Study Summary

This trial is studying the effects of a new two-drug regimen for HIV-infected adolescents who have not taken any HIV medications before.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for HIV-1 infected adolescents aged 12 to under 18, weighing at least 25 kg, who have never been treated with antiretroviral drugs. Participants can join if they've had ART for preventing mother-to-child transmission or post/pre-exposure prophylaxis over six months ago. They must not be pregnant or breastfeeding and agree to use birth control.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the safety and effectiveness of a fixed-dose combination (FDC) of two drugs, Dolutegravir/Lamivudine (DTG/3TC), in treatment-naive HIV-1 infected adolescents. The trial includes a screening phase, up to 48 weeks of treatment, an optional extension up to 96 additional weeks, and possibly continued therapy thereafter.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
DTG/3TC regimen is generally well-tolerated but may include common side effects like headaches, digestive issues such as nausea or diarrhea, fatigue, potential allergic reactions and rarely more serious effects related to liver health or changes in blood counts.
