Summary:

      The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of GSK3640254 + DTG relative to
      lamivudine (3TC) + DTG in treatment-naïve adult participants living with human
      immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1. The participants were randomized to one of the three doses of
      blinded GSK3640254 (100, 150, or 200 milligrams [mgs]) or a reference arm of blinded 3TC-each
      in combination with open label DTG.
    

Eligibility criteria:

        Inclusion Criteria:

        Exclusion Criteria:

          -  Any evidence of an active Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Stage 3
             disease [CDC, 2014], except cutaneous Kaposi's sarcoma not requiring systemic therapy.

          -  Presence of primary HIV infection, evidenced by acute retroviral syndrome (example
             [e.g.], fever, malaise, fatigue, etc.) and/or evidence of recent (within 3 months)
             documented viremia without antibody production and/or evidence of recent (within 3
             months) documented seroconversion.

          -  Unstable liver disease (as defined by any of the following: presence of ascites,
             encephalopathy, coagulopathy, hypoalbuminemia, esophageal or gastric varices, or
             persistent jaundice or cirrhosis), known biliary abnormalities (with the exception of
             Gilbert's syndrome or asymptomatic gallstones or otherwise stable chronic liver
             disease per investigator assessment);

          -  History of ongoing or clinically relevant hepatitis within the previous 6 months.

          -  Any history of significant underlying psychiatric disorder.

          -  Any history of major depressive disorder with or without suicidal features, or anxiety
             disorders, that required medical intervention (pharmacologic or not) such as
             hospitalization or other inpatient treatment and/or chronic (>6 months) outpatient
             treatment.

          -  A pre-existing condition, in the opinion of the Investigator or Medical Monitor, that
             could interfere with normal gastrointestinal anatomy or motility (e.g.,
             gastroesophageal reflux disease [GERD], gastric ulcers, gastritis, inflammatory bowel
             disease), hepatic and/or renal function, or with the absorption, metabolism, and/or
             excretion of the study interventions or render the participant unable to take oral
             study treatment.

          -  Familial or personal history of long QT syndrome or sudden cardiac death.

          -  Active treatment for a viral infection other than HIV-1, such as Hepatitis B, with an
             agent that is active against HIV-1 (were known to be infected with HIV-1 after
             treatment for Hepatitis B was completed).
