Conditions

HIV-1-infection, Solid Organ Transplant

Brief summary

The aims of this study are to obtain pharmacokinetic data on interactions between dolutegravir (DTG) and immunosuppressant drugs (Cyclosporine A, Tacrolimus, Sirolimus and Mycophenolic acid) in solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients to provide proof of principle data that DTG plus 2 nucleosides (NUCs) is safe and effective in HIV-infected SOT recipients.

Participant flow

Pre-assignment details

HIV-1-infected adults (\>18) with kidney, liver, or heart transplant, on stable ART ≥6 months, HIV RNA \<50 c/mL for 12 months, no major resistance mutations, and HLA-B\*5701 negative. Some participants had switched to DTG + 2 NRTIs within the 48 weeks prior to study inclusion, while others switched at the time of enrollment. All participants were followed for 48 weeks from the start of DTG-based ART.
