DTG AS A CORE AGENT TO BUILD A 2DR
DTG
Breadth and depth of data for DTG-based 3DRs demonstrating superiority in 5 Phase III
trials vs 5 different ART comparators and non-inferiority in 2 Phase III trials, and more than 2 million patient years of DTG exposure
in real-world clinical practice16–22
Low-dose, easy to co-formulate, booster free and few clinically
significant DDIs5
Favourable PK/PD profile with a long binding time to WT INI-DNA
complex, high IQ and long “tail”1–3
Rapid and potent antiviral activity4
Established short and long-term tolerability6–22
High barrier to resistance proven in clinical trials up to 3 years and real-world settings6–18

The GEMINI-1 and -2 studies evaluated DTG 50 mg + 3TC 300 mg*Patients met CVW criteria if a second and consecutive HIV-1 RNA value met any of the following definitions: decrease from baseline HIV-1 RNA of <1 log10 c/mL unless HIV-1 RNA <200 c/mL by Week 12, confirmed plasma HIV-1 RNA of ≥200 c/mL after confirmed consecutive HIV-1 RNA <200 c/mL2
†One non-CVW participant with reported non-adherence in the DTG + 3TC group developed M184V at Week 132 (HIV-1 RNA 61,927 c/mL) and R263R/K at Week 144 (HIV-1 RNA 135 c/mL), conferring a 1.8-fold change in susceptibility to DTG. The participant was withdrawn due to lack of efficacy after Week 144, switched to DTG + DRV/c, and regained virologic suppression1

PREVALENCE OF CLINICALLY RELEVANT TRANSMITTED* RESISTANCE TO SECOND-GENERATION INIS AMONG TREATMENT-NAÏVE PATIENTS IS VERY LOW
⁄ Similar findings were observed in a UK-based study, in which no major INI RAMs were detected as high-frequency variants (≥20%) among 655 ART-naïve PLHIV sampled between 2014 and 20162
Based on the low prevalence of clinically relevant transmitted resistance to second-generation INIs observed in the MeditRes analysis, it is very unlikely that a newly
diagnosed patient would present with baseline resistance to second-generation INIs1

Dosing: One tablet once daily with or without food. Use an additional 50mg tablet of dolutegravir approximately 12 hours after the dose of Dovato when co-administered with efavirenz, nevirapine, tipranavir/ritonavir, etravirine (without boosted PI), carbamazepine, oxcarbazepine, phenytoin, phenobarbital, St John’s Wort or rifampicin. Elderly: Limited data in 65+ yrs. Not recommended in patients with creatinine clearance < 50 mL/min. Caution in severe hepatic impairment. Contraindications: Hypersensitivity to any ingredient. Co-administration with substrates of OCT-2 with narrow therapeutic windows, such as fampridine. Special warnings/precautions: Risk of hypersensitivity reactions. Discontinue dolutegravir and other suspect agents immediately. Risks of osteonecrosis, immune reactivation syndrome. Monitor LFTs in Hepatitis B/C co-infection and ensure effective Hepatitis B therapy. Caution with metformin: monitor renal function and consider metformin dose adjustment. Use with etravirine requires boosted PI or increased dose of dolutegravir. Use with Mg/Al-containing antacids requires dosage separation. Use with calcium, multivitamins or iron also requires dosage separation if not taken at the same time with food. Use with cladribine or emtricitabine not recommended. When possible, avoid chronic co-administration of sorbitol or other osmotic acting alcohols (see SmPC section 4.5). If unavoidable, consider more frequent viral load monitoring. Fertility, pregnancy and lactation:Human fertility - no data; animal fertility - studies indicate no effects. Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) should be counselled about the potential risk of neural tube defects including consideration of effective contraceptive measures. If a woman plans pregnancy, the benefits and the risks of continuing treatment should be discussed with the patient. The safety and efficacy of a duel regime has not been studied in pregnancy. If a pregnancy is confirmed in the first trimester while on Dovato, the benefits and risks of continuing Dovato versus switching to another antiretroviral regimen should be discussed with the patient taking the gestational age and the critical time period of neural tube defect development into account (see SmPC section 4.6). There have been reports of mitochondrial dysfunction in HIV-negative infants exposed in utero and/or post-natally to nucleoside analogues. Do not breast-feed. Side effects: See SmPC for full details.

Not recommended in presence of integrase resistance. Use Tivicay 5 mg dispersible tablets for patients aged 4 weeks and above and weighing >3 kg, or for patients in whom filmcoated tablets are not appropriate. Refer to SmPC for 5 mg dispersible tablets for dosing as dispersible tablets are not bioequivalent to film-coated tablets. When co-administered with efavirenz, nevirapine, tipranavir/ritonavir, etravirine (without boosted PI), carbamazepine, oxcarbazepine, phenytoin, phenobarbital, St John’s Wort or rifampicin in the absence of integrase resistance, Tivicay 50mg should be administered twice daily in adults and in paediatric patients the weight-based once daily dose should be administered twice daily. In the presence of integrase class resistance, alternative combinations should be considered.Contraindications: Hypersensitivity to any ingredient. Co-administration with substrates of OCT-2 with narrow therapeutic windows, such as fampridine. Special warnings/precautions: Risk of hypersensitivity reactions. Discontinue dolutegravir and other suspect agents immediately if suspected. The two-drug regimen of dolutegravir and lamivudine is only suitable for the treatment of HIV-1 infection where there is no known or suspected resistance to the integrase inhibitor class, or to lamivudine. Risks of osteonecrosis, immune reactivation syndrome. Monitor blood lipids and glucose according to established HIV treatment guidelines. Monitor LFTs in Hepatitis B/C co-infection and ensure effective Hepatitis B therapy. Caution with metformin: monitor renal function and consider metformin dose adjustment. Use with etravirine requires boosted PI or increased dose of dolutegravir. Use with Mg/Al-containing antacids, calcium, multivitamins or iron requires dosage separation.
