About
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability of doravirine (also called MK-1439 or DOR) and doravirine/lamivudine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (also called MK-1439A or DOR/3TC/TDF) in HIV-1-infected children and adolescents.
Full description
This study evaluated the pharmacokinetics (PK), safety, and tolerability of DOR and DOR/3TC/TDF in HIV-1-infected children and adolescents.
This study was conducted in two cohorts: Cohort 1 and Cohort 2. At study entry (Day 0), participants in Cohort 1 received a single dose of DOR added to their current HIV regimens. (The antiretroviral drugs in their current HIV regimens were not be provided by the study.) Participants in Cohort 1 underwent intensive PK evaluations, and had an additional study visit at Week 2.
The study team in consultation with a Study Monitoring Committee evaluated data from Cohort 1 before enrolling participants in Cohort 2. Participants in Cohort 2 received DOR/3TC/TDF once daily from Day 0 through Week 96. They had study visits at Weeks 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48, 64, 80, and 96. Study visits included physical examinations, PK evaluations, and blood and urine collection.

Inclusion criteria
Cohort 1
Cohort 2 ART-naive
Note: For individuals that were re-screened, the genotypic resistance test did not need to be repeated.
Cohort 2 ART-experienced
Note: This group of ARV-experienced, virologically suppressed participants were only enrolled once there was data from the adult switch studies indicating virologic efficacy and safety (see the protocol for more information). Sites were informed via a Clarification Memorandum when ART-experienced participants could be enrolled. A single, unconfirmed HIV-1 RNA result greater than or equal to the level of quantification but less than 500 copies/mL, between 3 and 15 months, prior to enrollment was not exclusionary as long as the other criteria for documentation of virologic suppression were met.
Exclusion criteria
• Evidence of decompensated liver disease manifested by the presence of or a history of ascites, esophageal or gastric variceal bleeding, hepatic encephalopathy, or other signs or symptoms of advanced liver diseases.
Note: Individuals with chronic hepatitis B who had grade 2 or lower ALT and AST and had no significant impairment of hepatic synthetic function (significant impairment of hepatic synthetic function was defined as a serum albumin less than 2.8 mg/dL or an international normalized ratio (INR) greater than 1.7 in the absence of another explanation for the abnormal laboratory value) were eligible.
• For Cohort 2 only, detectable hepatitis C virus (HCV) by RNA PCR or current or planned treatment with direct antiviral agent for HCV.
Note: HCV antibody positivity but undetectable by HCV RNA PCR results were permitted.
Note: Systemic corticosteroids (e.g., prednisone or equivalent up to 2 mg/kg/day) for replacement therapy or short courses (less than or equal to 30 days) were permitted. See the protocol for a complete list of prohibited medications.
