DORAvirine Versus DOlutegravir Based Antiretroviral Regimens in Treatment-naïve People Living With HIV-1 Infection
610 patients around the world
Available in Brazil
Phase III, multicenter, open-label, randomized, non-inferiority clinical trial which aims
to assess the non-inferiority of doravirine in association with tenofovir and lamivudine,
as compared to dolutegravir in association with tenofovir and lamivudine or
emtricitabine.
This trial will be implemented in Brazil, Cambodia, Cameroon, Côte d'Ivoire, France and
Mozambique.
Six hundred and ten patients will be enrolled and followed for 96 weeks after entry in
the trial (=ART initiation).
Primary endpoint will assess virological efficacy at Week 48, measured by the proportion
of subjects achieving HIV-1 RNA <50 copies/mL, in HIV-1 infected, treatment-naive
subjects with pre-treatment viral load (HIV-1 RNA) ≥ 1,000 copies/mL.
Secondary endpoints are planned at W48 and W96.
