Recruitment Details
Key information relevant to the recruitment process for the overall study, such as dates of the recruitment period and locations
Phase III; First Patient In: 22-Mar-2006; Last Patient Last Visit for Week 48: 03-Aug-2007 63 sites (Australia, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Peru, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, Taiwan, and Thailand), 61 of which randomized patients.

Pre-Assignment Details
Significant events and approaches for the overall study following participant enrollment, but prior to group assignment
Patients failed prior antiretroviral therapy (HIV RNA >1000 copies/mL), and had documented resistance to at least one drug in each class of licensed oral antiretroviral therapy (Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase inhibitors, Non-Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase inhibitors and Protease Inhibitors). All patients must have met laboratory criteria.
