    Background: An increasing proportion of people with HIV (PWH) are aged ≥ 50 years, with a greater burden of age-related comorbidities; however, long-term analyses of this population are limited. We present key treatment outcomes through 5 years of first-line therapy with bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (B/F/TAF) in PWH ≥ 50 vs < 50 years. Methods: Studies 1489 (NCT02607930; B/F/TAF vs dolutegravir/abacavir/lamivudine [DTG/ABC/3TC]) and 1490 (NCT02607956; B/F/TAF vs DTG+F/TAF) were randomized, double-blind, multicenter Phase 3 studies in adult PWH. This pooled analysis reports outcomes for participants ≥ 50 vs < 50 years who received B/F/TAF in the 144-week (W) randomization phase and the 96W open-label extension. Baseline demographics and clinical characteristics; proportion of participants with HIV-1 RNA < 50 copies/mL (missing=excluded); adherence; changes in CD4 cell count and metabolic, renal, and bone parameters; and treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) are presented. Results: Overall, 634 participants received B/F/TAF up to W240; 96 (15.1%) were ≥ 50 years and 538 (84.9%) were < 50 years. Baseline demographics, clinical characteristics, and outcomes are shown in the Table. Higher rates of baseline comorbidities were observed in those aged ≥ 50 vs < 50 years. Both groups had high rates of HIV suppression at W240. A greater proportion of participants aged ≥ 50 vs < 50 years had ≥ 95% adherence (82.8% vs 66.3%; P=0.0015). Changes in CD4 count, weight, eGFR, fasting total cholesterol to high-density lipoprotein ratio, and hip and spine bone mineral density were similar between groups. Proportions of participants with study drug-related TEAEs were similar between groups, with few participants experiencing a TEAE leading to study drug discontinuation. Proportions of TE hypertension and diabetes were modestly higher in the ≥ 50 group vs the < 50 group. Conclusion: Over 5 years, participants ≥ 50 years were more likely to have high adherence to B/F/TAF treatment vs those < 50 years, with low rates of discontinuations due to AEs in both groups. B/F/TAF maintained high rates of virologic suppression, was well tolerated, and resulted in similar changes in metabolic, renal, and bone parameters in both groups, supporting its use for long-term management of HIV in older PWH.
