DTG/3TC vs. BIC/FTC/TAF Maintenance Therapy in People Living With HIV:

Summary

Participation Requirements

Description

Participants will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive DTG/3TC or BIC/FTC/TAF. Randomization will be stratified by sex and TAF use at baseline. At least 33% of the patients included will be women. The investigatora will also endeavour to recruit as many non-Caucasian participants as possib...

Participants will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive DTG/3TC or BIC/FTC/TAF. Randomization will be stratified by sex and TAF use at baseline. At least 33% of the patients included will be women. The investigatora will also endeavour to recruit as many non-Caucasian participants as possible. Patients with TAF-containing regimens at baseline will be limited to 25% or less of the total number of participants. Three sub-studies will be performed: Omics sub-study ; Senescence sub-study; Fat biopsies sub-study. Omics sub-study: Assess the mechanistic pathways involved on weight changes associated with switching to BIC/FTC/TAF vs. DTG/3TC. Senescence sub-study: Assess the potential effects on the telomere length, epigenetic age and oxidative stress markers of switching to BIC/FTC/TAF vs. DTG/3TC. Fat biopsies sub-study: To assess potential effects of switching to BIC/FTC/TAF vs. DTG/3TC on expression of marker genes of mitochondrial function, adipogenesis, and inflammation in subcutaneous fat tissue. Assays on adipose tissue gene expression will be complemented by analysis in serum of adipokines representative of adipose tissue function (leptin, adiponectin), and inflammation biomarkers (TNFalpha, MCP-1, IL-6, IL- 8, IL-10, IL-18).
