We previously demonstrated superior efficacy and safety advantages in HIV-infected, virologically suppressed adults switched to a regimen containing tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) as compared with those remaining on a tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) regimen through week 48. We now report long-term data through week 96. In this randomized, active-controlled, multicenter, open-label, noninferiority trial (ClinicalTrials.gov No. NCT01815736), we randomized virologically suppressed (HIV-1 RNA <50 copies/ml) adults (2:1) to receive a once-daily, single-tablet regimen containing elvitegravir (EVG), cobicistat (COBI), emtricitabine (FTC), and TAF group or to continue one of four TDF-containing regimens (TDF group) for 96 weeks. We evaluated efficacy (HIV-1 RNA <50 copies/ml using the FDA snapshot algorithm) and prespecified bone and renal endpoints at week 96. We randomized and treated 1,436 participants in this study (TAF n = 959, TDF n = 477). At week 96, TAF was superior to TDF in virologic efficacy, with 93% on TAF and 89% on TDF having HIV-1 RNA <50 copies/ml (difference 3.7%, 95% confidence interval: 0.4%-7.0%). Improvements in hip and spine bone mineral density for those assigned to TAF versus TDF continued through week 96 (p < .001). Significant improvements in urine protein or albumin to creatinine ratios were also seen among those in the TAF group versus TDF through week 96 (p < .001). There were no cases of investigator-reported proximal renal tubulopathy in the TAF grou...
