PG - 199-208 LID - 10.1310/hct1505-199 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: The efficacy of dolutegravir (DTG) has been demonstrated in 5 randomized studies in integrase inhibitor (INI)-naive adult populations. To date, a detailed safety review of DTG has not been provided in the literature. OBJECTIVE: To describe the safety and tolerability profile of DTG in adults based on 5 randomized, controlled trials and comparison with drugs in 3 major antiretroviral (ARV) classes. METHODS: Safety data from phase IIb/III/IIIb trials in ART-naive and ART-experienced, INI-naive adults were integrated. RESULTS: In 4 ART-naive (SPRING-1, SPRING-2, SINGLE, FLAMINGO) and 1 ART-experienced, INI-naive study (SAILING), 1,579 individuals received a DTG-containing regimen. The proportion of individuals from DTG treatment arms who withdrew due to adverse events (AEs) was low (
