Summary

This phase 2b, open-label, randomized controlled trial evaluates the efficacy and safety of dolutegravir (DTG) alone versus dolutegravir combined with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) in individuals with HTLV-1 infection and associated clinical manifestations. The primary objective is to compare changes in HTLV-1 proviral load at 24 and 48 weeks. Secondary outcomes include clinical, functional, immunological, and quality-of-life measures.

Conditions

  • HTLV-1 Infection
  • HTLV I Associated Myelopathies
  • HTLV I Associated T Cell Leukemia Lymphoma
  • Neuritis

Interventions

COMBINATION_PRODUCT

Combination of Dolutegravir + Tenofovir DF for treatment of HTLV-1 infection

In a previous study Dolutegravir was able to reduce HTLV-1 proviral load, but a few patients did not respond to therapy. We intend to use a combination of Dolutegravir + TDF to improve the response rate. There is no previous evidence on the use of such combination for treating HTLV-1 infection.

DRUG

Dolutegravir (DTG)

Active comparator will be DTG, 50 mg/day
