Brief Title  Safety and Effectiveness of Adding PMPA Prodrug to an Anti-HIV Drug Combination to Treat HIV-Infected Patients
Official Title  A Phase II, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study of the Safety and Antiviral Activity of the Addition of PMPA Prodrug to Combination Antiretroviral Regimens in Treatment-Experienced HIV-Infected Patients
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to see if it is safe and effective to add PMPA Prodrug (a new anti-HIV drug) to an anti-HIV drug combination taken by patients who have taken anti-HIV drugs in the past. Genetic response will be studied.

Detailed Description

Prior to study entry patients are stratified according to HIV-1 RNA level, CD4 cell count, and number of antiretroviral drugs. PMPA Prodrug or placebo is added to current antiretroviral regimens, and is administered in one of three dosing regimens. Patients randomized to receive placebo are eligible to receive open-label PMPA Prodrug for the remainder of the 48-week study period after at least 24 weeks post randomization.
