| Resum: |
Background. We compared proportions of participants with target detected, target not detected (TND), and elevated viral load (VL) and assessed baseline variables associated with week 144 inflammatory biomarker levels between dolutegravir-lamivudine (DTG/3TC) and tenofovir alafenamide-based regimens (TBRs) in the TANGO study (post hoc). Methods. TANGO is an open-label, multicenter, phase 3 study that randomized adults with VL <50 copies/mL to switch to once-daily fixed-dose DTG/3TC or continue TBR. At baseline and each study visit, the VL was measured. Elevated VL event frequencies were assessed, including "blips. " Interleukin 6, D-dimer, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, soluble CD14, and soluble CD163 were measured at baseline and at week 144. Log-transformed week 144 biomarker levels were compared between treatment groups using an analysis of covariance model adjusting for baseline variables. Results. High, comparable proportions of participants had VL <40 copies/mL and TND at week 144 (DTG/3TC, 279 of 369 [76%]; TBR, 267 of 372 [72%], intention-to-treat exposed Snapshot analysis; adjusted difference, 3. 9% [95% confidence interval, -2. 5% to 10. 2%]), with similar TND proportions at all postbaseline visits (123 of 369 [33%] vs 101 of 372 [27%], respectively). Similar proportions of DTG/3TC participants had ≥1 postbaseline VL ≥50 copies/mL (28 of 369 [8%] vs 42 of 372 [11%] for TBR), primarily blips (18 of 369 [5%] and 26 of 372 [7%], respectively). Week 144 inflammatory biomarker levels were low and comparable between groups and associated with multiple demographic and baseline characteristics, including baseline biomarker levels, indicating a multifactorial inflammatory response. Conclusions. Week 144 biomarker levels were low and generally comparable between treatment groups, reflecting similar, robust, and durable viral suppression observed using the stringent TND end point. |
