Highlight

– In the PASO‑DOBLE multicentre Spanish trial, dolutegravir 50 mg plus lamivudine 300 mg (DTG/3TC) was non‑inferior to bictegravir 50 mg/emtricitabine 200 mg/tenofovir alafenamide 25 mg (BIC/FTC/TAF) for maintenance of virological suppression at 48 weeks (non‑inferiority margin 4%).

– Virological failure was rare in both arms (2% DTG/3TC vs 1% BIC/FTC/TAF) and trial discontinuations for adverse events were uncommon.
