Background Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) is included in most recommended antiretroviral regimens, and although potent and generally well tolerated, has been associated with clinically significant renal and bone toxicity1-3 Relative to TDF 300 mg, tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) 25 mg has 90% lower circulating plasma TFV, while maintaining high antiviral activity4 In Phase 2, efficacy of elvitegravir, cobicistat, emtricitabine, and TAF (E/C/F/TAF) was comparable to E/C/F/TDF, and demonstrated significant improvements in renal and bone safety5 We sought to confirm the efficacy of E/C/F/TAF in two fully powered clinical trials 1.
