Trial Design

5Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Weight Band #5 (25 kg or greater at study entry)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Children weighing 25 kg or greater at study entry. These children received 1 immediate release tablet of ABC/DTG/3TC daily.
Group II: Weight Band #4 (20 to less than 25 kg at study entry)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Children weighing 20 to less than 25 kg at study entry. These children received 6 dispersible tablets of ABC/DTG/3TC daily while weighing 20-\<25 kg; as their weight increased, they received higher doses consistent with their new weight band.
Group III: Weight Band #3 (14 to less than 20 kg at study entry)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Children weighing 14 to less than 20 kg at study entry. These children received 5 dispersible tablets of ABC/DTG/3TC daily while weighing 14-\<20 kg; as their weight increased, they received higher doses consistent with their new weight band.
Group IV: Weight Band #2 (10 to less than 14 kg at study entry)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Children weighing 10 to less than 14 kg at study entry. These children received 4 dispersible tablets of ABC/DTG/3TC daily while weighing 10-\<14 kg; as their weight increased, they received higher doses consistent with their new weight band.
Group V: Weight Band #1 (6 to less than 10 kg at study entry)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Children weighing 6 to less than 10 kg at study entry. These children received 3 dispersible tablets of ABC/DTG/3TC daily while weighing 6-\<10 kg; as their weight increased, they received higher doses consistent with their new weight band.
