Clinical Trial Summary

Dolutegravir (DTG) is a well-tolerated 2nd generation integrase strand transfer inhibitor (INSTI); rilpivirine (RPV) is a well-tolerated non- nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTI) and lamivudine (3TC) is a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs). This study aims to gather the real-world evidence to evaluate effectiveness of the two-drug regimen (2DR). This is a multi-site observational study in subjects who have started and/or who plan to initiate 2DR with an integrase inhibitor plus a reverse transcriptase inhibitor. The study does not require any changes to the routine standard of care that subjects receive. Approximately 500 eligible subjects will be included from potential investigational sites across Europe and data from them will be collected either retrospectively or prospectively.

Primary	Number of treatment-naïve subjects with human immunodeficiency virus ribonucleic acid (HIV-RNA) levels <50 c/mL at Week 48	Number of treatment-naïve subjects with human immunodeficiency virus ribonucleic acid (HIV-RNA) levels <50 c/mL at Week 48 will be assessed.	Week 48
Primary	Number of treatment-naïve subjects with human immunodeficiency virus ribonucleic acid (HIV-RNA) levels <50 c/mL at Week 96	Number of treatment-naïve subjects with human immunodeficiency virus ribonucleic acid (HIV-RNA) levels <50 c/mL at Week 96 will be assessed.	Week 96
Primary	Number of subjects who lose virologic control within the first 24 weeks after switching to a 2-DR	Virologic control is defined as 2 consecutive HIV RNA levels >50 c/mL or HIV RNA >50c/mL followed by study treatment discontinuation or missing value. Number of subjects who lose virologic control will be assessed using a Kaplan-Meier Method.	Week 24
Primary	Number of subjects who lose virologic control within the first 48 weeks after switching to a 2-DR	Virologic control is defined as 2 consecutive HIV RNA levels >50 c/mL or HIV RNA >50c/mL followed by study treatment discontinuation or missing value. Number of subjects who lose virologic control will be assessed using a Kaplan-Meier Method.	Week 48
Primary	Number of subjects who lose virologic control within the first 96 weeks after switching to a 2-DR	Virologic control is defined as 2 consecutive HIV RNA levels >50 c/mL or HIV RNA >50c/mL followed by study treatment discontinuation or missing value. Number of subjects who lose virologic control will be assessed using a Kaplan-Meier Method.	Week 96
Primary	Number of treatment-experienced subjects with HIV-RNA levels <50 c/mL at Week 24	Number of treatment-experienced subjects with HIV-RNA levels <50 c/mL at Week 24 will be assessed.	Week 24
Primary	Number of treatment-experienced subjects with HIV-RNA levels <50 c/mL at Week 48	Number of treatment-experienced subjects with HIV-RNA levels <50 c/mL at Week 48 will be assessed.	Week 48
