Adult dolutegravir could offer a practical and accessible treatment for children living with HIV
Adult doses of an antiviral drug could offer a practical and accessible option for children weighing 20-25kg living with HIV.

ODYSSEY: recruitment has completed!
We are pleased to announce that recruitment to the main trial has now completed. We have recruited slightly more than the total target of 700 participants: 312 recruited into ODYSSEY A (naïve to HIV treatment) and 396 into ODYSSEY B (starting second line HIV treatment). A huge thank you to all involved in achieving this milestone!
Recruitment of children 3-<14kg has commenced at sites taking part in the pharmacokinetic substudy, and will continue until 60 children 3-<14kg have been recruited.
ODYSSEY B has completed recruitment with 395 children enrolled
ODYSSEY B, which compares dolutegravir versus standard-of-care drugs in HIV-infected children who are starting second-line treatment, has completed recruitment ahead of target. 395 children have enrolled, mostly in Africa. Enrollment into ODYSSEY A for children starting treatment for the first time continues.
