Abstract: Participants with screening HIV-1 RNA <50 copies/mL for >=6 months; no prior virologic failure; and no documented resistance-associated major
protease inhibitor,
integrase inhibitor,
nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (
NRTI), or
non-NRTI mutations or
integrase resistance-associated substitution
R263K were randomly assigned 1:1 to switch to once-daily dolutegravir 50 mg plus rilpivirine 25 mg on day 1 (early-switch group) or to continue their current antiretroviral regimen and, if virologically suppressed at week 48, switch to dolutegravir plus rilpivirine at week 52 (late-switch group) until week 148.
