A Phase II/III Randomized, Open-Label Study of Combination Antiretroviral Regimens and Treatment-Switching Strategies in HIV-1-Infected Antiretroviral Naive Children Between 30 Days and 18 Years of Age
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating NRTIs (ABC, FTC, FTC/TDF, 3TC, 3TC/AZT, d4T, TDF, ddC, AZT), NNRTIs (EFV, NVP), and 1 other intervention for HIV Infections. Completed, enrolled 266 participants across 31 sites in 2 countries.
Detailed Summary
Little is known about what treatment combinations are best for HIV infected children. This study examined the long-term effectiveness of different anti-HIV drug combinations in children and strategies for switching treatment if the first treatment does not work. The study enrolled children who had not previously taken anti-HIV medication. Participants in this study were recruited in the United States, South America and Europe. Some European children may also enroll in a substudy that will observe changes in body fat in children taking anti-HIV medications.
