Bictegravir/Emtricitabine/Tenofovir Alafenide Plus Doravirine

An Open Label Study Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of Switching From Rilpivirine/Emtricitabine/Tenofovir Alafenamide in Combination With Dolutegravir, to Bictegravir/Emtricitabine/Tenofovir Alafenamide in Combination With Doravirine, in Male HIV+ Subjects > 45 Years With Multi-drug Resistant Virus and Virologic Suppression (Documented With at Least One Viral Load Result < 50 Copies Per mL) During the Last 6 Months on Current Therapy

Brief summary

The current study proposal is an open label observational trial for maintenance of virologic suppression, and is designed as a non- inferiority switch trial. The study will involve approximately 30 patients, which includes a PK arm of approximately 10 patients. The study will also include secondary outcomes of quality of life (QOL) and weight changes Hypothesis: Patients with prior NUC or NNRTI resistance (but not to rilpivirine or doravirine) will maintain their virologic suppression after a drug regimen switch from rilpivirine/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide in combination with dolutegravir, to bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide in combination with doravirine. The switch therapy will avoid food interactions, and will be well tolerated by subjects.
