New HIV pill study: could a simpler 2-drug regimen match a standard 3-drug combo?

NCT ID NCT05979311

First seen Jan 04, 2026 · Last updated Apr 26, 2026 · Updated 15 times

Summary

This study tests whether a two-drug HIV pill (dolutegravir/lamivudine) works as well as a three-drug pill (bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide) for adults who have never taken HIV medication before. About 473 participants will take one of the two pills daily for up to 96 weeks. The main goal is to see if both treatments keep the virus at very low levels in the blood. This is a disease control study, not a cure, because people with HIV need lifelong treatment.
