ClinConnect Summary

Characteristics of virus replication, pathogenicity, and resistance are thought to determine the durability of virologic and clinical response to nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors. Previous results of ACTG 175 suggest that either a switch to ddI or addition of ddI in patients receiving AZT results in better clinical, virologic, and CD4 cell response compared to continuation of AZT alone.

Patients with prior AZT experience only are randomized to receive either d4T alone or AZT/3TC. Patients with prior ddI experience only are randomized to receive ddI/AZT or ddI/AZT/3TC. PER AMENDM...
