Introduction The DISCOVER study (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT02842086) is a Phase 3, randomized, controlled trial of the efficacy and safety of F/TAF vs F/TDF for PrEP among MSM and TGW At the primary analysis (when 100% of participants completed Week 48 and 50% completed Week 96) and at Week 961,2: F/TAF was noninferior to F/TDF in preventing HIV infection F/TAF had significantly better bone and renal safety outcomes vs F/TDF F/TDF was associated with reductions in HDL and LDL cholesterol, while F/TAF was associated with minimal lipid changes F/TDF was associated with weight loss at Week 24 and less weight gain than F/TAF at Weeks 48 and 96 Here we present the results for participants who switched from F/TDF to F/TAF in the OL phase F/TAF, emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide; F/TDF, emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate; HDL, high-density lipoprotein; LDL, low-density lipoprotein; MSM, cisgender men who have sex with men; PrEP, pre-exposure prophylaxis; OL, open label; TGW, transgender women who have sex with men. 1.

Conclusions The DISCOVER open label phase allows for the study of people changing from F/TDF to F/TAF for PrEP Participants who switched from F/TDF to F/TAF in the OL phase demonstrated: A low HIV incidence rate Improvements in eGFR and markers of proximal renal tubule dysfunction Improvement in bone mineral density Increases in LDL, HDL, and weight consistent with removal of weight and lipid suppressive effects of TDF F/TAF is a safe and effective option for PrEP in people currently taking F/TDF for PrEP 12
