Table 1 Baseline values and 6-month follow-up modifications (DOR1: on doravirine switched from rilpivirine-based regimens; DOR2: on doravirine, switching from other NNRTI-containing regimens, DOR3: on doravirine, switching from INSTI-containing regimens)

From: Lipids and transaminase elevations in ARV-experienced PLWH switching to a doravirine-based regimen from rilpivirine or other regimens

  1. 3TC: lamivudine; ALT: alanine aminotransferase; CI: confidence interval; DOR: doravirine; FTC: emtricitabine; HDL: high density lipoprotein; INSTI: integrase strand inhibitor; IQR: interquartile range; LDL: low density lipoprotein; TAF: tenofovir alafenamide
  2. Bold: change from baseline p < 0.05.
  3. * chi-square test, Mann-Whitney test, or analysis of variance, as appropriate. Changes from baseline were compared among groups using a multivariable linear model including the age at study entry, the initial level of the variable, the current regimen, the concurrent use of lipid lowering drugs and TAF in the previous regimen.
