Switch to DTG + 3TC vs Continued 3-Drug ART ASPIRE
This study compares switching to Dolutegravir + Lamivudine vs continuing standard 3-drug antiretroviral therapy in individuals with suppressed HIV RNA levels. Results show non-inferiority of the 2-drug regimen and no emergence of drug resistance in participants. Source: Taiwo B et al. Clin Infect Dis 2018;66:1794-7.

Switch to DTG + 3TC versus Continued 3-Drug Antiretroviral Therapy ASPIRE: Background Background: Open-label, multicenter, pilot randomized trial that enrolled persons with suppressed HIV RNA levels and compared switch to 2-drug regimen versus continuing standard 3-drug antiretroviral therapy Switch Group Dolutegravir + Lamivudine (n = 44) Inclusion Criteria: - Adults (age >18 years) with HIV - HIV RNA <50 copies/mL at least twice over 48 weeks - Screening HIV RNA <20 copies/mL - Taking any 3-drug ART regimen - No history of virologic failure - No known NRTI or INSTI resistance mutations - No chronic HBV - CrCl 50 mL/min Continue Group Continue 3-drug ART (n = 45) Source: Taiwo B, et al.

Switch to DTG + 3TC versus Continued 3-Drug Antiretroviral Therapy ASPIRE: Conclusion Conclusion: In this randomized pilot clinical trial, dolutegravir plus lamivudine was noninferior to continuation of standard 3-drug maintenance antiretroviral therapy. There was no emergence of drug resistance in the participant who experienced virologic failure while receiving dolutegravir plus lamivudine. Source: Taiwo B, et al. Clin Infect Dis. 2018;66:1794-7.
