About this trial

The RESOLVE trial is an open, parallel arm, randomized clinical trial which aims to determine the optimal strategy for management of virologic failure on antiretroviral therapy (ART) with tenofovir, lamivudine, and dolutegravir (TLD) in sub-Saharan Africa. The primary outcome of interest will be viral suppression to \<50 copies/mL at 48 weeks using the FDA snapshot definition. The study will be conducted in Uganda and South Africa.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Age 15 years and above

Enrolled in HIV care at one of the study clinics

History of two HIV-1 RNA viral load measurements >1,000 copies/mL while on TLD

On TLD for at least 12 months

Disqualifiers

Plans to transfer out of the clinic within the next 48 weeks

Plans to move out of the study catchment area within the next 48 weeks

As determined by chart review, we will exclude those with known virologic failure on protease inhibitors or exposure to integrase strand transfer inhibitors other than dolutegravir.
