About this trial
This is a single-arm, open-label, effectiveness study designed to evaluate the use of Tenofovir, Lamivudine, and Dolutegravir in people with newly diagnosed HIV-1 infection initiating first-line Antiretroviral Therapy with Cabotegravir-Long-acting Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis exposure in the preceding 12 months. Participants will be followed up for a period of 12 months from enrolment.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Male or female.
Age ≥ 15 years, inclusive, at the time of signing the informed consent.
Body weight ≥ 35 kg.
Confirmed HIV-1 infection.
Disqualifiers
Any previous exposure to DTG.
Concurrent or recent (within the preceding 3 months) participation in another interventional clinical trial with a compound likely to interfere with any of the investigational medicinal products.
Known hypersensitivity or specific contraindications to the use of any of the active drugs in the treatment arms or similar compounds.

Trial design
Single group
Treatments tested in this trial
TLD - Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate / Lamivudine / Dolutegravir
DrugDolutegravir, lamivudine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate tablets, a combination of dolutegravir (integrase strand transfer inhibitor \[INSTI\]), lamivudine, and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (both nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors), is indicated as a complete regimen for the treatment of HIV-1 infection in adults and pediatric patients weighing at least 35 kg
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
To evaluate the efficacy of TLD as first-line antiretroviral therapy (ART) in participants with HIV-1 infection and CAB-LA PrEP exposure in the past 12 months
Proportion of participants with virologic suppression (plasma HIV-1 RNA levels \< 50 cp/mL) at Month 6
Secondary outcomes
To describe the epidemiology (i.e., prevalence and correlates) of HIV drug resistance patterns in participants with HIV-1 infection and prior CAB-LA PrEP exposure
Proportion of participants with unsuppressed viral loads (HIV-1 RNA levels ≥ 50 cp/mL and ≥ 1000 cp/mL) at Month 6 and Month 12
To describe the epidemiology (i.e., prevalence and correlates) of HIV drug resistance patterns in participants with HIV-1 infection and prior CAB-LA PrEP exposure
Time to virologic suppression
To describe the epidemiology (i.e., prevalence and correlates) of HIV drug resistance patterns in participants with HIV-1 infection and prior CAB-LA PrEP exposure
Prevalence of HIV genotypic resistance to NRTI and INSTI drug classes at screening (baseline)
To describe the epidemiology (i.e., prevalence and correlates) of HIV drug resistance patterns in participants with HIV-1 infection and prior CAB-LA PrEP exposure
Comparative prevalence of INSTI drug resistance in those with HIV and CAB-LA exposure and HIV acquisition deemed to occur prior to initiation of PrEP, during PrEP therapy, or after cessation of therapy
Other outcomes

Changes from baseline in BMI throughout the study
To conduct investigation on the effects of IMP on metabolic health over 12 months
Changes from baseline in lipids throughout the study
To conduct investigation on the effects of IMP on metabolic health over 12 months
