NCT04979468

Brief Summary

Phase III, randomized, open-label, multicentre, active-controlled, non-inferiority study evaluating the efficacy and safety of early switching to dolutegravir/lamivudine (DTG/3TC) in single-pill, in HIV-1 infected individuals currently taking an INSTI-based three-drug first-line regimen for less than 18 months and who have been virologically suppressed with HIV-1 RNA \<50 copies/mL

Study Arms (2)

ARM A

OTHER

Drug: DOVATO

ARM B

OTHER

Participants in Arm B will continue the INSTI-based ART regimen until week 48, and then will be switched to DTG/3TC through week 96 (delayed switch).

Drug: DOVATO

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • HIV-1 documented infection;
  • Aged 18 years or older at the time of signing the informed consent;
  • Stable INSTI-based first-line three-drug ART (switch between different NRTIs are allowed; e.g. from TDF/FTC to TAF/FTC or ABC/3TC, from TAF/FTC to TDF/FTC or ABC/3TC, from ABC/3TC to TAF/FTC or TDF/FTC). Any change of INSTI will not be allowed. Only the following regimens will be allowed:
  • RAL 1200 mg QD plus TDF/FTC or TAF/FTC;
  • RAL 1200 mg QD plus ABC/3TC;
  • EVG/COBI/FTC/TDF or EVG/COBI/FTC/TAF;
  • DTG plus TDF/FTC or TAF/FTC;
  • DTG/ABC/3TC or DTG plus ABC/3TC;
  • BIC/TAF/FTC
  • Previous INSTI-based first-line ART lasting less than 18 months before screening;
  • To have reached a HIV-1 RNA \<50 copies/mL during INSTI first-line therapy for less than 12 months. At least a single HIV-1 RNA determination below the threshold within the 6 months before enrollment is required (if a following determination in present, this should not be ≥50 copies (cp)/mL)
  • HIV-1 RNA below 50 copies/mL at the screening visit;
  • No known allergy or intolerance to the study drugs or their components or drugs of their class;
  • A female person is eligible to enter the study if it is confirmed that she is:
  • Not pregnant confirmed by a negative serum pregnancy test at both Screening and Day1;
  • +5 more criteria

You may not qualify if:

  • Having failed virologically;
  • Having changed the INSTI drug;
  • Any major INSTI- or NRTI-resistance-associated mutation documented before starting ART;
  • Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding or plan to become pregnant or breastfeed during the study;
  • Evidence of Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection based on the results of testing at screening for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), hepatitis B core antibody (anti-Hbc), hepatitis B surface antigen antibody (anti-HBs) and, possibly, HBV DNA as follows:
  • Individuals positive for HBsAg are excluded;
  • Individuals negative for anti-HBs but positive for anti-HBc (negative HBsAg status) and positive for HBV DNA are excluded;
  • HCV-RNA positivity needing for any hepatitis C virus (HCV) therapy during the study;
  • Ongoing malignancy other than cutaneous Kaposi's sarcoma (not requiring systemic therapy), basal cell carcinoma, or resected, non-invasive cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma, or cervical, anal or penile intraepithelial neoplasia;
  • Active opportunistic infections requiring active treatment;
  • Creatinine clearance of \<50 mL/min/1.73m2 via CKD-EPI method;
  • Individuals with severe hepatic impairment (Child Pugh class C) and/or unstable liver disease;
  • Any verified Grade 4 laboratory abnormality at screening assessment;
  • Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) \>5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) or ALT \>3xULN and bilirubin \>1.5xULN (with \>35% direct bilirubin) at screening assessment;
  • Receipt of investigational research agents within 30 days prior to study entry;
  • +4 more criteria
