Trial design

Randomised, immediate switch to doravirine (pifeltro 100 mg film-coated tablets) plus raltegravir (raltegravir 600 mg film-coated tablets) (once daily doravirine plus raltegravir dual therapy is stated). there is a "delayed switch" arm (patients remain on current art then switch later) referenced as the comparator timing/control. Phase II trial across 6 sites in France, Italy, Spain.
