Abstract
Objective This paper presents the final analysis of once-daily darunavir/ritonavir (DRV/r) vs. lopinavir/ritonavir (LPV/r) in treatment-naive HIV-1-infected adults. Methods ARTEMIS (AntiRetroviral Therapy with TMC114 ExaMined In naive Subjects; NCT00258557) was a randomized, open-label, phase-III, 192-week trial. Patients were stratified by baseline HIV-1 RNA and CD4 count, and randomized to once-daily DRV/r 800/100 mg or LPV/r 800/200 mg total daily dose (either once or twice daily) plus tenofovir/emtricitabine. Results Of 689 randomized patients receiving treatment (DRV/r: 343; LPV/r: 346), 85 and 114 patients in the DRV/r and LPV/r arms, respectively, had discontinued by week 192. Noninferiority was shown in the primary endpoint of virological response (HIV-1 RNA Conclusion Over 192 weeks, once-daily DRV/r was noninferior and statistically superior in virological response to LPV/r, with a more favourable gastrointestinal profile, demonstrating its suitability for long-term use in treatment-naive patients.

Comparative efficacy and safety of first-line antiretroviral therapy for the treatment of HIV infection: a systematic review and network meta-analysis

TL;DR: A systematic review and network meta-analysis comparing recommended antiretroviral regimens in treatment-naive adults and adolescents with HIV found that low event rates limited the quality of evidence with regard to mortality and AIDS defining illnesses.

Lack of antiviral activity of darunavir against SARS-CoV-2.

TL;DR: The data do not support the use of DRV for treatment of COVID-19, and the in vitro antiviral activity of darunavir against a clinical isolate from a patient infected with SARS-CoV-2 was assessed.

Efficacy and safety of once-daily darunavir/ritonavir versus lopinavir/ritonavir in treatment-naive HIV-1-infected patients at week 48.

TL;DR: DRV/r 800/100 mg qd was non-inferior to LPV/ r 800/200 mg at 48 weeks, with a more favorable safety profile, and offers a new effective and well tolerated once-daily, first-line treatment option for treatment-naive patients.
