A 48-WEEK trial evaluating the
investigational integrase inhibitor
dolutegravir in treatment-naive
adults with HIV-1 infection, has
found that the proportion of study
participants who were virologically
suppressed (HIV-1 RNA 100,000 c/mL), the response rates
were 82% for DTG vs. 75% for RAL.
Prespecified secondary analyses
also supported non-inferiority of
dolutegravir to raltegravir; the
proportion of subjects without
treatment-related discontinuations
was 93% on dolutegravir and 92%
on raltegravir.
Median CD4 increases were also
similar in both groups (+230 cells/
mm3).
Virologic failure was also found to
occur in 5% of DTG subjects and 7%
of RAL subjects.The above article was sent to subscribers in Pharmacy Daily's issue from 30 Jul 12 To see the full newsletter, see the embedded issue below or CLICK HERE to download Pharmacy Daily from 30 Jul 12
