The primary objective of this study is to determine how bictegravir (BIC) plus lenacapvir (LEN) in two different doses affects an HIV-1 infection in the body compared with current standard treatment regimens. Other objectives are to determine which of these treatments are the most effective for treating HIV-1 infection, the safety and tolerability of these two doses for people with HIV, as well as how long it stays in the body using physical exams, laboratory tests, ECG, blood analysis, and any symptoms or problems experienced during the study.
This study is being done to understand whether a different type of electroencephalography (EEG) monitoring that permits longer monitoring is able to capture more seizures than regular EEG monitoring, and whether this new type of monitoring will improve clinical care. This type of EEG monitoring (REMI) is currently cleared by the United States Government Food and Drug Administration (or FDA) for use in hospitals but not yet cleared to be used at home.
Eligible subjects who have EEG monitoring scheduled with either a 3-day EEG monitoring performed at home or with a 3-day EEG monitoring schedule at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC). Subjects are in the study for approximately 4 weeks and will need to come to the study center for one or two visits. They will be asked to wear 4 of Epitel's REMI Sensors on their head, in addition to the regular EEG electrodes, for two 2-week REMI EEG monitoring periods. A 2nd visit (clinic visit) at MUSC may be needed if the recording is at MUSC, in order to start the second REMI EEG monitoring session.
At the end of the study, three independent epileptologists will review the REMI EEG recordings and compile a report of any findings. They will then provide this report to the subject's neurologist who will assess the value of the additional EEG information, and save the report within the MUSC medical record.
This research study is being done to see the effectiveness and safety of a new drug called BHV-7000 as a possible treatment for focal seizures for patients who are taking anti-seizure medications (ASMs) and still experience seizures. Participation in this study is expected to last approximately 18 to 20 weeks, or about 4 months.
