Summary – Conclusion At 48 weeks of treatment, RAL was non-inferior to EFV, in combination with TDF/FTC. Virologic non-inferiority of RAL was confirmed through W24. RAL was superior to EFV for virologic outcome at week 240 RAL + TDF/FTC led to more rapid viral load decline (significantly more patients with HIV RNA < 50 c/mL for weeks 2 to 16) Greater increase in CD4 was observed in the RAL group. It was significant from W156 Upon virologic failure, resistance mutations to RAL was found in few cases RAL was associated with significantly fewer overall and drug-related clinical adverse events, and CNS-related adverse events than was EFV Mean changes in lipid parameters were smaller for RAL than for EFV RAL + TDF/FTC is an alternative to EFV + TDF/FTC as a first-line combination regimen in treatment-naïve HIV-infected patients STARTMRK Study: raltegravir vs efavirenz,in combination with TDF/FTC Lennox JL.
