Dolutegravir[1] is an experimental new drug under investigation for the treatment of HIV infection. Dolutegravir is an integrase inhibitor. Also known as S/GSK1349572 or just "572", the drug is under development by GlaxoSmithKline (GSK). Studies have shown dolutegravir to be effective in patients with resistance to the integrase inhibitor, raltegravir.[2] Clinical trials are underway to support dolutegravir in combination with abacavir and lamivudine, in a new new fixed dose combination called 572-Trii.[3] In February, 2013 the Food and Drug Administration announced that it would fast track dolutegravir's approval process.[4]

Results from the 96-week comparison with efavirenz, SPRING-1, showed dolutegravir 50mg orally to be effective at reducing HIV viral load and raising CD4 counts in integrase-naive patients. [5]
