+Detailed description

Participants may be enrolled into Cohort 1 (1a and 1b) or Cohort 2 (2a, 2b1 or 2b2, 2c), 3, 4, and 5. All participants still receiving VIR-2218 or VIR-3434 monotherapy at the time of implementation of Protocol Amendment 4 will switch to combination therapy at Week 132 (Cohort 2a, 2b1/2b2) or Week 112 (Cohort 3).
