About

Phase III trial evaluating doravirine as an alternative to dolutegravir in treatment naïve people living with HIV-1 infection.

Full description

Phase III, multicenter, open-label, randomized, non-inferiority clinical trial which aims to assess the non-inferiority of doravirine in association with tenofovir and lamivudine, as compared to dolutegravir in association with tenofovir and lamivudine or emtricitabine.

This trial will be implemented in Brazil, Cambodia, Cameroon, Côte d'Ivoire, France and Mozambique.

Six hundred and ten patients will be enrolled and followed for 96 weeks after entry in the trial (=ART initiation).

Primary endpoint will assess virological efficacy at Week 48, measured by the proportion of subjects achieving HIV-1 RNA <50 copies/mL, in HIV-1 infected, treatment-naive subjects with pre-treatment viral load (HIV-1 RNA) ≥ 1,000 copies/mL.

Secondary endpoints are planned at W48 and W96.

Enrollment: 610 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18+ years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

• Have a plasma HIV-1 RNA ≥1000 copies/mL within 30 days prior to the randomization,
• Have HIV treatment indication based on physician assessment according to local treatment guidelines
• Be naïve to antiretroviral therapy (ART) including investigational antiretroviral agents
• For women or transgender men of childbearing potential i.e. of childbearing age who are not menopausal, or permanently sterilized (e.g. tubal occlusion, hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy) or not refraining from sexual activity: negative urinary test for pregnancy and acceptance to use contraceptive methods

Non-inclusion Criteria:

• Has received oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) or post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) in the past three months or has had no negative HIV-1 serology performed

• Has documented or known resistance or possible resistance to study drugs (in France and where national guidelines recommend screening for primary resistance before starting first-line ART) as defined by the ANRS MIE AC43 Resistance group

• Has the following laboratory values at screening visit, within 30 days prior to the randomization:

  • AST (SGOT) and ALT (SGPT) >4.0 x upper limit of normal
  • Estimated glomerular filtration rate at time of screening <60 mL/min/1.73m², based on the CKD-EPI equation

• Has participated in a study with an investigational compound/device within 30 days prior to signing informed consent or anticipates participating in such a study involving an investigational compound/device during the course of this study.

• Has used systemic immunosuppressive therapy or immune modulators within 30 days prior to treatment in this study or is anticipated to need them during the course of the study

• Requires or is anticipated to require any of the prohibited or contraindicated medications noted in the trial protocol.

• Has significant hypersensitivity or other contraindication to any of the components of the study drugs.

• Is pregnant, breastfeeding, or expecting to conceive at any time during the study.

• Has any condition which might, in the investigator's opinion, compromise the safety of treatment and/or patient's adherence to study procedure.

• Is a person under guardianship or deprived of freedom by a judicial or administrative decision
