Suppressed switch to Bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide compared with dolutegravir/lamivudine: Real-world evidence from the OPERA cohort.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To compare the virologic effectiveness and discontinuation of the commonly prescribed fixed-dose combination 3-drug and 2-drug regimens, bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (B/F/TAF) and dolutegravir/lamivudine (DTG/3TC), in virologically suppressed individuals in routine clinical care in the US.

Methods

From the OPERA cohort, ART-experienced, virologically suppressed (viral load <200 copies/mL) adults with HIV who switched to B/F/TAF or DTG/3TC (01AUG2020-30JUN2022) were followed through 31DEC2022, death, loss to follow-up or discontinuation. Cox proportional hazard models with stabilized inverse probability of treatment weights were used to assess the association between regimen and time to confirmed virologic failure (cVF₂₀₀; 2 viral load
