About this trial
Dolutegravir (DTG) is one type of integrase inhibitor, lamivudine (3TC) is one type of reverse transcriptase inhibitor, both of which are HIV medicine prevents HIV from self-multiplying, reduces the viral load. The data of the existing randomized controlled clinical studies show that the simplified two-drug DTG-based regimen is similar to the three-drug regimen in terms of efficacy, but there are no relevant data and reports on the efficacy and safety of DTG+3TC in HIV-infected patients in China so far. This project aims to explore the efficacy and safety of the DTG + 3TC regimen for HIV-infected patients in real clinical environment, to guide clinical application, and to provide a theoretical basis for the selection of simplified schemes for the formulation of guidelines.
This study was done to see if the combination of two anti-HIV medicines, dolutegravir (DTG, Tivicay) and lamivudine (3TC, Epivir) taken once a day, provide a safe, effective, and well-tolerated treatment for HIV.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Age (> 18 years), male and female;
HIV-1 infected;
Using a standard three-drug-based regimen for at least 24 weeks. Based on clinical decision making* decide if patients can be treated with the DTG+3TC simplified scheme for a variety of reasons, such as (but not limited to): patients cannot tolerate the conventional three-drug treatment scheme, renal insufficiency, osteoporosis, bone marrow suppression and for other reasons patients cannot use the conventional three-drug treatment scheme;
Initial HIV-1 RNA viral load and CD4 cell count were unlimited.
Disqualifiers
Has participated in other clinical trials of HIV vaccine or other drug trials in the past three months;
Researchers decide if patients could/not complete the scheduled follow-up (factors to consider such as weak, poor compliance, etc.).
Has a clear history of DTG or 3TC allergy;
HBsAg and/or HBV-DNA positive;
Trial population
Patients who are prescribed to take the simplified therapy regimen (DTG+ 3TC) because they are unable to tolerate the side-effect of or are not fit for the first-line free regimen in China, for example renal failure or osteoporosis, according to clinical judgment, no matter of the HIV-RNA viral loads and CD4 cell counts.
