ABSTRACT: Background
New regimens may provide better tolerability, convenience, and safety for nonoccupational human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) postexposure prophylaxis (PEP). For this reason, we evaluated the single-tablet regimen of doravirine/lamivudine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (DOR/3TC/TDF) for 28 days.Methods
This was a prospective, open-label, single-arm trial including individuals with potential HIV-1 exposure within 72 hours. The primary endpoint was noncompletion of PEP at day 28. Secondary endpoints were adverse effects, adherence, and rate of seroconversion. We performed follow-up at day 7, week 4, and week 12.Results
Between September 2019 and March 2022, the study enrolled 399 individuals. Median age was 30 (interquartile range [IQR], 27-36) years, and 91% (n = 364) were male. The mode of exposure was sex between men in 84% (n = 331) of cases; risk assessment for HIV-1 transmission was considered as "high" in 97% (n = 385) of the participants. Median time from exposure to consultation was 24 (IQR, 13-40) hours. Noncompletion of PEP was 29% (n = 114) (95% confidence interval [CI], 24%-33%) and 20% (n = 72) (95% CI, 16%-25%) per modified intention-to-treat. Main reasons for noncompletion were loss to follow-up (n = 104 [91%]) and intolerance (n = 8 [7%]). Older age was associated with a lower risk of premature discontinuation (OR, 0.94; P < .001). One hundred twenty-three (31%) participants reported adverse events, mostly mild and self-limited (82%); discontinuation occurred in 8 cases (2%). Adherence to PEP in the assessed users was 96%. There were no HIV seroconversions.Conclusions
DOR/3TC/TDF is a well-tolerated option for nonoccupational PEP. Clinical Trials Registration. NCT04233372.
