ViiV Healthcare submits supplemental new drug application to US FDA for use of Dovato in virologically suppressed adults with HIV-1
16 October 2019 - ViiV Healthcare announced the submission of a supplemental New Drug Application to the US FDA for Dovato (dolutegravir and lamivudine) as a switch treatment for HIV-1 infection in virologically suppressed adults on a stable antiretroviral regimen with no treatment failure.
In the US, Dovato is currently approved as a complete, once-daily, single-tablet regimen of dolutegravir (DTG) 50 mg and lamivudine (3TC) 300 mg for the treatment of HIV-1 infection in adults with no antiretroviral treatment history and with no known resistance to either DTG or 3TC.
The filing is based on the results from the phase III TANGO study, which demonstrated adults living with HIV-1, who had maintained virologic suppression for at least six months on a tenofovir alafenamide fumarate (TAF)-containing regimen of at least three drugs, were able to maintain similar rates of virologic suppression after switching to the two-drug regimen (2DR) Dovato, compared to those who continued the TAF-containing regimen.
