Summary

Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate/lamivudine/dolutegravir (TLD) is being used more widely across the world to treat HIV. This is an observational study (a type of study in which participants are observed and certain outcomes are measured). The aim of this study is to observe how successful TLD is at treating HIV, in the following groups of people:

  • People switching to TLD, after taking anti-HIV medication that contains a nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) drug (such as Efavirenz or Nevirapine) (Group 1).
  • People switching to TLD, after taking anti-HIV medication that contains a boosted protease inhibitor (PI) drug (such as Lopinavir or Atazanavir) (Group 2).
  • People taking TLD and receiving medication for TB that includes the drug rifampicin (RIF) (Group 3). These people must be starting one or both of these medications when they enter the study.
  • People starting TLD who have not taken anti-HIV medication before (Group 4).

Another goal of this study is to use genetic testing of the virus (HIV) to see how often HIV is resistant to TLD. Genetic testing of the virus is one way to see if the TLD medication is not working to treat a person's HIV infection.

Eligibility

 Yes No Not Sure

Inclusion Criteria

Receiving care at a PEPFAR-supported site
Documentation of HIV-1 infection acceptable to the local PEPFAR-supported program to allow ART to be initiated or continued
Ability and willingness of participant or legal guardian/representative to provide informed consent to participate in the study
Expectation that the participant will receive care within the local PEPFAR-supported program and will be able to be followed for study evaluations for at least 6 months and ideally for 36 months
Group 1 participants: Receipt of an NNRTI-containing first-line ART regimen from a clinic in a PEPFAR-supported country for at least 6 consecutive calendar months prior to study entry. NOTE: ART treatment gaps are allowed, but treatment gaps should not exceed 14 consecutive days in the 6 calendar months prior to study entry
Group 2 participants: Receipt of a boosted PI-containing second-line ART regimen from a clinic in a PEPFAR-supported country for at least 6 consecutive calendar months prior to study entry. NOTE: ART treatment gaps are allowed, but treatment gaps should not exceed 14 consecutive days in the 6 calendar months prior to study entry
Group 4 participants: No current or prior ART treatment. NOTE: Women who received ART regimens only during pregnancy and/or breastfeeding for prevention of mother-to-child transmission but who have not taken any ART drugs for at least 6 calendar months immediately prior to study entry will be allowed
For Group 1, 2, and 4 participants, expected initiation of TLD taken once daily within 7 days after study entry. NOTE: Group 1, 2, and 4 participants may not be on, or expected to start, RIF-containing TB treatment at the time of study entry
For Group 3 participants already on RIF-containing TB treatment but not on TLD at study entry, expected initiation of TLD taken once daily with an additional daily dose of DTG 50 mg. This must be started within 7 days after study entry AND within 56 days after the start of RIF-containing TB treatment. These participants may be ART-naïve, or may be switching from a first- or second-line ART regimen. NOTE: For ART-naïve participants who start RIF-containing TB treatment first and then start TLD at a later date, screening must occur within 14 days before the intended TLD start date
For Group 3 participants not already on RIF-containing TB treatment but already on TLD at study entry, receipt of TLD for at least 6 consecutive calendar months prior to study entry AND expected initiation of RIF-containing TB treatment within 7 days after study entry
For Group 3 participants not already on RIF-containing TB treatment or TLD at study entry, expected initiation of TLD and RIF-containing TB treatment within 7 days after study entry. These participants may be ART-naïve, or may be switching from a first- or second-line ART regimen
For Group 1 participants, HIV-1 RNA >1000 copies/mL obtained as part of standard of care or with a real-time test within 12 weeks prior to study entry at any network-approved non-US laboratory that operates in accordance with Good Clinical Laboratory Practices (GCLP) and participates in appropriate external quality assurance programs
For Group 2 participants, HIV-1 RNA obtained as part of standard of care or with a real-time test within 12 weeks prior to study entry at any network-approved non-US laboratory that operates in accordance with Good Clinical Laboratory Practices (GCLP) and participates in appropriate external quality assurance programs
If Group 2b reaches its enrollment target of 360 participants, the protocol team will notify sites that the following criteria will be implemented: For Group 2 participants, an HIV-1 RNA >1000 copies/mL will need to be obtained as part of standard of care or with a real-time test within 12 weeks prior to study entry
If Group 2a reaches its enrollment target of 180 participants, the protocol team will notify sites that the following criteria will be implemented: For Group 2 participants, an HIV-1 RNA ≤1000 copies/mL will need to be obtained as part of standard of care or with a real-time test within 12 weeks prior to study entry

Exclusion Criteria

Prior enrollment in any group in this study
For Group 3 participants, already on concomitant TLD and RIF-containing TB treatment prior to study entry
Weight ≤30 kg
For participants already on ART in Groups 1, 2, and 3, known to have had an ART interruption encompassing the entire 14 day window (≥14 consecutive days) immediately prior to study entry
For Group 3, if a participant is already taking TLD at the time of study entry, HIV-1 RNA >1000 copies/mL within the past 9 months while taking TLD with no subsequent HIV-1 RNA ≤1000 copies/mL
For Group 2 participants with HIV-1 RNA >1000 copies/mL from a host country in which treatment guidelines require a genotypic test prior to switching patients on a boosted PI-containing second-line ARV regimen to TLD, 65R RT mutation within 12 weeks prior to study entry
