Lopinavir/Ritonavir/Combivir vs. Abacavir/Zidovudine/Lamivudine for Virologic Efficacy and the Prevention of Mother-to-Child HIV Transmission Among Breastfeeding Women With CD4 Counts Greater Than or Equal to 200 Cells/mm3 in Botswana
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Trizivir, Lamivudine/Zidovudine, and 2 other interventions for HIV Infections. Completed, enrolled 730 participants across 4 sites.
Detailed Summary
Anti-HIV drug regimens have dramatically improved the rates of prevention of mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) of HIV in developed countries. However, little is known of the effectiveness of such regimens in developing countries, such as Botswana. This study will determine whether Trizivir (TZV), a single pill containing abacavir sulfate, lamivudine, and zidovudine (ABC/3TC/ZDV), or lopinavir/ritonavir (LPV/r) and lamivudine/zidovudine (3TC/ZDV) is more effective in reducing HIV-1 viral load and preventing MTCT among HIV infected pregnant women in Botswana.
