Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The clinical trial investigates whether a switch strategy of dual therapy with DRV/r + DTG is non-inferior with respect to HIV RNA < 50 cps/ml (ITTe analysis, FDA snapshot analysis (missing, switch or discontinuation of investigational study drugs for any reason = failure; change of NRTI backbone combination will not be classified as failure for primary endpoint analysis)) to a continuous standard of care therapy with DRV/r in combination with 2 NRTIs (ABC/3TC, F/TDF or F/TAF) over 48 weeks in HIV patients, who are on at least 24 weeks prior to randomisation of a stable and fully suppressive ART, consisting of 2 NRTI (ABC/3TC, F/TDF or F/TAF) in combination with DRV/r for a period of at least 28 days prior to randomisation (HIV RNA < 50 cps/ml and within a period of 24 weeks prior to randomisation with one accepted blip of HIV- RNA < 200 cps/ml). ; Secondary Objective: Number (%) of patients with HIV RNA < 50 cps/ml at week 24 Number (%) of patients with HIV RNA < 200 cps/ml at weeks 24, 48 Immunological response (change in CD4 cell count) at week 24 and 48 Safety and tolerability o Changes in renal function (incl. serum creatinine, CKD-EPI-, MDRD eGFR-, Cystatin-C-eGFR, albumin/creatinine-ratio, proteinuria and beta-2-microglobulin in serum) o Changes in lipids, insulin (HOMA-IR, QUICKI) resistance and glucose metabolism o Incidence of Grade 3-4 adverse events (AE) and AR (CTC AE catalogue) o Psychological and psychosocial Assessment Pharmacokinetic substudy I (PK I, 10/160 subjects in interventional arm at estimated 5 centers) o DTG and DRV serum levels 0, 1, 2, 4, 8, 12 hours after intake of medication; only week 4 Pharmacokinetic substudy II (PK II, 50/160 subjects in interventional arm) o DTG and DRV serum level at a single time poin

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Patients will take medication over a time period of 48 weeks. Patients will be investigated for a total of 6 times during treatment; Secondary end point(s): Number (%) of patients with HIV RNA < 50 cps/ml at week 24 Number (%) of patients with HIV RNA < 200 cps/ml at weeks 24, 48 Immunological response (change in CD4 cell count) at week 24 and 48 Safety and tolerability o Changes in renal function (incl. serum creatinine, CKD-EPI-, MDRD eGFR, Cystatin-C-GFR, albumin/creatinine-ratio, proteinuria and beta-2-microglobulin in serum) o Changes in lipids, insulin (HOMA-IR, QUICKI) resistance and glucose metabolism o Incidence of Grade 3-4 adverse events (AEs) and AR (CTC AE catalogue) o Psychological and psychosocial Assessment Pharmacokinetic Substudy I (PK I, 10/160 subjects in interventional arm at estimated 5 centers) o DTG and DRV serum levels 0, 1, 2, 4, 8, 12 hours after intake of medication; week 4 Pharmacokinetic Substudy II (PK II, 50/160 subjects in interventional arm) o DTG and DRV serum levels at single time point; week 4, 12 and 24 Self reported adherence
