Description

There is some evidence that AZT and sCD4-PE40, an experimental drug with anti-HIV activity previously demonstrated in vitro, may produce increased benefit when used in combination in HIV-infected patients. Cohorts of six patients each receive escalating doses of sCD4-PE40 in a single IV weekly dose for 8 weeks. All six patients at a given dose must complete 2 weeks of therapy without dose-limiting toxicity before dose escalation in subsequent patient cohorts may occur. The MTD is defined as the dose of sCD4-PE40 immediately below that at which two or more of six patients experience grade 3...
