HIV drug showdown: which strategy works best for new patients?
NCT ID NCT04051970
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compared two HIV treatment approaches in people who had never taken HIV drugs before. One group started with a three-drug combo for 16 weeks, then switched to a two-drug combo. The other group took a two-drug combo from the start. The goal was to see if the first approach worked just as well after 48 weeks. The study was stopped early, so results are limited.
