IDOLTIB: Impact of DOlutegravir+Lamivudine Simplification on HIV-1 Reservoirs
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
For a few years, there has been a keen interest of clinicians and patients for "lighter" antiretroviral strategies based on two- or even single drug regimens rather than the canonical triple therapy, both as initial and maintenance therapy, despite the possibility that ongoing viral replication may occur in some patients under triple-therapy.
We will therefore propose such simplification strategy (DTG/3TC) while maintaining triple-therapy (DTG/ABC/3TC) in a control group and will perform an in depth analysis of the replication-competent reservoir in blood and in tissues as well as measurements of residual viremia and immune chronic activation/inflammation.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: 2DR Switch from 3 drug regimen (DTG+ABC+3TC) to 2 drug regimen (DTG+3TC) |
Drug: Treatment simplification (dolutegravir lamivudine)
Switch from 3 drug regimen (DTG/ABC/3TC) to 2 drug regimen

No Intervention: 3DR Continued 3 drug regimen treatment (DTG+ABC+3TC) |
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- The impact of dual-therapy Dolutegravir (DTG) + Lamivudine (3TC) at the level of replication-competent reservoir (RCR) in blood and in tissues. [1 year]
Measurements of RCR in the blood and tissues (rectal biopsies)
Secondary Outcome Measures
- The impact of dual-therapy Dolutegravir (DTG) + Lamivudine (3TC) on residual viremia. [1 year]
- The impact of dual-therapy Dolutegravir (DTG) + Lamivudine (3TC) at the level of chronic immune activation/inflammation. [1 year]
- The correlation between blood and tissues RCR in a high number of patients under suppressive antiretroviral therapy. [1 year]
- The level of clonal expansion in the blood and tissue RCR [1 year]
- The correlation between the size of the blood/tissues RCR and the level of chronic immune activation/inflammation. [1 year]
