Methods: DUALITY was a 48-week, single-center, randomized, open-label clinical trial in ART-naïve PWH. Participants were randomized (1:1) to receive ART with DTG+3TC (2DR group) or DTG+FTC/TAF (3DR group). Total and intact proviral HIV-1 DNA, cell-associated RNA in CD4+ T cells, the frequency of HIV-infected CD4+ T cells able to produce p24, plasma soluble inflammatory markers (IL-6, sCD14, TRAIL, IP-10, FABP2, CRP and D-dimer), and activation and exhaustion markers in CD4+ and CD8+ T cells were longitudinally determined.

Results: Forty-four participants (22 per study arm) were enrolled. Baseline mean (SD) log10 plasma viral load (pVL) and CD4+ T cell counts were 4.4 (0.7) copies/mL and 493 (221) cells/mm3, respectively. All participants completing the study (2DR n=20; 3DR n=21) had pVL 50 copies/mL at week 48, except for one in the 2DR group who was resuppressed after treating syphilis. Changes from baseline to week 48 in all reservoir parameters or in levels of soluble inflammatory biomarkers and activated or exhausted CD4+ and CD8+ T cells were similar between 2DR and 3DR groups.
