About this study

Official title: Changes in Weight After Switch to Dolutegravir/Lamivudine or Doravirine/Tenofovir/Lamivudine Compared to Continued Treatment With Dolutegravir/Tenofovir/Lamivudine for Virologically Suppressed HIV Infection. AVERTAS-2

Randomized controlled parallel open-label study in persons living with HIV. The aim is to study weight changes in patients switching from a dolutegravir and tenofovir disoproxil containing regimen to either a dolutegravir or tenofovir disoproxil free regimen.

Read the detailed description

Randomized controlled parallel open-label study in persons living with HIV and at least 6 month of treatment with dolutegravir/abacavir/lamivudine prior to inclusion.

Participants (n=126) are randomized to continue 3 drug-regimen dolutegravir/tenofovir disoproxil/lamivudine (control) or switch to two-drug regimen with dolutegravir/lamivudine (intervention 1) or to three-drug regimen with doravirine/tenofovir disoproxil/lamivudine. Follow-up is 48 weeks. Data is collected at baseline and week 48.

Primary outcome is changes in weight from baseline of more than 2 kg.

Secondary outcomes are virus persistent viral suppression, changes in body composition and metabolism, changes in bone metabolisme and renal function, changes in liver elasticity and fat infiltration.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Dolutegravir/Lamivudine 50 MG-300 MG Oral Tablet [DOVATO] and Doravirine/Lamivudine/Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate 100 MG-300 MG-300 MG Oral Tablet [DELSTRIGO] in people with Hiv and HIV Infections, run by Thomas Benfield at 5 sites in Denmark.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 May 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in Denmark. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Karen BH Pedersen, MD (+4521623027, karen.brorup.heje.pedersen@regionh.dk), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Body weight (time frame: 48 Weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04903847, which also lists 14 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 27 May 2021.
