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 volunteers

Qualifiers

Male or female.

Age ≥ 15 years, inclusive, at the time of signing the informed consent.

Body weight ≥ 35 kg.

Confirmed HIV-1 infection.

Disqualifiers

Trial design

Design model

Single group

Treatments tested in this trial

  • TLD - Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate / Lamivudine / Dolutegravir

    Drug

    Dolutegravir, 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

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

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

Time frame
At 6 Months

Secondary outcomes

1

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

Time frame
6 and 12 Months
2

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

Time frame
12 Months
3

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)

Time frame
12 Months
4

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

Time frame
