MK-8591A is a combination of islatravir and Doravirine which are being investigated as non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase translocation inhibitor of HIV-1.
Phase 2 study evaluating an investigational weekly oral combination treatment regimen of MK-8591 (islatravir) and Gilead
Sciences’ lenacapavir to resume with lower dose of islatravir.
Islatravir is currently being evaluated across a variety of dosing regimens, for both the treatment of HIV-1 in combination with other antiretroviral agents and for the prevention of HIV-1 as a monotherapy.
Islatravir is Merck’s investigational nucleoside reverse transcriptase translocation inhibitor under evaluation for the treatment of people living with HIV-1 infection in combination with Doravirine.
Week 96 findings demonstrated that the combination of islatravir and doravirine maintained virologic suppression, and the findings were consistent with Week 48 results.
Researchers Will Present Week 96 Data from Phase 2b Study Evaluating Islatravir in Combination with Doravirine, and Phase 1/1b Data for MK-8507, an Investigational NNRTI for the Treatment of HIV-1 Infection.
The first sub-analysis further characterized the tolerability and safety profile of islatravir in combination with doravirine (100 mg) through Week 48 across the three dose levels studied (0.25, 0.75, 2.25 mg).
The data presentations also include a post-hoc analysis of weight change from the Phase 3 DRIVE-SHIFT trial evaluating the effect of switching to DELSTRIGO™ as well as an examination from the OPERA cohort of weight changes in people living with HIV.
