    Adapted from Cahn et al, 2019. 3

    • Proportion of patients with viral blips was similar across both arms: 12% (83/716) in DOVATO vs 13% (93/717) in DTG + TDF/FTC  3

    DTG 50 mg + 3TC 300 mg used in the GEMINI studies.

    *A viral blip is a transient increase in viral load ≥50 copies/mL to <200 copies/mL bounded by viral loads <50 copies/mL. Note: individual patients could have had ≥1 blip.

  • Virological Outcomes by Baseline CD4+ T-cell Count Strata at 96 Weeks 1

    • ITT-E: >200 cells/mm3 DOVATO 88% (573/653) vs DTG + TDF/FTC 90% (594/662) 
    • When treatment-related discontinuation=failure (TRDF)* analysis is applied: >200 cells/mm3  DOVATO 97% (633/653) vs DTG + TDF/FTC 96% (638/662) 
    • ITT-E: ≤200 cells/mm3 DOVATO 68% (43/63) vs DTG + TDF/FTC 87% (48/55) 
    • When TRDF analysis is applied: ≤200 cells/mm3 DOVATO 94% (59/63) vs DTG + TDF/FTC 96% (53/55)

    DTG 50 mg + 3TC 300 mg used in the GEMINI studies

    *Treatment-related discontinuation=failure was a pre-planned analysis for Week 96 and accounts for confirmed virological withdrawal, withdrawal due to lack of efficacy, withdrawal due to treatment-related adverse events and patients who met protocol-defined stopping criteria.

    † patients met confirmed virological withdrawal criteria if a second and consecutive HIV-1 RNA value met any of the following definitions: decrease from baseline in HIV-1 RNA of <1 log10 copies/mL, unless HIV-1 RNA of <200 copies/mL, by Week 12; confirmed plasma HIV-1 RNA of ≥200 copies at or after Week 24; or confirmed rebound (HIV-1 RNA ≥200 copies/mL after confirmed consecutive HIV-1 RNA <200 copies/mL).

    Significantly Lower Rate Of Drug-Related Adverse Events vs DTG + TDF/FTC At 96 Weeks*

    Adverse event profiles

    Adapted from Cahn et al, 2019. 1

    *The relative risk ratio (95% CI) For Dovato vs DTG+ TDF/FTC was 0.78 (0.64,0.95). 1

    3 deaths (acute myocardial infarction, n=1; Burkitts's lymphoma, n=1; coronary artery disease, n=1); 1 in GEMINI-1 and 2 in GEMINI-2; all were in the DOVATO group and were considered unrelated to the study drug regimen. 1

    Minimal changes in overall mean weight. Change from baseline was +3.1 kg in the DOVATO arm and +2.1 kg in the DTG+TDF/FTC arm. 1

TC-HDL ratio



CHANGES IN TC/HDL RATIO

A statistically greater reduction in TC/HDL ratio occurred in the DTG+TDF/FTC arm vs DOVATO, however there was also an improvement in the DOVATO arm.  1

The GEMINI studies did not determine whether these changes translate to clinical differences.

  • OVERALL ADVERSE EVENTS WERE COMPARABLE ACROSS BOTH ARMS AT 48 WEEKS

    OVERALL ADVERSE EVENTS WERE COMPARABLE ACROSS BOTH ARMS AT 48 WEEKS 7

    Any drug related AE, grades 2-5 and AEs leading to withdrawal were higher in the Dovato arm vs the TAF-containing regimen arm. This is expected since the majority of patients were switching to a new regimen after suppression on their previous regimen for approx. 3 years (median).

    Overall adverse events
    Adapted from van Wyk et al, 2019. 1
    **1 fatal AE occurred (homicide) in the DOVATO arm. No serious AEs were drug related. 7
    Minimal changes in overall mean weight. Change from baseline was ≈0.8 kg over 48 weeks in both treatment arms. 1

FEW SIGNIFICANT DRUG-DRUG INTERACTIONS

  • Minimal effect on metabolism via the CYP3A4 pathway
  • No known interactions with contraceptives, antihypertensives, proton pump inhibitors, statins, PDE-5 inhibitors or recreational drugs
  • Avoid chronic co-administration of sorbitol and similar solutions
  • Dose adjustment of metformin may be required
  • Dose adjustment of DTG required for rifampicin, carbamazepine, oxcarbazepine, phenytoin, phenobarbital and St. John's wort
  • Timing of dose will need to be adjusted if co-administered with polyvalent cation-antacids
  • Timing of dose may need to be adjusted with supplements or multivitamins containing calcium, iron or magnesium
