900. Switching to DTG/3TC Fixed-Dose Combination (FDC) Is Non-inferior to Continuing a TAF-Based Regimen (TBR) in Maintaining Virologic Suppression Through 144 Weeks (TANGO Study)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Background DTG/3TC is a complete 2-drug regimen (2DR) for the treatment of HIV-1 infection. Non-inferior virologic efficacy has been proven over 3 years in treatment-naive people living with HIV (PLWH) and 2 years in a stable switch setting. Methods TANGO, a randomized, open-label, non-inferiority study, evaluates efficacy and safety of switching to DTG/3TC in PLWH who are virologically suppressed ( > 6 months, no prior virologic failure [VF], no major NRTI/INSTI resistance) vs remaining on a 3- or 4-drug TAF-based regimen (TBR), stratified by baseline 3rd agent class. Week 144 analyses assessed non-inferiority (NI) with a 4% NI margin for Snapshot virologic failure (VF) and 8% for virologic success (VS; FDA Snapshot algorithm, intention-to-treat–exposed [ITT-E] population). Results Of 741 randomized/exposed pts (DTG/3TC: 369; TBR: 372), most pts entered the study on EVG/c (66%). For Week 144 Snapshot VF, switching to DTG/3TC was non-inferior to continuing TBR in the ITT-E analysis: 0.3% vs 1.3%; adjusted difference (95% CI): −1.1% (−2.4%, 0.2%) and superior to TBR in the per-protocol analysis: 0% vs 1.1%; adjusted difference: −1.1% (−2.3, −0.0); P=0.044 (2-sided). Snapshot VS was high in both arms and demonstrated non-inferiority (Table). Zero pts on DTG/3TC and 3 (0.8%) on TBR met confirmed virologic withdrawal criteria with no resistance observed. Zero pts on DTG/3TC and 6 (1.6%) on TBR discontinued for lack of efficacy. Overall AE rates were similar between arms (Table). TC, LDL-C, and triglycerides improved with DTG/3TC, HDL-C improved with TBR, with no difference in TC/HDL-C ratio between arms. Changes in eGFR (cystatin C) and proximal tubular function marker were similar across arms. Adjusted mean change from BL in weight was 2.2 and 1.7 kg in the DTG/3TC and TBR arms, respectively, and proportion of pts with > 10% weight increase was similar across arms (13% and 12%, respectively). Table. Efficacy and Key Safety Results for the ITT-E and Safety Population Conclusion Switching to the 2-drug regimen of DTG/3TC from a TAF-based 3- or 4-drug regimen resulted in high, non-inferior efficacy with zero confirmed virologic withdrawals and good tolerability over 3 years of treatment. DTG/3TC 2DR is a robust switch option with durable efficacy, good safety and tolerability, and a high barrier to resistance.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
