Doravirine (DOR) in Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)-Infected Children Aged 4 Weeks to <12 Years and <45 kg (MK-1439-066)

A Phase 2 Clinical Study to Evaluate the Pharmacokinetics, Safety, and Efficacy of Doravirine and Doravirine/Lamivudine/Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate in Participants With HIV-1, Who Are 4 Weeks to Less Than 12 Years of Age and Weigh Less Than 45 kg

Brief summary (registry, in English)

This is a single-group, open-label, multi-site study in pediatric participants with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection, aged 4 weeks to \<12 years and weighing \<45 kg, who are treatment-naive (TN) or have been virologically suppressed (VS) on stable combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) for ≥3 months with no history of treatment failure. The primary objectives are: * To evaluate the steady state pharmacokinetics (PK) of doravirine (DOR) \[MK-1439\] when given in combination with 2 nucleoside/nucleotide analog reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) or as part of the fixed-dose combination (FDC) of DOR/lamivudine (3TC)/tenofovir disproxil fumarate (TDF) in participants ≥6 to \<12 years and weighing ≥14 to \<45 kg. * To evaluate the safety and tolerability of DOR when given with 2 NRTIs or as part of the FDC of DOR/3TC/TDF, in participants ≥6 to 12 years and weighing ≥14 to \<45 kg, through Week 24.

  • Demonstrates evidence of liver disease
  • Has any history of malignancy
  • Has presence of any active acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)-defining opportunistic Infection
  • Has an active diagnosis of hepatitis, including hepatitis B co-infection
  • Has a medical condition that precludes absorption or intake of oral pellets/granules
  • Has any history of viremia (HIV RNA \>1000 copies/mL) after at least 3 months on a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI)-based regimen

Lab values

  • Has clinical or laboratory evidence of pancreatitis
  • Has a history or current evidence of any condition, therapy, laboratory abnormality, or other circumstance that might confound results of the study or interfere with participating for the entire duration of the study

Other

  • Has a documented or known virologic resistance to DOR

Who the study is looking for

  • Has human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection confirmed at screening
  • Has appropriate treatment history defined as treatment-naïve (TN) or with documented virologic suppression (HIV-1 ribonucleic acid \[RNA\] \<50 copies/mL) on stable combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) for ≥3 months
  • Body weight is \>3 kg to \<45 kg
  • If female, is not pregnant or breastfeeding, and one of the following applies:
  • Is not a woman of childbearing potential (WOCBP)
  • Is a WOCBP using an acceptable form of contraception, or is abstinent

    • Study Extension Inclusion Criteria:
  • Has completed the Week 96 visit
  • Is considered, in the opinion of the investigator, to have derived benefit from treatment with doravirine (DOR) plus the 2 nucleoside/nucleotide analog reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTIs) selected by the investigator, or doravirine/lamivudine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (DOR/3TC/TDF), by Week 96 of the study
  • Is considered, in the opinion of the investigator, to be a clinically appropriate candidate for additional treatment with DOR regimens (DOR plus 2 NRTIs selected by the investigator or DOR/3TC/TDF)
  • Understands the procedures in the study extension and has provided (or have the participant's legally acceptable representative, if applicable, provide) documented informed consent/assent to enter the study extension and continue treatment with DOR regimens (DOR plus 2 NRTIs selected by the investigator or DOR/3TC/TDF) until it is available locally in countries participating in the study or for up to an additional 224 weeks (whichever comes first)
