A Dose-Ranging Study to Compare Doravirine (MK-1439) Plus TRUVADA® Versus Efavirenz Plus TRUVADA® in Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)-1 Infected Participants (MK-1439-007)

Summary

The hypothesis tested in this study is that doravirine (MK-1439) at the final dose selected is superior to efavirenz, each given in combination with TRUVADA®, as measured by the percentage of participants with CNS events by Week 8. If superiority is established at Week 8, the same hypothesis will be tested for Week 24.
