Primary endpoints:
- Proportion of pregnant women who achieve an HIV-1 plasma viral load <200 copies/mL
at delivery after starting DTG+3TC (Intention-to-Treat Exposed analysis).
- Proportion of children born without HIV infection at 6 weeks & 6 months of age,
defined by the negative result of negative virological tests (PCR) performed at
birth (delivery visit and up to 72 hours after delivery), at 6 weeks, and at 6
months
Secondary endpoints:
- Frequency of grade 2 or higher maternal adverse events, by type and severity, from
baseline to 6 months postpartum.
- Frequency of spontaneous abortion, preterm delivery, congenital malformations at
birth or identified and reported during the first 6 month of life, or intrauterine
fetal death.
- Proportion of pregnant women with plasma viral load below 50 copies/mL at delivery.
- Average total weight gain and BMI during pregnancy, compared with recommendations
based on pre-pregnancy BMI.
- Changes in CD4 lymphocyte count and CD4/CD8 ratio between baseline and delivery
visit values.
- Frequency and type of mutations according to the International AIDS Society (IAS-USA
drug resistance mutations, 2025) mutation guidelines panel at the baseline visit and
in case of virological failure at any time during the study.
- Proportion of HIV infection among breastfed children.
- Frequency of grade 2 or higher maternal adverse events, by type and severity,
between the two arms. Frequency of pregnant women with plasma viral load <200
copies/mL in the two arms at delivery visit.
Exploratory endpoints:
- Difference in the proportion of pregnant women who achieve an HIV-1 plasma viral
load of less than 50 copies/mL at delivery between the DTG+3TC and DTG+TDF/XTC or
DTG+TAF/FTC groups, to explore the non-inferiority of the dual regimen.
- Proportion of participants requiring a change in antiretroviral regimen (due to lack
of efficacy, adverse events, medical decision, or other reasons) before delivery.
