ClinConnect Summary

The demonstrated antiviral activity, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic properties of DMP 266 and its utility in combination with other agents make DMP 266 an attractive agent for use in HIV-infected pediatric patients. However, the tolerability of DMP 266 in the pediatric population must be evaluated, and appropriate dosing instructions need to be developed. By following the patients over time, the antiviral activity of DMP 266-containing regimens will be documented. Dosage guidelines for children can then be developed following analysis of the results.
