Reason for dividing into subpopulations (G-BA) Previous treatment

a) treatment-naïve adolescents with HIV-1 infection aged 12 to < 18 years, in whom no resistance to the NNRTI class has been detected either currently or in the past

  • For both treatment-naïve and treatment-experienced adolescents with HIV-1 infection aged 12 to < 18 years, in whom no resistance to the NNRTI class has been detected either currently or in the past, the additional benefit of doravirine in combination with other antiretroviral medicinal products is not proven compared with the appropriate comparator therapy.
  • Overall, the pharmaceutical manufacturer did not submit any study for this patient population that would have been suitable for assessing the additional benefit of doravirine compared with the appropriate comparator therapy.

b) treatment-experienced adolescents with HIV-1 infection aged 12 to < 18 years, in whom no resistance to the NNRTI class has been detected either currently or in the past

  • For both treatment-naïve and treatment-experienced adolescents with HIV-1 infection aged 12 to < 18 years, in whom no resistance to the NNRTI class has been detected either currently or in the past, an additional benefit of doravirine in combination with other antiretroviral medicinal products is not proven compared with the appropriate comparator therapy.
  • Overall, the pharmaceutical manufacturer did not submit any study for this patient population that would have been suitable for assessing the additional benefit of doravirine compared with the appropriate comparator therapy.
