Brief Summary:
This study will compare safety, efficacy, and tolerability of a two drug regimen of dolutegravir (DTG) plus (+) lamivudine (3TC) administered once daily with DTG plus two nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (tenofovir disoproxil fumarate [TDF]/emtricitabine [FTC] fixed dose combination [FDC]) administered once daily in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) 1 infected adult subjects that have not previously received antiretroviral therapy. The study is designed to demonstrate the non inferior antiviral activity of DTG + 3TC regimen to that of DTG + TDF/FTC FDC and will characterise the long term antiviral activity, tolerability and safety of DTG plus 3TC through Week 148. Approximately, 700 subjects will be randomised 1:1 to receive DTG + 3TC or DTG + TDF/FTC FDC. Subjects will be stratified by screening HIV 1 ribonucleotide nucleic acid (RNA) levels and by screening CD4+ (cluster of differentiation 4) cell count.

Exclusion Criteria
- Women who are breastfeeding or plan to become pregnant or breastfeed during the study
- 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 and historical or current CD4 cell counts less than 200 cells/mm^3
- Subjects with severe hepatic impairment (Class C) as determined by Child Pugh classification
- Unstable liver disease (as defined by the presence of ascites, encephalopathy, coagulopathy, hypoalbuminaemia, oesophageal or gastric varices, or persistent jaundice), cirrhosis, known biliary abnormalities (with the exception of Gilbert's syndrome or asymptomatic gallstones
- Evidence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection or HBV surface antibody (anti-HBs or HBsAb) based on:
Subjects positive for HBV surface antigen (HBsAg) at screening will be excluded Subjects negative for HBV core antibody (anti HBs) but positive for anti HBc (negative HBsAg status) and positive for HBV deoxyribose nucleic acid (DNA) will be excluded; however, subjects positive for anti HBc (negative HBsAg status) and positive for anti HBs (past and/or current evidence) are immune to HBV and will not be excluded
- Anticipated need for any hepatitis B virus (HCV) therapy during the first 48 weeks of the study and for HCV therapy based on interferon or any drugs that have a potential for adverse drug:drug interactions with study treatment throughout the entire study period
- Untreated syphilis infection positive RPR at Screening without clear documentation of treatment. Subjects who are at least 14 days post completed treatment are eligible
- History or presence of allergy or intolerance to the study drugs or their components or drugs of their class
- Ongoing malignancy other than cutaneous Kaposi's sarcoma, basal cell carcinoma, or resected, non invasive cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma, or cervical, anal or penile intraepithelial neoplasia; other localised malignancies require agreement between the investigator and the Study Medical Monitor for inclusion of the subject
- Subjects who in the Investigator's judgment, poses a significant suicidality risk. Recent history of suicidal behaviour and/or suicidal ideation may be considered as evidence of serious suicide risk
- Treatment with an HIV 1 immunotherapeutic vaccine within 90 days of Screening
-
Treatment with any of the following agents within 28 days of Screening:
- Radiation therapy,
- Cytotoxic chemotherapeutic agents,
- Any systemic immune suppressant
- Treatment with any agent, except recognised ART as allowed above, with documented activity against HIV 1 in vitro within 28 days of first dose of study treatment
- Exposure to an experimental drug or experimental vaccine within either 28 days, 5 half lives of the test agent, or twice the duration of the biological effect of the test agent, whichever is longer, prior to the first dose of study treatment
- Subjects enrolled in France: the subject has participated in any study using an investigational drug during the previous 60 days or 5 half lives, or twice the duration of the biological effect of the experimental drug or vaccine, whichever is longer, prior to screening for the study or the subject will participate simultaneously in another clinical study
- Any evidence of pre existing viral resistance based on the presence of any major resistance associated mutation in the Screening result or, if known, in any historical resistance test result
- Any verified Grade 4 laboratory abnormality. A single repeat test is allowed during the Screening period to verify a result
- Any acute laboratory abnormality at Screening, which, in the opinion of the Investigator, would preclude the subject's participation in the study of an investigational compound
- Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) >=5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) or ALT >=3xULN and bilirubin >=1.5xULN (with >35% direct bilirubin)
- Creatinine clearance of <50 mL/min per 1.73 m^2 via the chronic kidney disease epidemiology collaboration (CKD EPI) method
