Summary:

      This clinical study proposes to evaluate the combination of maraviroc with an integrase
      strand transfer inhibitor (either raltegravir or dolutegravir) in antiretroviral-experienced
      patients to document the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of this combination in order to
      provide clinicians with a treatment regimen that minimizes the risk of metabolic
      complications by avoidance of NRTI/NNRTIs and PIs. The development of an alternative ART
      regimen which lessens the risk of metabolic complications could improve long-term adherence
      and reduce the risk of certain co-morbidities associated with long-term ART use. If this new
      combination is found to be as efficacious as the standard regimen with enhanced tolerability
      and improved metabolic effects, there is great potential for altering the current practice of
      HIV medicine.
