Purpose
The purpose of this study is to compare 2 anti-HIV drug combinations.
| Condition | Intervention | Phase |
|---|---|---|

HIV Infections |
Drug: Ritonavir Drug: Efavirenz Drug: Saquinavir |
Phase 3 |
| Study Type: | Interventional |
| Study Design: | Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study Primary Purpose: Treatment |
| Official Title: | An Open Label, Randomized, Multicenter Study to Evaluate Fortovase (Saquinavir) SGC QD, Norvir (Ritonavir) QD Plus Two NRTIs Vs Sustiva (Efavirenz) QD Plus Two NRTIs in HIV Infected Patients |
| Estimated Enrollment: | 146 |
| Study Start Date: | October 1999 |
Patients are stratified by HIV RNA: 5,000-75,000 vs greater than 75,000 copies/ml by Amplicor assay. Patients are randomized to two arms. Arm A receives SQV plus RTV plus two NRTIs. Arm B receives EFV plus two NRTIs. Patients must take their dose at approximately the same time every day. Patients have the option of taking daily dose in AM or PM. Patients are evaluated for changes in plasma HIV RNA levels and CD4/CD8 counts and for adverse experiences and laboratory determinations. Evaluations are made every 4-8 weeks until Week 48. Patients continuing beyond Week 48 who reach Weeks 60, 72, 84, and common study closure, will be seen at those weeks.
