      • One qualitative HIV RNA PCR
      • One HIV total nucleic acid test
    • Sample #2 may be tested using any of the following:

      • Rapid antibody test. If this option is used in combination with two rapid tests for Sample #1, at least one of the three rapid tests must be United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved, and the third rapid test must be from a third manufacturer or based on a third principle or epitope.
      • One enzyme immunoassay OR Western Blot OR immunofluorescence assay OR chemiluminescence assay

If nucleic acid testing is used, at least one test must be performed in a Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) certified (for US sites) or Virology Quality Assurance (VQA) certified (for non-US sites) laboratory. For tests performed in other settings, adequate source documentation including the date of specimen collection, date of testing, test performed, and test result must be available. FDA approved testing methods should be used when possible.
  • HLA-B*5701-negative based on documented testing at any time prior to entry

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The purpose of this study was to examine the pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability of abacavir/dolutegravir/lamivudine dispersible and immediate release tablets in children living with HIV less than 12 years of age.
Detailed Description
This study examined the pharmacokinetics (PK), safety, and tolerability of fixed-dose combination abacavir (ABC)/dolutegravir (DTG)/lamivudine (3TC) dispersible and immediate release tablets in children living with HIV less than 12 years of age. Children were enrolled into one of five ABC/DTG/3TC dosing groups based on their weight. The first 5-7 children within each weight-band underwent intensive PK assessments 5-10 days after starting ABC/DTG/3TC to confirm dose selection. Children remained on their initial dose of ABC/DTG/3TC through Week 4. After Week 4, ABC/DTG/3TC dosing was adjusted based on PK results at the individual or weight-band level, and/or an individual child's growth and weight gain over time. Follow-up study visits for all participants occurred at Weeks 1, 4, 12, 24, 36, and 48. If participants had a known M184 resistance mutation, they had additional study visits at Weeks 8, 16, and 20. Study visits included physical examination, study drug adherence and tolerability questionnaires, blood collection, and intensive PK sampling. Following the Week 48 study visit, some children were allowed to continue follow-up through up to 144 weeks if alternative post-study drug supply was not yet available.

The second method should ideally be a barrier method. Male or female condom use is recommended with all other methods of contraception for dual protection against pregnancy and to avoid transmission of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections.
