  Purpose

The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of continuing or discontinuing 3TC treatment in the presence of HIV virus with 3TC resistance for persons who are on a regimen including least three other anti-HIV drugs. The overall aim is to determine whether continuing 3TC is of benefit in HIV-positive persons who have already shown resistance to this drug.

Further study details as provided by University of British Columbia:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Virologic failure (VL above 50 copies/ml) on two consecutive dates, at least two weeks apart, in the absence of concurrent acute illness or recent immunization during the first 24 weeks. [ Time Frame: 24 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Percent and absolute change in viral load from baseline to week 24 and week 48. [ Time Frame: 48 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Change in CD4 count in both absolute number and percentage from baseline to week 24 and week 48. [ Time Frame: 48 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Estimated Enrollment: 152
