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.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of treatment-naïve subjects with human immunodeficiency virus ribonucleic acid (HIV-RNA) levels <50 c/mL at Week 48Week 48

Number of treatment-naïve subjects with human immunodeficiency virus ribonucleic acid (HIV-RNA) levels \<50 c/mL at Week 48 will be assessed.

Number of subjects who lose virologic control within the first 24 weeks after switching to a 2-DRWeek 24

Virologic control is defined as 2 consecutive HIV RNA levels \>50 c/mL or HIV RNA \>50c/mL followed by study treatment discontinuation or missing value. Number of subjects who lose virologic control will be assessed using a Kaplan-Meier Method.

Number of treatment-naïve subjects with human immunodeficiency virus ribonucleic acid (HIV-RNA) levels <50 copies/milliliter (c/mL) at Week 24Week 24

Number of treatment-naïve subjects with human immunodeficiency virus ribonucleic acid (HIV-RNA) levels \<50 c/mL at Week 24 will be assessed.

Number of treatment-naïve subjects with human immunodeficiency virus ribonucleic acid (HIV-RNA) levels <50 c/mL at Week 96Week 96

Number of treatment-naïve subjects with human immunodeficiency virus ribonucleic acid (HIV-RNA) levels \<50 c/mL at Week 96 will be assessed.

Number of subjects who lose virologic control within the first 48 weeks after switching to a 2-DRWeek 48

Virologic control is defined as 2 consecutive HIV RNA levels \>50 c/mL or HIV RNA \>50c/mL followed by study treatment discontinuation or missing value. Number of subjects who lose virologic control will be assessed using a Kaplan-Meier Method.

Number of treatment-experienced subjects with HIV-RNA levels <50 c/mL at Week 96Week 96

Number of treatment-experienced subjects with HIV-RNA levels \<50 c/mL at Week 96 will be assessed.

Number of subjects who lose virologic control within the first 96 weeks after switching to a 2-DRWeek 96

Virologic control is defined as 2 consecutive HIV RNA levels \>50 c/mL or HIV RNA \>50c/mL followed by study treatment discontinuation or missing value. Number of subjects who lose virologic control will be assessed using a Kaplan-Meier Method.

Number of treatment-experienced subjects with HIV-RNA levels <50 c/mL at Week 24Week 24

Number of treatment-experienced subjects with HIV-RNA levels \<50 c/mL at Week 24 will be assessed.

Number of treatment-experienced subjects with HIV-RNA levels <50 c/mL at Week 48Week 48

Number of treatment-experienced subjects with HIV-RNA levels \<50 c/mL at Week 48 will be assessed.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of subjects with resistance profile in case of virologic failureUp to Week 96

Subjects with virologic rebound or virologic non-response will be considered as failure. Results of all HIV resistance tests performed before and during antiretroviral treatment will be evaluated to analyze resistance profile in case of virologic failure.

Number of subjects with HIV RNA >200 c/mL after 48 weeksWeek 48

Subjects will be assessed for HIV RNA \>200 c/mL after Week 48.

Number of subjects with HIV RNA >200 c/mL after 96 weeksWeek 96

Subjects will be assessed for HIV RNA \>200 c/mL after Week 96.

Number of subjects with low level viremiaUp to Week 96

Low level viremia is defined as virologic load \>50 and \<200 c/mL. Number of subjects with low level viremia will be assessed at indicated time points.

Number of subjects with stable switch while virologically suppressedUp to Week 96

A switching option for those with HIV RNA suppression on current treatment will be called as 'Stable switch'. Number of subjects with stable switch while virologically suppressed will be analyzed.

Time to virologic suppressionUp to Week 96

Virologic suppression is defined as viral load \< 50 c/mL at the end of 6months/12months/18 months or as pre-specified.

Number of subjects with HIV RNA >200 c/mL after 24 weeksWeek 24

Subjects will be assessed for HIV RNA \>200 c/mL after Week 24.

Time to virologic failureUp to Week 96

Time to virologic failure in the stable switch Population will be assessed. Subjects with virologic rebound or virologic non-response will be considered as failure.

Number of subjects with Switch after FailureUp to Week 96

Subjects with virologic rebound or virologic non-response will be considered as failure. Number of subjects with Switch after Failure will be analyzed.

Number of subjects switching for safety reasonsUp to Week 96

Number of subjects switching for safety reasons including tolerability, toxicity and other reasons will be evaluated.

Number of subjects with adverse events (AEs) and serious AEs (SAEs)Up to Week 96

An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a subject, temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. Any untoward event resulting in death, life threatening, requires hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in disability/incapacity, congenital anomaly/birth defect or any other situation according to medical or scientific judgment will be categorized as SAE.

cluster of differentiation (CD)4+ and CD8+ T cell countsUp to Week 96

All available CD4 and CD8 results since first starting 2DR treatment will be collected to analyze CD4+ and CD8+ T cell counts.

CD4/CD8 ratio at each time pointUp to Week 96

All available CD4 and CD8 results since first starting 2DR treatment will be collected to analyze CD4/CD8 ratio at each time point
