About this trial

The overall aim of the project is to evaluate optimal DTG dose for the combined treatment of TB and HIV infections with RIF based anti-TB therapy. This Stage II trial will determine precisely the PK parameters of DTG in combination with RIF regimen in Thai HIV/TB co-infected patients. After the optimal dose of DTG has been found, it will be further tested in a larger Stage III trial to assess its safety, tolerability and efficacy when used with RIF based regimen.
