pharmacokinetic (PK) Sub-study
All subjects who provide consent will be eligible to participate in 
the PK sub-study (target n = 15). For the PK sub-study, intense 
blood sampling will be conducted at or between Week 2 or Week 4
study visits, on a day prior to the day of hemodialysis and when the 
subject has administered three doses of E/C/F/TAF between 
two hemodialysis sessions. The PK of EVG, COBI, FTC, TAF and 
TFV will be evaluated. Study drug administration will be observed 
in-clinic at the sub-study visit. 
Health Related 
Questionnaires:
SF-36, VAS (visual analogues scale), HIV-TSQ (HIV Treatment
Satisfaction Questionnaire) and Health Utilization Questionnaire 
will be administered per the information provided in the study 
procedures section of this protocol.
Statistical Methods:
The primary endpoint will be the incidence of treatment-emergent 
Grade 3 or higher adverse events at Week 48.
The proportions of subjects with virologic response (HIV-1 RNA 
< 50 copies/mL, snapshot analysis) and the associated 
95% confidence intervals at Weeks 24 and 48, respectively will be 
constructed.

Concentrations and PK parameters of EVG, COBI, FTC, TAF and 
TFV for the sub-study, and intracellular PBMC concentrations of 
TFV-DP will be summarized using descriptive statistics 
[N, mean, standard deviation, percent coefficient of variation (%CV),
median, minimum, and maximum].
A sample size of approximately 50 subjects is based on practical 
consideration and is considered to be sufficient to evaluate the 
primary objective of this study. The grade 3 or higher AE rate in 
Study GS-US-292-0112 in subjects that had mild to moderate renal 
impairment was 8.8% at Week 48 for the E/C/F/TAF arm. 
Therefore, with 50 subjects, and an assumed rate of Grade 3 or 
higher AEs being 10%, this study would provide 95% confidence 
for the primary endpoint to be (1.7%, 18.3%) assuming normal 
approximation to binomial proportions. 
A sample size of at least 15 subjects is considered for estimating 
the PK parameters in the sub-study for practical reasons. 
This study will be conducted in accordance with the guidelines of Good Clinical Practice (GCP) 
including archiving of essential documents.

INTRODUCTION
1.1.
Background
Human immunodeficiency virus-1 infection is a life-threatening and serious disease of major 
public health significance, with approximately 34 million people infected with HIV worldwide 
{19661}. The goals of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) for HIV-1 infection are to 
delay disease progression and prolong survival by achieving maximal and durable suppression of 
HIV-1 replication. Prompt antiretroviral therapy (ART) initiation after diagnosis is based on 
growing evidence that untreated HIV infection or uncontrolled viremia is associated with 
development of non- acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS)-defining diseases, including 
cardiovascular disease (CVD), kidney disease, liver disease, neurologic complications, and 
malignancies. The success of ART has shifted clinical attention towards regimens that optimize 
long-term adherence, tolerability and safety. Adherence to ART is required to prevent 
development of drug resistance and subsequent loss of virologic suppression, and adherence to 
ART is improved by reducing pill burden and dosing frequency {4266}, {4256}. Once-daily, 
single tablet regimens are associated with high adherence, better clinical outcomes, including 
fewer hospitalizations, improved patient satisfaction, and excellent virologic outcomes {7034}, 
{7035}, {7036}, {16557}, {16560}.
Despite current therapy that effectively suppresses viremia, HIV disease remains a serious 
condition due to non-AIDS associated comorbidities. As treatment guidelines recommend early 
treatment of HIV-1 infection, there is a need for regimens offering enhanced product safety and 
tolerability, effectiveness, and convenience for long-term treatment.
Though antiretroviral drugs have led to dramatic improvements in survival and disease 
progression, complications such as kidney, liver, and cardiac disease have become increasingly 
important causes of morbidity and mortality for HIV patients taking effective therapy {19947}, 
{19948}, {22552}. Recent data has shown that even with treatment, HIV patients experience more 
age-related co-morbidities, such as renal and bone disease, which manifest earlier than their 
age-matched HIV-uninfected peers {19946}. Moreover, the prevalence and incidence of chronic 
kidney disease (CKD) and end stage renal disease (ESRD) in the US are expected to rise as the 
prevalence of HIV infection continues to rise {22553}. Worldwide, prevalence may be even
greater; one cross-sectional study in the East African Republic of Burundi reported 
46% of HIV-positive adults fulfilled criteria for CKD {22551}.
Patients with HIV are at risk for acute and chronic kidney disease from a wide spectrum of 
etiologies, including HIV-associated nephropathy, immune complex kidney disease, thrombotic 
microangiopathy, and kidney disease associated with comorbidities such as diabetes, 
hypertension, hepatitis B and hepatitis C coinfections, as well as medications associated with 
nephrotoxicity. Clearly, new therapies that improve on the current standard of care are needed, 
so that life-long antiviral therapy is more effective, more tolerable, and safer for patients. 
Since the majority of currently available nucleos(t)ide backbones are prescribed as fixed dose 
combinations, HIV-positive patients with chronic kidney disease have particularly limited 
therapeutic options.

The availability of a single tablet regimen composed of potent agents with improved tolerability 
and long-term safety, that does not require dose adjustment at eGFR < 50 mL/min, would 
represent an important therapeutic innovation in this special patient population, providing more 
convenient dosing and potentially improving patient adherence.
Tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) has a unique metabolism that provides enhanced lymphatic 
delivery of tenofovir, resulting in higher intracellular levels of the active phosphorylated 
metabolite, tenofovir-diphosphate (TFV-DP), and lower circulating levels of TFV {7415}, 
{13119}, {22029}. The distinct metabolism of TAF offers an improved clinical profile compared 
with TDF, which is associated with nephrotoxicity and decreased bone mineral density {21762}, 
{22031}. Compared with TDF, TAF is characterized by lower systemic exposures and higher 
intracellular levels of TFV. Additionally, TFV exposures achieved with TAF in subjects with 
severe renal impairment are comparable to those with normal renal functions receiving 
TDF 300 mg, indicating that TAF can be administered to HIV-1 infected patients with renal 
impairment without dose modification.

Tenofovir Alafenamide (TAF, GS-7340)
1.2.1.
General Information
Tenofovir alafenamide (GS-7340, TAF, or L-alanine, N-[(S)-[[(1R)-2-(6-amino-9H-purin-9-yl)-
1-methylethoxy]methyl]/phenoxyphosphinyl]-, 1-methylethyl ester) is an prodrug of TFV, 
a nucleotide analog that inhibits HIV-1 reverse transcription. TFV is metabolized intracellularly 
to the active metabolite, TFV-DP, a competitive inhibitor of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (RT) 
that terminates the elongation of the viral deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) chain. In the 
development of TAF, three forms of the drug substance have been used in various studies: 
GS-7340, synonym for GS-7340 as the free base; GS-7340-02, synonym for TAF monofumarate 
(1:1) molar ratio of TAF to fumaric acid; and GS-7340-03 as the hemifumarate (2:1) molar ratio 
of TAF to fumaric acid. GS-7340-03, also known as TAF fumarate, is considered comparable 
based on physical/chemical properties to GS-7340-02 that has been used in previous studies. 
GS-7340-03 and GS-7340-02 exist as the free base, TAF (GS-7340), in blood and biological 
fluids. 
1.2.2.
Preclinical Pharmacology and Toxicology
1.2.2.1.
Primary Pharmacodynamics
Tenofovir alafenamide is metabolized to TFV, a nucleotide analog (ie, a nucleoside 
monophosphate analog) which is not dependent on an intracellular nucleoside kinase activity 
for the first step in the conversion to the active metabolite, TFV-DP. The cellular enzymes 
responsible for TFV metabolism to the active diphosphorylated form are adenylate kinase (AK) 
{4887} and nucleotide diphosphate kinase, which are highly active and ubiquitous. AK exists as 
multiple isozymes (AK1 to AK4), with the phosphorylation of TFV mediated most efficiently by 
AK2.

The intracellular metabolism of TAF and TFV are consistent with the 600-fold enhancement in 
anti-HIV activity in cell culture of TAF over TFV. Metabolism of TAF was also studied in 
different human blood lymphocyte subpopulations, CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, natural killer (NK) 
cells, B-cells and macrophages/monocytes. TAF is metabolized inside host cells to the active 
metabolite TFV-DP. Concentration of the active metabolite TFV-DP was substantial in all 
cell populations.
1.2.2.2.
Safety Pharmacology
Single doses of TAF did not induce pharmacologic effects on the central nervous system of the 
rat (1000 mg/kg), the renal system of the rat (1000 mg/kg), or the cardiovascular system of the 
dog (100 mg/kg).
1.2.3.
Nonclinical Pharmacokinetics
All nonclinical PK experiments were performed using TAF monofumarate (GS-7340-02), and all 
study data described in this section reflect the dosage of the monofumarate. For reference, 
100 mg of TAF monofumarate is equivalent to 80 mg of the GS-7340 free base (TAF).
Key results from nonclinical absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion studies of TAF 
are as follows: 

Following oral administration in dogs and monkeys, TAF demonstrated rapid absorption, 
with peak plasma concentrations between 0.25 and 0.5 hours. Thereafter, TAF plasma 
concentrations declined rapidly with a terminal half-life of less than 1 hour. 
Tenofovir alafenamide exposure (Cmax and AUC values) was nonlinear with dose and greater 
than expected with increasing dose. Repeat-dose studies in rats and monkeys showed no 
change in pharmacokinetics over time. 

Peak TFV plasma concentrations occurred following TAF absorption, with TFV Tmax values 
between 0.25 to 1.7 hours in rats, dogs, and monkeys. 

Following oral administration of [14C]-radiolabeled TAF to dogs, a mean total recovery of 
radioactivity at 24 hours of 63% was demonstrated. Radioactivity was detected in all tissues 
except brain with the majority present in the contents of the gastrointestinal tract, liver, 
kidney, and large intestine. Tissue concentrations were the highest in kidney, peripheral 
blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), liver, large intestine, and bile. Additional studies in dogs, 
TFV concentrations in PBMCs following oral administration of TAF were approximately 
50-fold greater than observed in plasma, with an estimated t½ of greater than 24 hours. 

The major route of elimination of TAF-related radioactivity was via feces, with 
approximately 35% of the dose recovered in feces through 48 hours postdose. The primary 
route of elimination of TFV is renal excretion of unchanged drug based on IV studies of 
TFV.


Tenofovir alafenamide has been found to be a substrate for intestinal efflux transport and in 
nonclinical studies its intestinal absorption was increased by the transport inhibitor 
cyclosporin A. 

No significant inhibition of human drug metabolizing cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes, 
uridine diphosphate glucuronyltransferase (UGT) 1A1 or transporters including 
P-glycoprotein, breast cancer resistance protein, organic anion-transporting polypeptide 
(OATP)1B1 and OATP1B3 was observed with TAF in vitro. 

Tenofovir alafenamide did not activate human pregnane X receptor (hPXR) or 
aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR).

Tenofovir alafenamide was not a substrate for drug-metabolizing CYP enzymes except for 
CYP3A4, which metabolized the compound slowly. 
1.2.4.
Nonclinical Toxicology
Key results from nonclinical toxicology studies of TAF are as follows:

Based on TFV exposure, the no observed adverse effect levels (NOAELs) in the 6-month rat, 
9-month dog, and 1-month monkey studies provide 14-, 4-, and 22-fold safety margins, 
respectively, for a human dose of 25 mg/day.

In chronic studies in rats, bone (atrophy of metaphyseal cancellous bone) and kidneys 
(karyomegaly) were the primary target organs after 26 weeks of treatment with TAF 
100 mg/kg/day; however, effects were not seen at lower doses. Tenofovir alafenamide also 
appeared to increase biochemical markers of bone turnover and decrease serum 
1,25-dihydroxy- and 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 at doses of 25 mg/kg/day and above.

In chronic studies in dogs after 9 months of treatment at doses up to TAF 18/12 mg/kg/day 
(the high dose was reduced from 18 to 12 mg/kg/day due to the occurrence of death, severe 
clinical signs and reduced body weight), the primary target organs were kidney 
(slight to moderate renal tubular degeneration and karyomegaly) and bone 
(decreased bone mineral density [BMD] in metaphyseal cancellous bone). 

Tenofovir alafenamide had no discernable electrocardiograph effect at the low dose of 
2 mg/kg/day. There was some evidence at 6 and 18/12 mg/kg/day for an effect to slightly 
prolong PR intervals. 

After 9 months of treatment, some dogs administered the highest dose of TAF 
(18/12 mg/kg/day) had minimal mononuclear cell infiltration in the posterior uvea, 
considered secondary to general debilitation; this finding did not occur in animals given 
lower doses and it has not occurred in other animal studies.

mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) content in the liver, kidney, and skeletal muscle, and 
characterization of lymphocyte populations.

Tenofovir alafenamide was not genotoxic in either in vitro or in vivo assays. 
Tenofovir alafenamide had no adverse effects on male or female fertility parameters in rats. 
There was no effect on fetal viability or fetal development in pregnant rats administered 
doses of TAF up to 250 mg/kg/day or in pregnant rabbits administered TAF up to

Clinical Trials of Elvitegravir/Cobicistat/Emtricitabine/Tenofovir Alafenamide
(E/C/F/TAF)
Emtricitabine and TAF have been combined with the integrase inhibitor EVG and its 
pharmacoenhancer COBI in the E/C/F/TAF FDC, which has been designed to be a complete 
treatment regimen for HIV-1 infection and is being evaluated in a broad clinical development 
program. The details of the key clinical studies are provided below:

GS-US-292-0102, a randomized, double-blinded controlled Phase 2 study in which 
E/C/F/TAF is compared to Stribild® (STB), as initial treatment of HIV-infection in 
ART-naive patients. This is a single-variable clinical comparison of the 2 tenofovir prodrugs, 
TAF and TDF 

GS-US-292-0104 and GS-US-292-0111, Phase 3 randomized, double-blinded studies of the 
safety and efficacy of E/C/F/TAF versus E/C/F/TDF in HIV-1 infected, antiretroviral 
treatment-naive adults. The interim Week 48 key conclusions from pooled data are as 
follows: 1) E/C/F/TAF once daily was noninferior to STB once daily when administered
for 48 weeks to HIV-infected, ART-naive adults, as assessed using the US
Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-defined snapshot algorithm with HIV-1 RNA
< 50 copies/mL (E/C/F/TAF 92.4%; STB 90.4%; difference in percentages: 2.0%, 
95% CI: −0.7% to 4.7%), 2) administration of E/C/F/TAF resulted in > 90% lower plasma 
TFV and higher intracellular TFV-DP relative to STB, 3) E/C/F/TAF showed an improved 
renal and bone safety profile with significantly less decline in hip and spine BMD, less 
increase in serum creatinine and reduction in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), 
4) Increases from baseline in fasting total cholesterol fasting low density lipoprotein (LDL) 
cholesterol, and fasting triglycerides were noted in the E/C/F/TAF group;


GS-US-292-0112, a Phase 3 open-label safety study of E/C/F/TAF in HIV-1 positive patients 
with mild to moderate renal impairment; Week 48 results demonstrated that patients who 
switched to E/C/F/TAF had no change in eGFR, and had significant improvements in 
measures of renal function including proteinuria, albuminuria, retinol binding protein and 
beta-2-microglobulin. These subjects also had improvements in measures of bone mineral 
density. Importantly, because FTC was given without dose adjustment to patients with 
eGFR 30-50 mL/min, these patients had comparable safety profile to patients with 
eGFR 50-69 mL/min, with no increased rate of potential FTC related drug reactions, 
supporting the safety of FTC at higher exposures. In addition, 92% of study participants 
maintained virologic suppression (HIV-1 RNA < 50 copies/ml) at Week 48 after switching to 
E/C/F/TAF.

GS-US-292-0109, a Phase 3 study designed to evaluate the safety, efficacy, and tolerability 
of switching to E/C/F/TAF in individuals who are virologically suppressed on regimens 
containing TDF. The interim Week 48 key conclusions from this study are as follows: 
1) switching to E/C/F/TAF was noninferior to maintaining FTC/TDF+3rd Agent 
(STB, efavirenz/emtricitabine/tenofovir DF (ATR), atazanavir (ATV)/boosted+Truvada®) as 
assessed using the FDA snapshot algorithm (Week 48 FAS) with HIV-1 RNA cutoff at 
50 copies/mL (E/C/F/TAF 95.6%; FTC/TDF+3rd Agent 92.9%; difference in percentages: 
2.7%, 95.01% CI: −0.3% to 5.6%), 2) An improved renal and bone safety profile was 
observed in subjects who switched to E/C/F/TAF, 3) there were no differences in ocular 
findings between treatment groups and no reported cases of uveitis.
1.3.
Rationale for This Study
Because of the increasing average age of HIV-infected patients, the high prevalence of chronic 
kidney disease, and the increasing prevalence of co-morbid conditions that require medical 
management, medical regimens in ESRD patients are complex and can impact a patient’s overall 
risk of morbidity and mortality. The availability of a single-tablet regimen composed of potent 
agents with improved tolerability and long-term safety that does not require dose adjustment at 
eGFR < 15 mL/min, would represent an important therapeutic innovation for HIV infected
patients with ESRD. EVG, COBI, and TAF are not renally eliminated, while the metabolite of 
TAF (TFV) and FTC, are renally eliminated. 
The E/C/F/TAF FDC was recently shown to be safe and efficacious in HIV-infected patients 
with mild to moderate chronic kidney disease (CKD; eGFR 30-69 mL/min) in study 
GS-US-292-0112 through 48 weeks. The long-term safety of E/C/F/TAF remains to be 
established in subjects at more advanced stages of renal impairment, including those with ESRD 
on hemodialysis. The present study will provide the pharmacokinetic data describing TFV and 
FTC exposures in these patients when administered as the E/C/F/TAF FDC, dosed once daily, as 
well as safety and efficacy data in this special population through 48 weeks.

1.3.1.
Rationale for Dose Selection
The E/C/F/TDF FDC containing EVG (150 mg), COBI (150 mg), FTC (200 mg), and TAF (10 mg),
is currently under review for use once daily for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus 
type 1 (HIV-1) infection in adults and pediatric patients 12 years of age and older without any 
known resistance to the individual components and with an eGFR ≥ 30 mL/min. This FDC 
contains the equivalent doses of EVG and COBI in the marketed product, Stribild®. The FTC 
(200 mg) in the E/C/F/TAF FDC represents the marketed dose in several approved FDC 
products: emtricitabine/tenofovir DF, efavirenz/emtricitabine/tenofovir DF, and 
emtricitabine/rilpivirine/tenofovir DF for the treatment of HIV-1 infection.
EVG, COBI, and TAF are not renally eliminated, while the metabolite of TAF (TFV) and FTC, 
are renally eliminated. 
TAF and TFV
The Phase 3 study GS-US-292-0112 demonstrated that patients with moderate renal impairment 
(baseline eGFR 30-50 mL/min) who switched to E/C/F/TAF had no change in eGFR, and had 
significant improvements in measures of renal function including proteinuria, albuminuria, 
retinol binding protein and beta-2-microglobulin. These subjects also had improvements in 
measures of bone mineral density. TAF PK in subjects with screening eGFR 30-69 mL/min was 
consistent with data following administration of E/C/F/TAF in nonrenally-impaired 
HIV-infected subjects in Phase 2 and Phase 3 studies. 
Data from GS-US-120-0108 demonstrated that in HIV uninfected subjects with an eGFR of 
15-29 mL/min, plasma TAF exposures increased < 2-fold. Study GS-US-292-1825 will evaluate 
TAF (as well as TFV and FTC) PK in the setting of daily administration of E/C/F/TAF STR in 
treatment-experienced subjects with eGFR < 15 mL/min on chronic hemodialysis.
To support TAF dosing in ESRD patients, simulation for TFV exposures was conducted using an 
established population pharmacokinetic model for TFV following administration of E/C/F/TAF 
and with information from previously conducted Gilead Study (GS-01-919) where TDF was 
administered in ESRD subjects (Figure 1-1).

Predicted Steady-State TFV PK Profile After Administration of 
E/C/F/TAF in ESRD Subjects on Chronic Hemodialysis
Figure 1-1 shows the simulated TFV PK profile following E/C/F/TAF once-daily for two weeks in subjects with ESRD on 
chronic hemodialysis three-times per week. IPRED represents the model predicted plasma concentration of TFV. The double 
blue arrows represent a four-hour hemodialysis session.
In subjects with ESRD on chronic hemodialysis three-times per week, systemic TFV exposures 
are expected to be higher following administration of E/C/F/TAF, relative to E/C/F/TAF in 
subjects with eGFR > 30 mL/min, due to the renal elimination pathway for TFV. In subjects with 
ESRD on chronic hemodialysis, E/C/F/TAF administered once daily is predicted to result in a 
mean (% CV) TFV exposure of 3610 (21.6) h•ng/mL. Given the extensive safety data available 
for TDF, TFV exposures follow administration of E/C/F/TAF in ESRD subjects on chronic 
hemodialysis are expected to be in the range of those following TDF-containing regimens in 
patients with normal renal function (Table 1-1) and, as such, would not require TAF dose 
modification.

FTC
The FTC dose (200 mg) in the E/C/F/TAF FDC represents the marketed dose as part of the 
approved products FTC (Emtriva®), FTC/TDF (Truvada®), efavirenz/FTC/TDF (Atripla®), 
FTC/rilpivirine/TDF (Complera® or Eviplera®), and E/C/F/TDF (Stribild®) for the treatment of 
HIV-1 infection. Emtricitabine is principally eliminated by the kidney and higher exposures are 
observed in patients with moderate to severe renal impairment. For eGFR of 30-49 mL/min, 
Emtriva prescribing information recommends dose interval adjustment of the 200 mg oral 
capsule to q48h. However, available clinical experience suggests the plasma FTC may not 
require dose adjustment in the setting of renal impairment. In study GS-US-292-0112, FTC was 
given without dose adjustment to patients with eGFR 30-50 mL/min, and these patients had 
comparable safety profile to patients with eGFR 50-69 mL/min, with no increased rate of 
potential FTC related drug reactions, supporting the safety of FTC at higher exposures. 
In Study FTC-107, an open-label, parallel-group study of single-dose emtricitabine 200 mg in 
HIV uninfected subjects with varying degrees of renal impairment, 6 subjects with moderate 
renal impairment (30-49 mL/min), 5 subjects with severe renal impairment (< 30 mL/min) and 
6 subjects on dialysis were treated. Of note, subjects with baseline eGFR of 30-49 mL/min had

only twice the mean FTC systemic exposure (mean (%CV) AUCinf: 25.08 hr•μg/mL (23)) 
compared to subjects with eGFR > 80 mL/min (mean (%CV) AUCinf: 11.78 (25) hr•μg/mL. 
Subjects on dialysis had an AUCinf of 53.22 hr•μg/mL (19). In all cohorts, the overall incidence 
of adverse events was low and there was no apparent relationship between the incidence of AEs 
and the degree of renal impairment. 
In study GS-US-104-0235, the safety and tolerability of FTC+TDF (200/300 mg) in 
treatment-naïve and treatment-experienced HIV infected subjects with various degrees of renal 
impairment were assessed. One subject in this study assigned to the mild impairment group was 
later found to have moderate impairment (eGFR ≥30 and < 50 mL/min) and one subject 
assigned to moderate impairment was found to have severe impairment (eGFR < 30 mL/min) 
after 40 days of treatment. Based on PK analyses of these subjects, the subject with moderate 
renal impairment was continued on FTC 200 mg daily because FTC exposures remained within 
the predicted range for subjects without renal impairment and the subject with severe renal 
impairment continued to receive FTC 200 mg every 48 hours based upon appropriate FTC 
systemic exposures. 
Consistent with the renal impairment Study FTC-107 described above, results from the PK 
sub-study of GS-US-292-0112 (n = 30) showed that FTC exposure was slightly higher in 
subjects with mild to moderate renal impairment as compared with historical data on FTC in 
subjects with normal renal function (mean [%CV] FTC AUCtau 20968.6 [25.5] ng•h/mL versus 
11,714.1 [16.6] ng•h/mL in Phase 2 Study GS-US-292-0102 of non-renally-impaired 
HIV-infected subjects), as expected due to the renal elimination of FTC. Further population PK 
analysis on all subjects treated in Study GS-US-292-0112 with available FTC data (n = 241), 
confirmed the findings from the PK sub-study, showing slightly higher FTC exposures in 
subjects with baseline eGFRCG < 50 mL/min, as compared with subjects with baseline 
eGFRCG ≥50 mL/min. Importantly, these observed differences in FTC exposure by 
renal impairment subgroup did not result in a different safety profile. The incidence of adverse 
events that occurred in ≥ 5% of subjects and of treatment-related adverse events that occurred in 
≥1% of subjects was similar between groups after 48 weeks of treatment. Adverse reactions 
from the Emtriva SmPC were also specifically evaluated. Despite higher FTC exposure in this 
study, incidence of these events was similar in subjects with eGFRCG < 50 mL/min and in 
subjects with eGFRCG ≥50 mL/min. The current study will evaluate FTC exposures and safety, 
and an IDMC will be convened to monitor safety data.
1.4.
Risk/Benefit Assessment for the Study
Potential risks of a patient’s study involvement include switching to an unfamiliar regimen with 
potential loss of virologic control and/or new adverse events, the inconvenience of more frequent 
clinic visits and laboratory blood draws and the associated pain and discomfort of phlebotomy. 
Strategies to mitigate these risks include close monitoring of viral load, CD4+ T cell count and 
other lab values as well as monitoring of adverse events. Parameters for discontinuation of the 
study drug due to adverse events or lack of efficacy will be well-defined and closely followed. 
In addition, an independent data monitoring committee will be convened at Week 12 to evaluate 
safety data and determine whether the risks/benefits warrant continuation of the study.

Potential benefits may include the patient receiving a FDC antiretroviral regimen that is more 
convenient leading to improved adherence, with potentially fewer adverse events than the current 
regimen, E/C/F/TAF may provide an alternative treatment for a patient population with fewer 
therapeutic options than the general HIV-1-infected population. 
Considering the above, the benefit-risk balance for this study is considered positive.

Enrollment
This is an open-label, single arm study. All eligible subjects will receive open-label E/C/F/TAF.
Enrollment and Day 1 visit cannot occur until subject eligibility has been confirmed.
It is the responsibility of the Investigator to ensure that the subject is eligible for the study prior 
to enrollment. Once eligibility is confirmed, each subject will be assigned a unique subject 
number using Interactive Web Response System (IWRS). Once a subject number has been 
assigned to a subject, it will not be reassigned to any other subject. The subject number 
assignment may be performed up to 3 days prior to the in-clinic Day 1 visit, provided that all 
other screening procedures have been completed and subject eligibility has been confirmed. 
Eligibility must be confirmed and all Day 1 tests and procedures must be completed prior 
to the administration of the first dose of study drug.
IWRS will assign study drug bottle numbers at each study visit. Initiation of study drug must 
take place on the day of Day 1 visit.

Accountability for E/C/F/TAF
The Investigator is responsible for ensuring adequate accountability of all used and unused study 
drug. Accountability records (Study Drug Inventory Log) will be provided to each study site in 
order to:

Record the date received and the quantity of study drug bottles.

Record the date, subject number, subject initials, the study drug bottle number dispensed.

Record the date, quantity of used and unused study drug returned by the subject, along with 
the initials of the person recording the information.
The Investigator [or designee (e.g., study center pharmacist)] will acknowledge receipt of the 
study drugs from Gilead Sciences (or designee) after reviewing the shipment’s content and 
condition. The Investigator (or designee) will be responsible for maintaining an accurate 
inventory of the dates and quantities of all study drugs received, dispensed, and returned. 
Subjects should be instructed to return all unused study drug to the site at their study visits.  
Each dose of the study drug administered at the study center will be administered by qualified 
study center personnel. All doses of study drug administered to subjects in the clinic under the 
supervision of staff will be accurately recorded on the Study Drug Inventory Logs provided by 
Gilead Sciences (or on equivalent documentation maintained by the study center), which 
indicates the date and quantity of all doses of study drug dispensed to individual subjects. 
The requirements of all applicable drug dispensing laws will apply to all doses of study drugs 
dispensed by the Investigator (or designee). 
The study drug inventory log must be available for inspection by the study monitor. Study drug
supplies, including partially used or empty bottles, must be accounted for by the study monitor 
prior to destruction or return.
5.5.1.
Study Drug Return or Disposal
The study monitor will provide instructions to the sites regarding the return of used and unused 
study drug. If return is not possible, the study monitor will evaluate each study center’s study 
drug disposal procedures and provide appropriate instruction for destruction of unused study 
drug. If the site has an appropriate standard operating procedure (SOP) for drug destruction as 
determined by Gilead QA, the site may destroy used (empty or partially empty) and unused study 
drug bottles in accordance with that site’s approved SOP. A copy of the site’s approved SOP will 
be obtained for central files.
If the study drug is destroyed on site, the investigator must maintain accurate records for all 
study drug destroyed. Records must show the identification and quantity of each unit destroyed, 
the method of destruction, and the person who disposed of the study drug. Upon study 
completion, copies of the study drug accountability records must be filed at the site. Another 
copy will be returned to Gilead. The study monitor will review study drug inventory and 
associated records at periodic intervals.

visit. The sub-study will include intensive PK profiling in plasma. Details of the blood sampling 
procedures and sample management will be documented in the central laboratory manual. 
6.5.2.
Blood Storage
From subjects who provide additional consent, a portion of the blood drawn at all visits 
(except the Screening Visit and Unscheduled Visits) will be frozen and stored. These stored 
blood samples may be used by the Sponsor or its research partners for future testing to learn 
more about how the study drug has worked against HIV-1 or clinical laboratory testing to 
provide additional safety data. No human genetic testing will be performed without expressed 
consent of study subjects. At the conclusion of this study, these samples may be retained in 
storage by Gilead Sciences, Inc. for a period up to 15 years.
6.6.
Virologic Failure
Subjects who experience virologic rebound (VR), as defined below, will be considered to have 
virologic failure.
Subjects will be considered to have virologic rebound if they have confirmed HIV-1 RNA 
≥50 copies/mL (two consecutive tests) at a scheduled or unscheduled visit.
6.6.1.
Management of Virologic Failure

If the viral load is ≥ 50 copies/mL, HIV-1 RNA should be repeated at a scheduled or 
unscheduled visit (2-4 weeks after the date of the original test with HIV-1 RNA 
≥50 copies/mL).

Upon confirmation of HIV-1 RNA ≥ 50 copies/mL, potential causes of virologic failure 
should be documented. Assessments should include:
Adherence
Concomitant medication
Comorbidities (for example: active substance abuse, depression, other intercurrent illnesses)

If virologic rebound is confirmed, and the HIV-1 RNA is < 400 copies/mL, subjects may 
remain on their current regimen at the discretion of the Investigator. Subject will return for a 
repeat within 2-4 weeks.


If virologic failure is confirmed at the scheduled or unscheduled visit and HIV-1 RNA value 
is ≥ 400 copies/mL, the blood samples from the confirmation visit will be used for 
HIV-1 genotype/phenotype testing.

If genotype/phenotype resistance to study drug is documented, study drugs should be 
discontinued. 

If no resistance is detected from genotype/phenotype testing, subject may remain on study 
drug and HIV-1 RNA should be repeated (2-4 weeks from the date of confirmed test with 
HIV-1 RNA ≥ 50 copies/mL). Investigators should carefully evaluate the benefits and risks 
of remaining on study drug for each individual subject and document this assessment in the 
subjects source documents. Investigators who opt to discontinue study drugs for an 
individual subject must discuss with the Medical Monitor prior to study drug discontinuation.
6.6.2.
Subjects with ≥400 copies/mL of HIV-1 in the Absence of VR
Subjects with HIV-1 RNA < 50 copies/mL could subsequently experience unconfirmed blips of 
HIV-1 RNA ≥ 400 copies/mL. Such subjects will be analyzed for resistance if the unconfirmed 
rebound happens at Week 24 or Week 48, or at the last visit while receiving study drugs 
(or within 72 hours of discontinuation of study treatment).
Please refer to Figure 6-1 for the management of subjects who meet the criteria for virologic

ADVERSE EVENTS AND TOXICITY MANAGEMENT
7.1.
Definitions of Adverse Events, Adverse Reactions, and Serious Adverse Events
7.1.1.
Adverse Events
An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study subject 
administered a medicinal product, which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the
treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and/or unintended sign, symptom, or disease 
temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to 
the medicinal product. AEs may also include pre- or post-treatment complications that occur as a 
result of protocol specified procedures, lack of efficacy, overdose, drug abuse/misuse reports, or 
occupational exposure. Preexisting events that increase in severity or change in nature during or 
as a consequence of participation in the clinical study will also be considered AEs.
An AE does not include the following:

Medical or surgical procedures such as surgery, endoscopy, tooth extraction, and transfusion.
The condition that led to the procedure may be an adverse event and must be reported.

Pre-existing diseases, conditions, or laboratory abnormalities present or detected before the 
screening visit that do not worsen

Situations where an untoward medical occurrence has not occurred (e.g., hospitalization for 
elective surgery, social and/or convenience admissions)

Overdose without clinical sequelae (see Section 7.5)

Any medical condition or clinically significant laboratory abnormality with an onset date 
before the consent form is signed and not related to a protocol-associated procedure is not an 
AE. It is considered to be pre-existing and should be documented on the medical history CRF.
7.1.2.
Serious Adverse Events
A serious adverse event (SAE) is defined as an event that, at any dose, results in the following:

Death

Life-threatening (Note: The term “life-threatening” in the definition of “serious” refers to an 
event in which the subject was at risk of death at the time of the event; it does not refer to an 
event that hypothetically might have caused death if it were more severe.)

In-patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization

Persistent or significant disability/incapacity

E/C/F/TAF
Protocol GS-US-292-1825
Final
Gilead Sciences, Inc.
Amendment 1
CONFIDENTIAL
Page 51
13 October 2015

A congenital anomaly/birth defect

A medically important event or reaction: such events may not be immediately 
life-threatening or result in death or hospitalization but may jeopardize the subject or may 
require intervention to prevent one of the other outcomes constituting SAEs. Medical and 
scientific judgment must be exercised to determine whether such an event is a reportable 
under expedited reporting rules. Examples of medically important events include intensive 
treatment in an emergency room or at home for allergic bronchospasm; blood dyscrasias or 
convulsions that do not result in hospitalization; and development of drug dependency or 
drug abuse. For the avoidance of doubt, infections resulting from contaminated medicinal 
product will be considered a medically important event and subject to expedited reporting 
requirements.
7.1.3.
Clinical Laboratory Abnormalities and Other Abnormal Assessments as 
Adverse Events or Serious Adverse Events
Laboratory abnormalities without clinical significance are not recorded as AEs or SAEs. 
However, laboratory abnormalities (e.g., clinical chemistry, hematology, and urinalysis) that 
require medical or surgical intervention or lead to study drug interruption, modification, or 
discontinuation must be recorded as an AE, as well as an SAE, if applicable. In addition, 
laboratory or other abnormal assessments (e.g., electrocardiogram, x-rays, vital signs) that are 
associated with signs and/or symptoms must be recorded as an AE or SAE if they meet the 
definition of an AE or SAE as described in Sections 7.1.1 and 7.1.2. If the laboratory 
abnormality is part of a syndrome, record the syndrome or diagnosis (e.g., anemia), not the 
laboratory result (i.e., decreased hemoglobin).
For specific information on handling of clinical laboratory abnormalities in this study, please 
refer to Section 7.6.
7.2.
Assessment of Adverse Events and Serious Adverse Events
The investigator or qualified sub-investigator is responsible for assessing AEs and SAEs for 
causality and severity, and for final review and confirmation of accuracy of event information 
and assessments.
7.2.1.
Assessment of Causality for Study Drugs and Procedures
The investigator or qualified sub-investigator is responsible for assessing the relationship to 
study drug using clinical judgment and the following considerations:

No: Evidence exists that the adverse event has an etiology other than the study drug. For 
SAEs, an alternative causality must be provided (e.g., pre-existing condition, underlying 
disease, intercurrent illness, or concomitant medication).

Yes: There is reasonable possibility that the event may have been caused by the 
investigational medicinal product.

It should be emphasized that ineffective treatment should not be considered as causally related in 
the context of adverse event reporting. 
The relationship to study procedures (e.g., invasive procedures such as venipuncture or biopsy) 
should be assessed using the following considerations:

No: Evidence exists that the adverse event has an etiology other than the study procedure.

Yes: The adverse event occurred as a result of protocol procedures, (e.g., venipuncture)
7.2.2.
Assessment of Severity
Severity should be recorded and graded according to the GSI Grading Scale for Severity of 
Adverse Events and Laboratory Abnormalities (Appendix 5) For adverse events associated with 
laboratory abnormalities, the event should be graded on the basis of the clinical severity in the 
context of the underlying conditions; this may or may not be in agreement with the grading of 
the laboratory abnormality.
7.3.
Investigator Requirements and Instructions for Reporting Adverse Events 
and Serious Adverse Events to Gilead
Requirements for collection prior to study drug initiation:
After informed consent, but prior to initiation of study drug, the following types of events should 
be reported on the case report form (eCRF): all SAEs and adverse events related to 
protocol-mandated procedures.
7.3.1.
Adverse Events
Following initiation of study drug, collect all AEs, regardless of cause or relationship, until 
4 weeks after last administration of study drug must be reported to the eCRF database as 
instructed.
All AEs should be followed up until resolution or until the adverse event is stable, if possible. 
Gilead Sciences may request that certain AEs be followed beyond the protocol defined follow up 
period.
7.3.2.
Serious Adverse Events
All SAEs, regardless of cause or relationship, that occurs after the subject first consents to 
participate in the study (i.e., signing the informed consent) and throughout the duration of the 
study, including the protocol-required post treatment follow-up period, must be reported to the 
eCRF database and Gilead Drug Safety and Public Health (DSPH) as instructed. This also 
includes any SAEs resulting from protocol-associated procedures performed after informed 
consent is signed.

Any SAEs and deaths that occur after the post treatment follow-up visit but within 30 days of the 
last dose of study drug, regardless of causality, should also be reported. 
All SAEs should be followed up until resolution if possible. If by the last day on study 
(including the off-study drug follow-up period) the SAE has not resolved, then the SAE will be 
followed up until the investigator and/or Gilead Sciences determine that the subject's condition is 
stable. However, Gilead Sciences may request that certain SAEs be followed until resolution.
Investigators are not obligated to actively seek SAEs after the protocol defined follow up period, 
however, if the investigator learns of any SAEs that occur after study participation has concluded 
and the event is deemed relevant to the use of study drug, he/she should promptly document and 
report the event to Gilead DSPH. 

All AEs and SAEs will be recorded in the eCRF database within the timelines outlined in the 
eCRF completion guideline. 
Serious Adverse Event Paper Reporting Process

Serious Adverse Event Paper Reporting Process (only to be used if EDC System is not available)
All SAEs will be recorded on the serious adverse event report form and submitted by 
faxing the report form within 24 hours of the investigator’s knowledge of the event to the 
attention of:
Gilead Sciences DSPH:
Fax:
E-mail:

Electronic Serious Adverse Event (eSAE) Reporting Process

Site personnel record all SAE data in the eCRF database and from there transmit the SAE 
information to Gilead DSPH within 24 hours of the investigator’s knowledge of the event. 
Detailed instructions can be found in the eCRF completion guidelines.

If the SAE was reported via paper, it must be transcribed into the eCRF Database according 
to instructions in the eCRF completion guidelines.

If an SAE has been reported via a paper form because the eCRF database has been locked, 
no further action is necessary.

For fatal or life-threatening events, copies of hospital case reports, autopsy reports, and other 
documents are also to be submitted by e-mail or fax when requested and applicable. 
Transmission of such documents should occur without personal subject identification, 
maintaining the traceability of a document to the subject identifiers.

Gilead Reporting Requirements
Depending on relevant local legislation or regulations, including the applicable US FDA 
Code of Federal Regulations, the EU Clinical Trials Directive (2001/20/EC) and relevant 
updates, and other country-specific legislation or regulations, Gilead may be required to expedite 
to worldwide regulatory agencies reports of SAEs, serious adverse drug reactions (SADRs), or 
suspected unexpected serious adverse reactions (SUSARs). In accordance with the 
EU Clinical Trials Directive (2001/20/EC), Gilead or a specified designee will notify worldwide 
regulatory agencies and the relevant IEC in concerned Member States of applicable SUSARs 
as outlined in current regulations.
Assessment of expectedness for SAEs will be determined by Gilead using reference safety 
information specified in the investigator’s brochure or relevant local label as applicable. 
All investigators will receive a safety letter notifying them of relevant SUSAR reports associated 
with the study drug. The investigator should notify the IRB or IEC of SUSAR reports as soon as 
is practical, where this is required by local regulatory agencies, and in accordance with the local 
institutional policy.
7.5.
Special Situations Reports
7.5.1.
Definitions of Special Situations
Special situation reports include all reports of medication error, abuse, misuse, overdose, reports 
of adverse events associated with product complaints, and pregnancy reports regardless of an 
associated AE.  
Medication error is any unintentional error in the prescribing, dispensing, or administration of a 
medicinal product while in the control of the health care provider, subject, or consumer.
Abuse is defined as persistent or sporadic intentional excessive use of a medicinal product by a 
subject.
Misuse is defined as any intentional and inappropriate use of a medicinal product that is not in 
accordance with the protocol instructions or the local prescribing information.
An overdose is defined as an accidental or intentional administration of a quantity of a medicinal 
product given per administration or cumulatively which is above the maximum recommended 
dose as per protocol or in the product labelling (as it applies to the daily dose of the subject 
in question). In cases of a discrepancy in drug accountability, overdose will be established only

when it is clear that the subject has taken the excess dose(s). Overdose cannot be established 
when the subject cannot account for the discrepancy except in cases in which the investigator has 
reason to suspect that the subject has taken the additional dose(s).
Product complaint is defined as complaints arising from potential deviations in the manufacture, 
packaging, or distribution of the medicinal product.  
7.5.2.
Instructions for Reporting Special Situations
7.5.2.1.
Instructions for Reporting Pregnancies
The investigator should report pregnancies in female study subjects that are identified after 
initiation of study drug and throughout the study, including the post study drug follow-up period, 
to Gilead DSPH using the pregnancy report form within 24 hours of becoming aware of the 
pregnancy.
Refer to the eCRF completion guidelines for full instructions on the mechanism of pregnancy 
reporting.
The pregnancy itself is not considered an AE nor is an induced elective abortion to terminate a 
pregnancy without medical reasons.
Any premature termination of pregnancy (e.g., a spontaneous abortion, an induced therapeutic 
abortion due to complications or other medical reasons) must be reported within 24 hours as an 
SAE. The underlying medical reason for this procedure should be recorded as the AE term.
A spontaneous abortion is always considered to be an SAE and will be reported as described in 
Section 7.3.2. Furthermore, any SAE occurring as an adverse pregnancy outcome post study
must be reported to Gilead DSPH.
The subject should receive appropriate monitoring and care until the conclusion of the 
pregnancy. The outcome should be reported to Gilead DSPH using the pregnancy outcome report 
form. If the end of the pregnancy occurs after the study has been completed, the outcome should 
be reported directly to Gilead DSPH. 
Gilead DSPH contact information is as follows:

Special situations involving non-Gilead concomitant medications does not need to be reported on 
the special situations report form; however, for special situations that result in AEs due to a 
non-Gilead concomitant medication, the AE should be reported on the AE form. 
Any inappropriate use of concomitant medications prohibited by this protocol should not be 
reported as “misuse,” but may be more appropriately documented as a protocol deviation.
Refer to the CRF/eCRF completion guidelines for full instructions on the mechanism of special 
situations reporting.
All clinical sequelae in relation to these special situation reports will be reported as AEs or SAEs 
at the same time using the AE eCRF and/or the SAE report form. Details of the symptoms and 
signs, clinical management, and outcome will be reported, when available.
7.6.
Toxicity Management
All clinical and clinically significant laboratory toxicities will be managed according to uniform 
guidelines detailed in Appendix 4 as outlined below.

All clinically significant Grades 3 and 4 laboratory abnormalities should be repeated within 
3 calendar days to confirm toxicity grade. Confirmation of toxicity grade is required prior to 
the next dose of study drug for any Grade 3 and 4 laboratory abnormality that in the opinion 
of the Investigator is clinically significant and may pose a risk to the subject’s safety.

Clinical events and clinically significant laboratory abnormalities will be graded according to 
the GSI Grading Scale for Severity of Adverse Events and Laboratory Abnormalities 
(refer to Appendix 5).

Any questions regarding toxicity management should be directed to the Medical Monitor.
7.6.1.
Grades 1 and 2 Laboratory Abnormality or Clinical Event
Continue study drug at the discretion of the Investigator.
7.6.2.
Grade 3 Laboratory Abnormality or Clinical Event

For Grade 3 clinically significant laboratory abnormality or clinical event, study drug may be 
continued if the event is considered to be unrelated to study drug.

For a Grade 3 clinical event, or clinically significant laboratory abnormality confirmed by 
repeat testing, that is considered to be related to study drug, study drug should be withheld 
until the toxicity returns to ≤Grade 2.

If a laboratory abnormality recurs to ≥Grade 3 following re-challenge with study drug and is 
considered related to study drug, then study drug should be permanently discontinued and the 
subject managed according to local practice. Recurrence of laboratory abnormalities 
considered unrelated to study drug may not require permanent discontinuation.

Grade 4 Laboratory Abnormality or Clinical Event

For a Grade 4 clinical event or clinically significant Grade 4 laboratory abnormality 
confirmed by repeat testing that is considered related to study drug, study drug should be 
permanently discontinued and the subject managed according to local practice. The subject 
should be followed as clinically indicated until the laboratory abnormality returns to baseline 
or is otherwise explained, whichever occurs first. A clinically significant Grade 4 laboratory 
abnormality that is not confirmed by repeat testing should be managed according to the 
algorithm for the new toxicity grade.
Study Drug may be continued without dose interruption for a clinically non-significant 
Grade 3-4 laboratory abnormality (e.g., CK elevation after strenuous exercise, or triglyceride 
elevation that is non-fasting or that can be medically managed) or a Grade 3-4 clinical event 
considered unrelated to study drug.

Extent of Exposure
A subject’s extent of exposure to study drug will be generated from the study drug 
administration data. Exposure data will be summarized. 
Duration of exposure to study drug will be expressed as the number of weeks between the first 
and last dose of the study drug, inclusive, regardless of temporary interruptions in study drug
administration, and summarized. Dosing information for individual subjects will be listed.
8.5.2.
Adverse Events
Clinical and laboratory adverse events will be coded using the Medical Dictionary for
Regulatory Activities (MedDRA). System Organ Class (SOC), High-Level Group Term 
(HLGT), High-Level Term (HLT), Preferred Term (PT), and Lower-Level Term (LLT) will be 
attached to the clinical database.
Treatment-emergent adverse events are adverse events that meet one of the following criteria:

Adverse events with onset dates on or after the first dose date of study drug, and no later than 
30 days after permanent discontinuation of study drug, or

Adverse events that result in permanent study drug discontinuation
Summaries (number and percentage of subjects) of treatment-emergent adverse events 
(by SOC and PT) will be provided. Additional summaries will include summaries for adverse 
events by grade, Investigator’s assessment of relationship to study drug, and effect on study drug 
dosing.
8.5.3.
Laboratory Evaluations
Selected laboratory data will be summarized using only observed data. Absolute values and 
changes from baseline at all scheduled time points will be summarized.
Graded laboratory abnormalities will be defined using the GSI Grading Scale for severity of 
Adverse Events and Laboratory Abnormalities (Appendix 5).
Incidence of treatment-emergent laboratory abnormalities, defined as values that increase at least 
one toxicity grade from baseline at any time post baseline up to the date of last dose of study 
drug plus 30 days, will be summarized. If baseline data are missing, then any graded abnormality 
(i.e., at least a Grade 1) will be considered treatment-emergent. The maximum toxicity grade will 
be summarized by laboratory parameter.

8.6.
Pharmacokinetic Analysis
Pharmacokinetic parameters will be listed and summarized for using descriptive statistics 
(eg, sample size, arithmetic mean, geometric mean, % coefficient of variation, standard 
deviation, median, minimum, and maximum). Plasma concentrations of the study drug over time 
will be plotted in semi logarithmic and linear formats as mean ± standard deviation.
8.7.
Sample Size
A sample size of approximately 50 subjects is based on practical considerations and is 
considered to be sufficient to evaluate the primary objective of this study. The Grade 3 or higher 
AE rate in Study GS-US-292-0112 in subjects that had mild to moderate renal impairment was 
8.8% at Week 48 for the E/C/F/TAF arm. Therefore, with 50 subjects, and an assumed rate of 
Grade 3 or higher AEs being 10%, this study would provide 95% confidence for the primary 
endpoint to be (1.7%, 18.3%) assuming normal approximation to binomial proportions. 
A sample size of at least 15 subjects is considered for estimating the PK parameters in the 
sub-study for practical reasons. 
8.8.
Data Monitoring Committee
An external multidisciplinary independent data monitoring committee (IDMC) will review the 
progress of the study and perform interim reviews of safety, efficacy data and provide 
recommendation to Gilead whether the nature, frequency, and severity of adverse effects 
associated with study drug warrant the early termination of the study in the best interests of the 
participants, whether the study should continue as planned, or the study should continue with 
modifications. The committee will convene after the first 25 subjects enrolled complete Week 12
of the study. The IDMC’s specific activities will be defined by a mutually agreed charter, which 
will define the IDMC’s membership, conduct and meeting schedule.

Enrollment eCRFs should be completed only after all data related to eligibility have been received. 
Subsequent to data entry, a study monitor will perform source data verification within the EDC 
system. System-generated or manual queries will be issued to the investigative site staff as data 
discrepancies are identified by the monitor or internal Gilead staff, who routinely review the data 
for completeness, correctness, and consistency. The site coordinator is responsible for responding 
to the queries in a timely manner, within the system, either by confirming the data as correct or 
updating the original entry, and providing the reason for the update (e.g. data entry error). Original 
entries as well as any changes to data fields will be stored in the audit trail of the system. Prior to
any interim time points or database lock (as instructed by Gilead), the investigator will use his/her 
log in credentials to confirm that the forms have been reviewed, and that the entries accurately 
reflect the information in the source documents. At the conclusion of the trial, Gilead will provide 
the site with a read-only archive copy of the data entered by that site. This archive must be stored 
in accordance with the records retention requirements outlined in Section 9.1.5.
9.1.7.
Study Drug Accountability and Return
The study monitor will provide instructions for return of used and unused study drug. If return is 
not possible, the study monitor will evaluate each study center’s study drug disposal procedures 
and provide appropriate instruction for destruction of unused study drug supplies. If the site has 
an appropriate standard operating procedure (SOP) for drug destruction as determined by 
Gilead QA, the site may destroy used (empty or partially empty) and unused study drug supplies 
in accordance with that site’s approved SOP. A copy of the site’s approved SOP will be obtained 
for central files. 
If the study drug is destroyed on site, the investigator must maintain accurate records for all 
study drug destroyed. Records must show the identification and quantity of each unit destroyed, 
the method of destruction, and the person who disposed of the study drug. Upon study 
completion, copies of the study drug accountability records must be filed at the site. Another 
copy will be returned to Gilead.
The study monitor will review study drug inventory and associated records at periodic intervals.
9.1.8.
Inspections
The investigator will make available all source documents and other records for this trial to 
Gilead’s appointed study monitors, IRBs or IECs, or regulatory authority or health authority 
inspectors.
9.1.9.
Protocol Compliance
The investigator is responsible for ensuring the study is conducted in accordance with the 
procedures and evaluations described in this protocol.

Access to Information for Monitoring
In accordance with regulations and guidelines, the study monitor must have direct access to the 
investigator’s source documentation in order to verify the accuracy of the data recorded in the 
eCRF.
The monitor is responsible for routine review of the eCRF at regular intervals throughout the 
study to verify adherence to the protocol and the completeness, consistency, and accuracy of the 
data being entered on them. The monitor should have access to any subject records needed to 
verify the entries on the eCRF. The investigator agrees to cooperate with the monitor to ensure 
that any problems detected through any type of monitoring (central, on site) are resolved.
9.3.3.
Access to Information for Auditing or Inspections
Representatives of regulatory authorities or of Gilead may conduct inspections or audits of the 
clinical study. If the investigator is notified of an inspection by a regulatory authority the 
investigator agrees to notify the Gilead medical monitor immediately. The investigator agrees to 
provide to representatives of a regulatory agency or Gilead access to records, facilities, and 
personnel for the effective conduct of any inspection or audit.
9.3.4.
Study Discontinuation
Both the sponsor and the investigator reserve the right to terminate the study at any time. Should 
this be necessary, both parties will arrange discontinuation procedures and notify the appropriate 
regulatory authority(ies), IRBs, and IECs. In terminating the study, Gilead and the investigator 
will assure that adequate consideration is given to the protection of the subjects’ interests.

Notes: 

Toxicity grades for Quantitative and Dipstick Hematuria will be assigned by Covance Laboratory, however for other laboratories, toxicity grades will only be assigned to 
Dipstick Hematuria.

With the exception of lipid tests, any graded laboratory test with a result that is between the LLN and ULN should be assigned Grade 0.

If the severity of a clinical AE could fall under either one of two grades (e.g., the severity of an AE could be either Grade 2 or Grade 3), select the higher of the two grades for 
the AE.

Pregnancy Precautions, Definition for Female of Childbearing 
Potential, and Contraceptive Requirements
1) Definitions
a) Definition of Childbearing Potential
For the purposes of this study, a female born subject is considered of childbearing potential 
following the initiation of puberty (Tanner stage 2) until becoming post-menopausal, unless 
permanently sterile or with medically documented ovarian failure.
Women are considered to be in a postmenopausal state when they are > 54 years of age with 
cessation of previously occurring menses for > 12 months without an alternative cause. 
In addition, women of any age with amenorrhea of > 12 months may also be considered 
postmenopausal if their follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) level is in the postmenopausal range 
and they are not using hormonal contraception or hormonal replacement therapy.
Permanent sterilization includes hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy, or bilateral salpingectomy
in a female subject of any age.
b) Definition of Male Fertility
For the purposes of this study, a male born subject is considered of fertile after the initiation of 
puberty unless permanently sterile by bilateral orchidectomy or medical documentation.
2) Contraception Requirements for Female Subjects
a) Study Drug Effects on Pregnancy and Hormonal Contraception
The data of study drugs on pregnant women is limited or not available. There is no suspicion of 
human teratogenicity based on class effects or genotoxic potential. Relevant non clinical 
reproductive toxicity studies for human pregnancy do not indicate a strong suspicion of human 
teratogenicity/fetotoxicity. Data from clinical pharmacokinetic interaction studies of study drug 
have demonstrated that there is no reduction in the clinical efficacy of hormonal contraception or 
that the effect on hormonal contraception is insignificant. Please refer to the latest version of the 
investigator’s brochure for additional information.
b) Contraception Requirements for Female Subjects of Childbearing Potential
The inclusion of female subjects of childbearing potential requires the use of highly effective 
contraceptive measures. They must also not rely on hormone-containing contraceptives as a form 
of birth control during the study. They must have a negative serum pregnancy test at Screening 
prior to study enrollment. A serum pregnancy test will be performed at all study visits and the 
end of relevant system exposure. In the event of a delayed menstrual period (over one month 
between menstruations), a serum pregnancy test must be performed to rule out pregnancy. This is 
even true for women of childbearing potential with infrequent or irregular periods. Female 
subjects must agree to one of the following from Screening until 30 days following the end of 
relevant systemic exposure.


Complete abstinence from intercourse of reproductive potential. Abstinence is an acceptable 
method of contraception only when it is in line with the subject’s preferred and usual 
lifestyle. 
Or

Consistent and correct use of 1 of the following methods of birth control listed below:
Intrauterine device (IUD) with a failure rate of < 1% per year
Tubal sterilization
Essure micro-insert system (provided confirmation of success 3 months after procedure)
Vasectomy in the male partner (provided that the partner is the sole sexual partner and 
had confirmation of surgical success 3 months after procedure)
Or

Consistent and correct use of one hormonal method and one barrier method:
Barrier methods
o
Diaphragm with spermicide
o
Cervical cap with spermicide
o
Male condom (with or without spermicide)
Hormonal methods (the hormonal contraceptive should contain at least 30 mcg of 
ethinyl estradiol)
o
Intrauterine hormone-releasing system (IUS) with a failure rate of < 1% per year
o
Oral contraceptives (either combined or progesterone only)
o
Injectable progesterone
o
Implants of levonorgestrel
o
Transdermal contraceptive patch
o
Contraceptive vaginal ring
Female subjects must also refrain from egg donation and in vitro fertilization during treatment 
and until at least 30 days after the end of relevant systemic exposure.

3) Contraception Requirements for Male Subjects
During the study, male subjects with female partners of childbearing potential should use 
condoms when engaging in intercourse of reproductive potential. 
4) Unacceptable Birth Control Methods
Birth control methods that are unacceptable include periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar, ovulation,
symptothermal, post-ovulation methods), withdrawal (coitus interruptus), spermicides only, and 
lactational amenorrhea method (LAM). Female condom and male condom should not be used 
together.
5) Procedures to be Followed in the Event of Pregnancy
Subjects will be instructed to notify the investigator if they become pregnant at any time during 
the study, or if they become pregnant within 30days of last study drug dose. Subjects who 
become pregnant or who suspect that they are pregnant during the study must report the 
information to the investigator and discontinue study drug immediately. Subjects whose partner 
has become pregnant or suspects she is pregnant during the study must report the information to 
the investigator. Instructions for reporting pregnancy, partner pregnancy, and pregnancy outcome 
are outlined in Section 7.5.2.1.
