Switch to Dolutegravir-Lamivudine vs Continued TAF-Based Regimen in HIV Treatment
In this study comparing Dolutegravir-Lamivudine vs Continued TAF-Based Regimen in HIV treatment, findings at 48 weeks showed a high virologic response rate with minimal resistance mutations. There was also a notable difference in renal function markers between the two groups.

Switch to Dolutegravir-Lamivudine versus Continued TAF-Based 3-Drug ART TANGO
Switch to DTG-3TC versus Continued TAF-Based Baseline Regimen TANGO: Design Design: Open-label, non-inferiority trial in adults with suppressed HIV RNA while taking a 3- or 4-drug tenofovir alafenamide (TAF)-based regimen, randomized to switch to fixed-dose dolutegravir-lamivudine (DTG- 3TC) or continue the baseline regimen Switch Group Dolutegravir-Lamivudine (n = 369) Inclusion Criteria - Adults with suppressed HIV RNA >6 months - Taking 3- or 4-drug TAF-based ART - No history of virologic failure - No major NRTI resistance; no INSTI resistance - No hepatitis B or C Continue Baseline Regimen Group TAF-Based 3- or 4-Drug Regimen (n = 372) Regimens - Dolutegravir-lamivudine (50/300mg) daily - TAF-based 3- or 4-drug baseline regimen Source: van Wyk J, et al.

Switch to DTG-3TC versus Continued TAF-Based Baseline Regimen TANGO: Conclusions Conclusion: Dolutegravir-lamivudine was was noninferior in maintaining virologic suppression vs a TAF-based regimen at week 48, with no virologic failure or emergent resistance reported with DTG/3TC, supporting it as a simplification strategy for virologically suppressed people with HIV-1.
