Wits RHI 060 (ADVANCE): A 96-week Randomised, Phase 3 Non-inferiority Study of DTG + TAF + FTC Compared with DTG + TDF + FTC and EFV + TDF+FTC in Patients Infected with HIV-1 Starting First-line Antiretroviral Therapy.

Rationale

 The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate the non-inferiority of dolutegravir (DTG) and tenofovir alafenamide fumarate (TAF) plus emtricitabine (FTC) when compared with DTG and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) plus FTC or compared with efavirenz (EFV) and TDF plus FTC in the first-line treatment of patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) 1 as determined by the proportion of patients in each regimen with undetectable plasma HIV-1 RNA levels (<50 copies/mL) at Week 48.
