VOLITION

  • VOLITION Study Design<sup>1</sup>

    An ongoing phase 3b, multicenter, non-randomized, parallel-group, open-label study

    Co-primary endpoints: (1) Time to virologic suppression (HIV-1 RNA <50 copies/mL) from baseline (Day 1) with DTG/3TC treatment; (2) Percentage of participants with plasma HIV-1 RNA <50 copies/mL with CABENUVA treatment as per FDA Snapshot Algorithm at Month 11 (ongoing).

    Upon suppression, participants completed a Day-of-Choice survey, and selected their maintenance phase treatment. 

    *Participants given the option to switch on the “Day of Choice,” which followed the first plasma HIV-1 RNA results <50 copies/mL, between Week 4 and Week 16.

  • VOLITION Patient Desire

    At Day of Choice, after virologic suppression with DTG/3TC was achieved, eligible patients (n=151)* were given the choice to continue DTG/3TC or switch to CABENUVA1

    What they chose

    At baseline, 85% (101/119) of participants† expressed an interest in switching to CABENUVA.

    Why they chose it2

    Patients in VOLITION were asked their reasons‡ for switching to CABENUVA (tertiary endpoint). Of the patients who choose to switch (n=129), the top 5 reasons included: 

    These results are descriptive in nature and should not be used to infer clinical significance.

    *16 participants were ineligible and not offered to switch and 4 withdrew or discontinued prior to the Day of Choice.

    †119 participants at study entry (Day 1) had thought about whether to stay on DTG/3TC or switch to CABENUVA.

    ‡Responses were pre-populated and respondents were permitted to choose more than one reason.
    Participant experience was evaluated using questionnaires.
