PG - 133-142 LID - 10.24875/AIDSRev.20000103 [doi] AB - A new strategy of simplification therapy shown the unique benefits in clinical treatment, by reducing pill burden and avoid drug exposure. To provide more evidence for the strategy, we compared the efficacy and safety of dolutegravir (DTG)-containing simplified dual combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) and traditional triple cART for people living with HIV/AIDS. The meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials compared DTG-containing dual therapy with triple cART. The primary outcome was virologic suppression. The secondary outcomes included CD4T cell recovery, lipids change from baseline, and adverse events (AEs). A total of 7 studies, 4852 patients were eligible, 2423 (49.9%) received DTG-based simplified dual cART, and 2429 (50.1%) received triple cART. The viral suppression rate was 94.7% at 24 weeks, 93.0% at 48 weeks, and 96.6% at 96 weeks in dual cART. The viral suppression rate of dual cART was non-inferior to triple cART at 24 weeks (risk difference [RD], -0.00; 95% confidence interval [CI] -0.02-0.01), at 48 weeks (RD, -0.01; 95% CI -0.02-0.01), and at 96 weeks (RD, -0.01; 95% CI -0.02-0.00). Sub-analysis results were consistent with the overall results. With regard to other outcomes (CD4T counts, lipids, any AEs, and AEs grade >/= 3), there was no significant statistical difference between the two regimens. DTG-based simplified dual cART was non-inferior to triple cART in terms of efficacy and safety. This finding provides strong support for current consensus guidelines recommended the dual regimen as first-line treatment.
