Registration Number
NCT04019873
Lead Sponsor
ViiV Healthcare
Brief Summary

Dolutegravir (DTG) is a well-tolerated 2nd generation integrase strand transfer inhibitor (INSTI); rilpivirine (RPV) is a well-tolerated non- nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTI) and lamivudine (3TC) is a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs). This study aims to gather the real-world evidence to evaluate effectiveness of the two-drug regimen (2DR). This is a multi-site observational study in subjects who have started and/or who plan to initiate 2DR with an integrase inhibitor plus a reverse transcriptase inhibitor. The study does not require any changes to the routine standard of care that subjects receive. Approximately 500 eligible subjects will be included from potential investigational sites across Europe and data from them will be collected either retrospectively or prospectively.
