In the EFV arm, 10% withdrew due to adverse events versus 3% in the DTG arm influencing this difference DTG demonstrated rapid viral decay as compared to EFV 50 mg daily dose was chosen for phase 3 (maximum tolerated; all doses efficacious) No emerging resistance on DTG VIKING (2b) dosing study OL [22] Funding: ViiV Healthcare S: France,

resistance in ≥2 classes NRTI, NNRTI, or PI classes R: Cohort 1 (n = 27) daily dosing; Cohort 2 (n = 24) twice daily dosing. DTG was substituted for RAL continuing the failing background regimen to day 10. On day 11, an OBR with at least 1 active drug was substituted 1°EP: HIV RNA ≥0.7 log decrease from baseline or <400 c/mL at day 10. 2°EP: change from baseline HIV-1 RNA after day 11 on OBR, proportion of those suppressed (<400 or <50 c/mL), change in CD4+ cell count Results: 96% in cohort 2 versus 78% in cohort 1 reached 1°EP. At week 24 with an OBR, 75% (cohort 2) versus 41% (cohort 1) had VL <50 c/mL at 24 weeks. A higher IC50 fold change was noted in daily dosing, especially when Q148 + 2 additional mutations were present In treatment-experienced participants, twice-daily selleckchem DTG was better than daily dosing Mutation combination Q148 + ≥2 additional mutations was most likely to confer DTG resistance Phase 3 ART naive SPRING-2 R, DB NI 48 weeks [29] 96 weeks [30] Funding: ViiV Healthcare S: Canada, USA, Australia, Europe D: 85% Caucasian; 85% male, x = 36 years old IC: ≥18 years, naïve to ART, VL >1,000 c/mL; CD4+ >200 c/μL R (1:1): RAL BD compared to DTG QD with investigator-selected NRTI backbone ABC/3TC or TDF/FTC 1°EP: VL <50 c/mL at week 48 2°EP: CD4, severity of AE, lab parameters, evidence of resistance.
