DRIVE-AHEAD resistance profile

DELSTRIGO® DRIVE-AHEAD resistance profile


Resistance profile of doravirine, 3TC and TDF in a 48-and 96-week study of patients with HIV-1:1,*

  • In a pooled analysis of antiretroviral-naïve subjects who received doravirine, 3TC, and TDF, genotyping was performed on plasma HIV-1 isolates from all patients with HIV-1 RNA >400 copies per mL at confirmed virologic failure or at time of early study drug discontinuation.
  • Genotypic resistance developed in 8 evaluable subjects who received DELSTRIGO® through Week 96. 3TC and TDF resistance-associated substitutions were RT M41L (n =1), A62A/V (n=1), K65R (n=2), and M184V/I (n=4).
  • Between Weeks 48 and 96, genotypic resistance to FTC or TDF developed in 1 patient who received EFV/FTC/TDF; the emergent resistance-associated substitution subject was V118I.
  • In DRIVE-AHEAD, no additional genotypic or phenotypic resistance to doravirine, 3TC or TDF was identified in patients in the doravirine treatment arm between Weeks 48 and 96

* Clinical significance has not been established.

3TC=lamivudine; TDF=tenofovir disoproxil fumarate; EFV=efavirenz; FTC=emtricitabine; RT=reverse transcriptase; ART=antiretroviral therapy
