  • In treatment-naive women, DTG/ABC/3TC was superior to
    ATV + r + TDF/FTC at 48 weeks of treatment
    • HIV RNA < 50 c/mL (ITT-E, snapshot): 82% vs 71%
    • Adjusted difference 10.5%, 95% CI: 3.1% to 17.8%, p = 0.005
    • Difference driven by lower rate of virologic non-response and fewer discontinuations due to adverse events in DTG arm
  • DTG/ABC/3TC had a favorable safety profile compared to
    ATV + r + TDF/FTC

Design


* Randomisation was stratified by HIV RNA (≤ or > 100 000 c/mL) and CD4 (≤ or > 350/mm3)

Objective

  • Non inferiority of DTG/ABC/3TC at W48: % HIV RNA < 50 c/mL by intention to treat, snapshot analysis (lower margin of the 2-sided 95% CI for the difference = - 12%, 90% power)

Baseline characteristics and patient disposition

Response to treatment (HIV-1 RNA < 50 c/mL) at week 48, ITT-E

Emergence of resistance

  • Confirmed virologic failure (HIV RNA ≥ 400 c/mL): 6 DTG/ABC/3TC vs 4 ATV + r + FTC/TDF
  • Mutations emergence at failure
  • DTG/ABC/3TC, N = 2 (K219K/Q, E138E/G)
  • ATV + r + FTC/TDF, N = 1 (M184V)

Response to treatment (HIV-1 RNA < 50 c/mL) at W48, per protocol

Adverse events

Changes in laboratory parameters at W48
