A Randomized Trial of Dolutegravir Plus Darunavir/Cobicistat as a Switch Strategy in HIV-1-Infected Patients With Resistance to at Least 2 Antiretroviral Classes. | LitMetric

Background: Suppressed patients with drug-resistant HIV-1 require effective and simple antiretroviral therapy to maintain treatment adherence and viral suppression.

Methods: This randomized, open-label, noninferiority, multicenter pilot study involved HIV-infected adults who met the following criteria: confirmed HIV-1 RNA <50 copies/mL for ≥6 months preceding the study randomization, treatment with at least 3 antiretroviral drugs, and a history of drug resistance mutations against at least 2 antiretroviral classes but remaining fully susceptible to darunavir (DRV) and integrase inhibitors. Participants were randomized 1:1 to switch to dolutegravir (DTG; 50 mg once per day) plus DRV boosted with cobicistat (DRV/c; 800/150 mg once per day; 2D group) or continue with their baseline regimen (standard-of-care [SOC] group). The primary endpoint was the proportion of patients with HIV-1 RNA <50 copies/mL at week 48 relative to time to loss of virologic response, with a noninferiority margin set at -12.5%. Virologic failure was defined as confirmed HIV-1 RNA ≥50 copies/mL or a single determination of HIV-1 RNA >50 copies/mL followed by antiretroviral therapy discontinuation.

Results: Forty-five participants were assigned to the 2D group and 44 to the SOC group. Time to loss of virologic response showed no difference in the proportion maintaining HIV-1 RNA <50 copies/mL at week 48: 39 of 45 (86.7%; 95% CI, 73.21%-94.95%) in the 2D group vs 42 of 44 (95.4%; 95% CI, 84.53%-99.44%) in the SOC group (log-rank = .159) with an estimated difference of -8.7 (95% CI, -22.72 to 5.14). Only 2 (4.5%) in the SOC group experienced virologic failure, and 3 participants from the 2D group experienced adverse events leading to treatment discontinuation.

Conclusions: In suppressed patients with at least 2 resistant antiretroviral classes, noninferiority could not be demonstrated by fully active DRV/c plus DTG. Nevertheless, there were no unexpected adverse events or virologic failure. DRV/c plus DTG may be considered a once-daily therapy option only for well-selected patients.  ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT03683524).
