Study design details

Main study objective

The primary objective is to identify if there are any predictors of the development of a CNS AE during the course of the trials.

Outcomes

Incidence of CNS events by predictor, Relationship between exposure to DTG, predictors and development of outcome Sensitivity analyses

Data analysis plan

The primary objective was to assess if there are any variables associated with the development of a NP during the course of the trials. This meta-analysis will include data that were previously collected for VH-sponsored clinical trials in adult Phase III/IIIb of drug development for dolutegravir. Studies included in the meta-analysis are Spring 2, Single, Flamingo, Aria and Sailing. The incidence of NP events was calculated from frequencies of reported adverse events (AEs) in the included clinical trials, 95% CIs are based on exact binomial 2-sided CIs. To assess the effect of pre-specified variables associated with the exposure adjusted incidence rate and relative rate of NP events in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) patients treated with DTG containing versus non DTG containing regimens as well as DTG + ABC exposure vs DTG + other regimens Poisson mixed effects meta-regression models was used. 95% CIs were calculated for rates and relative rates
