Study summary

Dolutegravir (DTG) plus lamivudine (3TC) is a dual regimen combination recommended for both naïve and suppressed persons with HIV-1 infection1. However, data regarding the efficacy of this regimen in suppressed persons with history of past resistance or virologic failures is currently insufficient. This is a phase IIa, open-label, single arm, multicentric study.

The hypothesis is that therapy with DTG/3TC would be able to maintain viral control in HIV infected participants with prior history of 3TC resistance but without evidence of M184V/I resistance mutation in proviral DNA population sequencing at baseline. The investigators also hypothesize that archived minority 3TC resistance associated mutations detected by next-generation (NGS) sequencing prior to the switch would not have a significant impact on the efficacy of DTG/3TC.

Read the detailed description

This is a multicentre study, and it will be conducted at different healthcare centres in Spain. 117 participants will be recruited. A minimum of 30%-50% of the study population would be required to have historical RNA population genotype with confirmed M184V/I mutation.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(11)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

HIV

The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.

Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.

CD4 count

The number of CD4 cells, a type of white blood cell, in a given amount of blood. It is used to follow how well the immune system is doing in HIV.

Hepatitis B tests

Hepatitis B is a virus that infects the liver. These are separate tests: HBsAg positive usually means a current infection (a recent vaccination can briefly cause it too); total anti-HBc (HBcAb) positive means an infection now or in the past; HBV DNA measures how much virus is in the blood.

Some studies accept a past infection if HBV DNA is undetectable, sometimes with antiviral medicine during the study. Check what this study allows.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

Contraindication

A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.

Child-Pugh class

A score of how well the liver works in people with liver disease such as cirrhosis: class A is mild, B moderate and C severe.

ALT and AST (liver enzymes)

Two enzymes measured in a routine blood test of the liver. Higher levels can mean the liver is under strain or damaged. SGPT and SGOT are older names for ALT and AST.

Criteria usually give a limit as a multiple of the upper limit of normal (ULN), often higher when cancer has spread to the liver.

ULN (upper limit of normal)

The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.

“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.

Bilirubin

A yellow substance made when red blood cells are broken down, which the liver clears. A high level can mean a problem with the liver or the bile ducts.

Criteria often allow more for people with Gilbert’s syndrome, a harmless inherited condition that raises bilirubin.

Creatinine clearance (CrCl)

How quickly the kidneys clear creatinine, a waste product, from the blood. A study may estimate it from a blood test with age, weight and sex (often by the Cockcroft–Gault formula), or measure it using blood and urine collected over a set time. Given in mL/min; higher is better.

GFR and eGFR (kidney filtering)

GFR (glomerular filtration rate) is how much blood the kidneys filter each minute. It is usually estimated from a blood test — eGFR, by formulas such as CKD-EPI or MDRD — and some studies ask for it to be measured directly instead. Usually given in mL/min/1.73 m².

Check the method, the units and the minimum the study states. A value of 90 or above is in the normal-or-high range, but kidney damage can show in other tests too.

Results

Posted Sep 9, 2026
Limitations and caveats
The absence of 3TC resistance mutations in the proviral DNA Sanger population genotype does not guarantee the success of DTG/3TC treatment. However, based on the results from our pilot study, we believed that this was a reasonable working hypothesis. If any case of virologic failure (VF) had occurred, retrospective analysis using proviral DNA RT+INSTI NGS would allow the detection of any archived resistance minority variants present at baseline, which could therefore be the cause of failure.

Participant flow

Sixteen participants discontinued by the following reasons: two virological withdrawals (1 Confirmed Virologic Withdrawal \[CVW\], 1 Precautionary Virologic Withdrawal \[PVW\]), four adverse-event withdrawals, two investigator decisions, two protocol violations, two consent withdrawals, three lost to follow-up and one unrelated death from Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) at week 96.

Adverse events

Collected over From the signing of the ICF until the follow-up visit, an average of 96 weeks (100 weeks in case the participants with any ongoing adverse event or laboratory abnormality considered to be potentially harmful for the participant at week 96). Non-serious events are listed at a 5% frequency threshold.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Jul 2021 to primary completion in Jun 2023, 22 months.

Results were first posted in Sep 2026, 3 years 2 months after primary completion.

Of 65 non-industry phase 2 interventional studies under HIV Infections, half reached primary completion within 37 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 24 and three quarters within 74. This study's 22 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 99 studies reached it within 31 months; a quarter within 17 and three quarters within 58.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Sep 9, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
