Description

The HIV genome contains a number of genes that regulate viral replication. Control of the activity of these genes and their encoded proteins represents a potential target for development of new antiretroviral drugs. The tat (transactivator of transcription of HIV) antagonist Ro 24-7429 is the first compound for clinical testing that utilizes this approach for therapy of HIV infection. Ninety-six patients (four treatment arms of 24 patients each) are randomized to receive oral Ro 24-7429 at 1 of 3 doses or nucleoside control (either zidovudine or didanosine). The study will be blinded only ...
