Non-Inferiority of Switching to DTG/3TC FDC in HIV-1 Infected Adults
Explore subgroup analyses from the TANGO study showing that switching to DTG/3TC Fixed-Dose Combination (FDC) is non-inferior to continuing a TAF-based regimen through 48 weeks. The study evaluates virologic success, demographics, and disease characteristics, supporting the use of a two-drug regimen for PLWHIV.

Background Two-drug regimens (2DRs) reduce the number of drugs for PLWHIV who need lifelong ART1 In the GEMINI-1 and GEMINI-2 studies, DTG + 3TC was non-inferior to DTG + TDF/FTC in HIV-1 infected treatment-naive adults at Week 482 and Week 963 The results led to the marketing authorization of DTG/3TC fixed-dose combination (FDC; DOVATO) as a once-daily, single-tablet 2DR by the US Food and Drug Administration and the European Medicines Agency TANGO is an ongoing phase III, non-inferiority trial evaluating efficacy and safety of a switch to DTG/3TC FDC in HIV-1 infected adults with virologic suppression on a 3- or 4-drug TAF-based regimen Here we present a key secondary endpoint from the TANGO study: Snapshot virologic success by baseline third agent class, demographics, and disease characteristics at Week 48 1.

Conclusions Switching to DTG/3TC FDC was non-inferior to remaining on a TAF-based regimen through Week 48 in ART-experienced, virologically suppressed adults Efficacy by subgroup was consistent with overall Week 48 study results No confirmed virologic withdrawals in the DTG/3TC group Zero resistance development in the DTG/3TC group The safety profile of DTG/3TC FDC was consistent with the DTG and 3TC labels Improvements in lipids (TC, LDL, and TC/HDL) and insulin resistance were observed in the DTG/3TC group Switching to DTG/3TC from a TAF-based regimen is effective in maintaining virologic suppression regardless of baseline regimen, patient, or disease characteristics 17th European AIDS Conference; November 6-9, 2019; Basel, Switzerland Ait-Khaled et al.
