Summary
- This summary is based on the review of six systematic review(s)/meta-analysis(es). [1-6]
- Virologic suppression (human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 RNA < 50 copies/mL) rates at Week 144 were similar across dolutegravir + lamivudine (DTG + 3TC), bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (BIC/FTC/TAF), and DTG/abacavir (ABC)/3TC regimens, with no significant differences in virologic failure (HIV-1 RNA ≥ 50 copies/mL) between the groups.
- In a pooled analysis of virologically suppressed Asian participants, 100% of those who switched to B/F/TAF maintained virologic suppression at Week 48, similar to those who remained on baseline regimens (95.9%, p = 0.2485).
- A meta-analysis of seven randomized clinical trials showed no statistically significant difference in efficacy between BIC/FTC/TAF and control regimens at Week 48 [odds ratio (OR) 1.01 (95% confidence interval (CI))].
- There is no population type or subgroups information available in the reviewed studies.
