Switching to fixed-dose bictegravir, emtricitabine, and tenofovir alafenamide from dolutegravir plus abacavir and lamivudine in virologically suppressed adults with HIV-1: 48 week results of a randomised, double-blind, multicentre, active-controlled, phase 3, non-inferiority trial.

Summary

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of switching from a regimen of dolutegravir (DTG) and abacavir/lamivudine (ABC/3TC) or a fixed dose combination (FDC) of abacavir/dolutegravir/lamivudine (ABC/DTG/3TC) to a FDC of bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (B/F/TAF) versus continuing DTG and ABC/3TC as the FDC ABC/DTG/3TC in virologically suppressed Human Immunodeficiency Virus- 1 (HIV-1) infected adults.
