ODYSSEY recruited children living with HIV aged at least 28 days and younger than 18 years, weighing at least 3 kg, starting first-line ART (ODYSSEY A), or switching to second-line therapy after treatment failure (ODYSSEY B). Children were randomly assigned (1:1) to dolutegravir plus two nucleoside or nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs; dolutegravir group) versus the SOC group (non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor [NNRTI], boosted protease inhibitor, or non-dolutegravir integrase strand-transfer inhibitor, plus two NRTIs). Two randomised cohorts were combined in this exploratory analysis: children weighing at least 14 kg were enrolled between Sept 20, 2016, and June 22, 2018, and children weighing less than 14 kg were enrolled between July 5, 2018, and Aug 26, 2019. Virological failure was defined as an inadequate virological response at week 24 with an ART switch or confirmed HIV-1 RNA viral load of at least 400 copies per mL after week 36. Virological suppression was defined as two consecutive viral loads of less than 400 copies per mL and was compared between groups, including an ART switch and death as competing risks. Children with virological failure were tested for post-failure genotypic resistance, with baseline results used to identify emergent resistance. Development of emergent resistance was a secondary trial outcome and all other outcomes are exploratory. ODYSSEY was registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT02259127), EUDRACT (2014-002632-14), and ISRCTN (ISRCTN91737921).</p><p><strong>Findings: </strong>In ODYSSEY at enrolment, 381 participants started first-line ART (ODYSSEY A: 189 in the dolutegravir group and 192 in the SOC group) and 407 participants started second-line ART (ODYSSEY B: 202 in the dolutegravir group and 205 in the SOC group). 72 participants in ODYSSEY A and 13 participants in ODYSSEY B weighed less than 14 kg. 401 (51%) of 788 participants were female and 387 (49%) were male.
