Introduction: This review evaluates the efficacy and safety of Genvoya® (elvitegravir, cobicistat, emtricitabine, and tenofovir alafenamide [EVG/c/TAF/FTC]), a single-tablet regimen used for the management of HIV-1 infection. Phase II and III randomized clinical trials evaluate the efficacy and safety of EVG/c/TAF/FTC and tenofovir disoproxil fumerate (TDF)–containing arms; renal impairment, bone mineral density, metabolic effects, and other adverse events are topics explored within this review. Methods: A MEDLINE with full text and PubMed literature search was conducted for the past 5 years, up to April 2016. Results: Virologic suppression was similar between the EVG/c/TAF/FTC and TDF-containing groups (<50 copies/mL) at week 48. The bone mineral density in the hip and spine showed a significant reduction in the TDF-containing groups. The glomerular filtration rate increased in patients in the EVG/c/TAF/FTC arm and there were significant differences in total proteinuria, albuminuria, and tubular proteinuria in patients switching to EVG/c/TAF/FTC. The most common adverse events were diarrhea, nausea, and headache. Discussion: The coformulated Genvoya regimen is well tolerated and effective in treatment-naive and virologically suppressed patients. Data seem to suggest it may also be effective and safe in patients with mild to moderate renal impairment. The lower-dosed single-tablet regimen has significantly reduced bone and renal side effects.

Objective: To review data on efficacy and safety of dolutegravir (DTG) and lamivudine (3TC) in treatment-naïve adults with HIV-1 infection. Data Sources: Phase III clinical trials and review articles were identified through PubMed (1996 to March 2020) and ClinicalTrials.gov (2000 to May 2020) using the keywords dolutegravir, lamivudine, and HIV. Study Selection and Data Extraction: Relevant clinical trials and review articles available in English evaluating efficacy and safety of DTG and 3TC were included. Data Synthesis: The once-daily, single-tablet regimen of DTG/3TC is the first dual antiretroviral therapy (ART) recommended for initial therapy in treatment-naïve adults with HIV-1 infection. DTG and 3TC were compared with a regimen of DTG and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate/emtricitabine in the GEMINI studies and demonstrated noninferiority for the primary end point of virological suppression at up to 96 weeks. No treatment-emergent resistance mutations were identified in a small group of participants who did not reach virological suppression. The regimen is well tolerated, and the most common adverse events reported in trials include headache, diarrhea, nausea, insomnia, and fatigue. Relevance to Patient Care and Clinical Practice: This dual-ART regimen is a favorable treatment option for ART-naïve patients with HIV-1 RNA <500 000 copies/mL, absence of hepatitis B virus, and no resistance to DTG or 3TC. Benefits of dual ART include reduction in treatment-related adverse events and toxicities, drug interactions, and cost. In addition, the once-daily, single-tablet formulation promotes adherence. Conclusions: DTG/3TC has demonstrated efficacy in maintaining virological suppression in ART-naïve patients at up to 96 weeks while minimizing treatment-related adverse events and toxicities.
