Randomized, Open-label, Phase III Trial Comparing a Dual Nucleoside Analogues Strategy Preceded by a Triple Therapy Induction Period to an Immediate Strategy With Dolutegravir Plus Lamivudine in Antiretriviral naïve People Living With HIV With Viral Load < 50000 cp/mL and CD4 Cells >300/mm3
Randomized, Open-label, Phase III Trial Comparing a Dual Nucleoside Analogues Strategy Preceded by a Triple Therapy Induction Period to an Immediate Strategy With Dolutegravir Plus Lamivudine in Antiretriviral naïve People Living With HIV With Viral Load < 50000 cp/mL and CD4 Cells >300/mm3
The purpose of this trial is to demonstrate at W48 the non-inferiority of a dual nucleoside analogues strategy with tenofovir (TDF) or tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) plus emtricitabine (FTC) or lamivudine (3TC) preceded by a 16 week induction period with TDF or TAF plus FTC or 3TC plus an integrase inhibitor (INI) relative to an immediate 2-DR strategy with dolutegravir plus 3TC in HIV-infected antiretroviral therapy (ARV) naïve participants with CD4 cells count greater than 300/mm3 and a low viral load defined as plasma HIV RNA strictly lower than 50 000 cp/mL
ANRS 173 ALTAR is a multicenter, comparative, international, open label, phase III randomized trial aiming at evaluating the non-inferiority of a TRI-BI (tritherapy-bitherapy) strategy (includes a 16 week - induction phase with 2 NRTI and a once daily integrase inhibitor followed by a bitherapy with TDF or TAF / XTC*) in its capacity to achieve viral suppression at week 48 versus immediate BI (bitherapy) strategy (DTG/3TC) in participants naïve to antiretroviral therapy with plasma HIV RNA strictly less than 50 000 copies/mL and CD4 cells count above 300/mm3.
