BACKGROUND: Dolutegravir exposure is reduced after switching from efavirenz, which could select for dolutegravir resistance if switching occurs during virologic failure.

METHODS: We measured serial dolutegravir trough concentrations after switching from efavirenz in a clinical trial, which randomized some participants to a supplemental dolutegravir dose or placebo for the first 14 days. Changes in dolutegravir trough concentrations between days 3, 7, 14, and 28 were evaluated. The primary outcome was the geometric mean ratio of dolutegravir trough concentrations on day 7 versus day 28.

RESULTS: Twenty-four participants received double-dose dolutegravir (50 mg twice daily) and 11 standard dose for the first 14 days. Baseline characteristics were 77% female, median age 36 years, CD4 cell count 254 cells/mm3, and HIV-1 RNA 4.0 log10 copies/mL. The geometric mean ratio (90% CI) of dolutegravir trough concentrations on day 7 versus day 28 was 0.637 (0.485 to 0.837) in the standard-dose group and 1.654 (1.404 to 1.948) in the double-dose group. There was a prolonged induction effect at day 28 in participants with efavirenz slow metaboliser genotypes. One participant in the double-dose group had a dolutegravir trough concentration below the protein-binding adjusted concentration needed to inhibit 90% of HIV-1 (PA-IC90) at day 3.

CONCLUSIONS: No participants on standard-dose dolutegravir had dolutegravir trough concentrations below the PA-IC90. Slow efavirenz metaboliser genotypes had higher baseline efavirenz concentrations and more pronounced and longer period of induction postswitch. These findings suggest that a 14-day lead-in supplemental dolutegravir dose may not be necessary when switching from a failing efavirenz-based first-line regimen.
