Abacavir sulfate/lamivudine (ABC/3TC) and tenofovir DF/emtricitabine (TDF/FTC) are widely used nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors for initial HIV-1 treatment. This is the first completed, randomized clinical trial to directly compare efficacy, safety, tolerability of these agents, each in combination with lopinavir/ritonavir antiretroviral-naive patients.Six hundred eighty-eight antiretroviral-naive, HIV-1-infected patients were this double-blind, placebo-matched, multicenter,...
The Phase III VIKING-3 study demonstrated that dolutegravir (DTG) 50 mg twice daily was efficacious in antiretroviral therapy (ART)-experienced subjects harbouring raltegravir- and/or elvitegravir-resistant HIV-1. VIKING-4 (ING116529) included a placebo-controlled 7-day monotherapy phase to demonstrate short-term antiviral activity attributable DTG.VIKING-4 is randomized, double-blind therapy-experienced adults with integrase inhibitor (INI)-resistant virus randomized DTG or placebo while...
Background: Dolutegravir/Lamivudine is recommended for initial antiretroviral therapy (ART) in adults living with HIV-1; however, no clinical trials have assessed this regimen adolescents, a potentially more challenging population to treat. We evaluated efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of dolutegravir/lamivudine as ART adolescents HIV-1. Setting: Nine centers Thailand, Kenya, South Africa. Methods: In the single-arm, open-label, phase 3b DANCE study (NCT03682848), naive aged ≥12 <18...

Dolutegravir (DTG) is a once-daily HIV-1 integrase inhibitor approved for the treatment of infection in adults and children from 4 weeks age. The posology DTG has been driven by exposure-matching relative to adult dose efficacy safety. However, higher variability pediatric exposures raises concern that may not be reliably extrapolated trials. Therefore, we evaluated relationship between exposure virologic response children.
Background. Highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) has brought about rapid declines in HIV-1 RNA concentrations and an increase CD4+ counts HIV-1-infected children. These changes are often accompanied by clinical improvement; however, the extent to which immune reconstitution occurs is not known. Design. We compared two cohorts (n = 35) of children evaluate effects HAART on recovery. Cohort 1 (C1) included clinically well receiving with a CD4 >22% at study initiation. Before all had...
ABSTRACT We evaluated the performance characteristics of a new, real-time nucleic acid sequence-based amplification (NASBA) assay that incorporates molecular beacon technology for detection human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). The quantitative results were comparable to those obtained with three leading commercially available assays. analytical sensitivity was 37 IU/ml. NASBA detected clinically relevant recombinant viruses and all group M HIV-1 subtypes.
Background. Few data are available concerning the impact of antiretroviral resistance in response to antiviral therapy children. We evaluated development genotypic and clinical outcome a subgroup children involved prospective trial (Pediatric AIDS Clinical Trials Group Protocol 152). Design. studied 26 matched case/control pairs. A case was defined as having disease progression during study period; controls did not have progression. Cases were by age CD4+ cell count at baseline. Matched...
