The Body PRO ICAAC 2007: First-Line Antiretroviral Therapy and Switching Strategies ARTEMIS: Conclusions The use of once-daily DRV/r 800/100mg + TDF/FTC in treatment-naïve patients: –resulted in excellent virologic and immunologic responses –provided suitable exposure in all patients –was well tolerated, with a favorable safety profile In comparison to the LPV/r arm* in treatment-naïve patients: –For efficacy, DRV/r 800/100mg qd was non-inferior in the overall population, and superior in patients with high VL –DRV/r had lower incidence of common GI toxicities and triglyceride elevations *LPV/r arm included: LPV/r 400/100mg bid or 800/200mg qd, capsule and tablet formulations Edwin DeJesus et al.
