Triumeq is a once-daily single-pill dolutegravir-based regimen, containing the booster-free integrase strand transfer inhibitor (INSTI) dolutegravir and the nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) abacavir and lamivudine, which can be conveniently taken with or without food and may be taken at any time of day.
Triumeq has been shown to be efficacious across a broad range of patient groups in phase III clinical trials – including treatment-naïve, treatment-experienced and female-only populations.
Triumeq was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on 22 August 2014 for the treatment of HIV-1 in adults, and the European Commission (EC) on 2 September 2014 for the treatment of HIV in adults and children over 12 years of age who weigh at least 40kg. Triumeq is approved for use in more than 50 countries.
