  • Research summary

    There is a lack of published real world data on the use of doravirine (DOR), and these data will show how DOR is used in the real world setting in the UK. This study will provide data on patient characteristics and treatment patterns of HIV positive patients starting DOR. The study will be carried out in 3 NHS hospital HIV departments in the UK. We will aim to recruit up to 300 HIV-1 positive patients from these 3 NHS sites. Patients that will be part of the study will be those with a HIV-1 infection and treated with DOR. However, the study will only collect historic data from the patient medical records by the healthcare team. Patients themselves do not need to do anything, there will be no changes to their care and they will not undergo any procedures as part of the research. Doctors (or their research teams) that have treated the patients identified for this study will fill out a form online in order to provide anonymised information about the patient’s treatment history. Data collection will last a few months to
    provide enough time to extract the data. The study is sponsored and funded by Merck Sharp & Dohme (UK) Ltd
