Recruitment Details
Key information relevant to the recruitment process for the overall study, such as dates of the recruitment period and locations
Recruited at AIDS Clinical Trials Units in the United States and Puerto Rico. Recruitment occurred between October 5, 2006 (date first subject was randomized) and January 7, 2008 (date last subject was randomized).

Pre-Assignment Details
Significant events and approaches for the overall study following participant enrollment, but prior to group assignment
A total of 167 subjects were randomized, and results are reported for 165 eligible participants; two subjects never started study medication and were excluded from all analyses. The subjects were stratified by antiretroviral therapy use, stavudine (d4T) or zidovudine (AZT/ZDV).

Reporting Groups
  Description
NucleomaxX Participants received NucleomaxX for uridine through week 48
Placebo Participants received NucleomaxX placebo through week 48
