Sponsor's own description

This is a phase IV, open label, multicentre trial that will be taking place at 4 sites in the United Kingdom (UK). Efavirenz which is taken in combination with Kivexa® or as part of the combination pill, Atripla® is a recommended firstline regimen for the treatment of Human Immunodeficiency Virus-1 (HIV- 1) infection. Treatment against the HIV virus is also referred to as antiretroviral therapy. Toxicity is the most common reason for modification of firstline therapy. Central Nervous System (CNS) side effects such as difficulty with sleeping \& bad dreams are common side effect of Efavirenz based therapy and is one of the most frequent reasons for switching or discontinuing highly active antiretroviral therapy. Dolutegravir is within a novel class of antiretroviral agents licensed in the UK for the treatment of HIV. In combination with Truvada®, it showed fewer side effects when compared to Efavirenz in other clinical studies, where patients were starting HIV treatment for the first time, or switching from other agents. The purpose of the study is to investigate the benefits of switching away from Eefavirenz (in combination with Kivexa® or as part of the combination pill, Atripla®) to Dolutegravir in patients with CNS side effects (such as difficulty with sleeping, bad dreams etc).
