A randomized, active-controlled, open-label Phase 3 clinical study to assess a switch to Doravirin/Islatravir (DOR/ISL 100 mg/0.25 mg) once daily in participants with HIV-1 infection who are virologically suppressed on antiretroviral therapy.
Descrizione riassuntiva dello studio
The entire study is expected to last approximately 2.5 years and approximately 501 patients will participate worldwide. The aim of this study is to investigate the safety, efficacy, and tolerability of switching from an existing HIV therapy to the study medication DOR/ISL. Active treatment phase: Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups (i.e., randomized), with twice as many people included in the first group as in the second group (2:1): - Group 1: Switch to DOR/ISL for approximately two years - Group 2: The existing antiretroviral therapy will continue for one more year, after which there will be a switch to a one-year treatment with DOR/ISL. About 6 weeks after the active treatment phase, participants will be invited for a follow-up visit at the study center.

Intervento studiato
After thorough information, precise eligibility assessment, and collection of medical history, patients will be included in the study. Thereafter, participants will attend visits at the study center as agreed with the study physician (approximately 12 times during the two-year active treatment phase).
During the study visits, various measures and examinations may occur, such as: blood or urine sample collection, completion of questionnaires, examination of vital signs (pulse, blood pressure, etc.) as well as an electrocardiogram (ECG).
Administration of the study medication DOR/ISL:
DOR/ISL is a single tablet and is taken orally once daily.

Malattie studiate
Adult study participants with an HIV-1 infection will be examined, who have been virologically suppressed for at least three months on current therapy and show no signs of treatment failure (HIV: Human Immunodeficiency Virus). The number of people infected with HIV worldwide was estimated at over 38 million in 2021. The number of new HIV infections in 2021 is also very high at 1.5 million people worldwide. HIV is still not curable. Untreated, an HIV infection leads to AIDS and ultimately death. Due to the good medication options available today, it is now possible to control the virus so effectively that the health status, as well as the quality of life and life expectancy of those affected, improve significantly. As these therapies are usually applied over a very long time, long-term tolerability and safety have become increasingly important factors. The experimental medication in this study is a tablet containing two active ingredients: Doravirin and Islatravir (DOR/ISL). Doravirin is a new active ingredient of the NNRTI class already approved in most countries, while Islatravir is a promising, yet unapproved substance that is to be investigated as a combination partner of Doravirin in this Phase 3 study. DOR/ISL has the potential to simplify HIV therapy for patients due to its new mechanism of action and also appears to have a favorable safety profile.
(BASEC)
• HIV-1 infection with an HIV viral load of < 50 HIV-1 RNA copies/ml at the time of the study eligibility test • Stable, uninterrupted oral combination therapy (of two or three medications) with at least 3 months of stable suppression of viral load to below 50 HIV-1 RNA copies/ml prior to signing the patient information • No prior failure of an antiviral treatment (BASEC)
Criteri di esclusione
• HIV-2 infection, active HBV infection, or chronic HCV infection with laboratory values corresponding to cirrhosis • Active AIDS-defining opportunistic infection within 30 days prior to screening • Hypersensitivity or other contraindication to any of the study medications (BASEC)
