Could a Two-Drug HIV pill work for transgender women?

NCT ID NCT06967753

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This study is testing whether switching to a two-drug HIV pill (dolutegravir plus lamivudine) can keep the virus under control in transgender women who are already on a stable three-drug regimen. About 50 participants will take the new pill once daily for 48 weeks. The main goal is to see if the virus stays suppressed, with a focus on safety and quality of life.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

dolutegravir and lamivudine (two-drug HIV pill)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show that a simpler two-drug regimen works well for transgender women with HIV, potentially reducing side effects and pill burden.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-phase study with only 50 participants and no comparison group, so results may not apply to everyone. There is a risk the simpler regimen may not keep the virus fully suppressed.
