NCT ID NCT02212379

First seen Apr 04, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 4 times

Summary

This study tested a two-drug combination (raltegravir and etravirine) in 170 people with HIV who were 45 or older and already had the virus under control. After switching from a standard three-drug regimen, 99% maintained viral suppression at 48 weeks and 98.7% at 96 weeks. The approach offers a simpler, effective option for long-term HIV management.
