A Randomised, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Trial to Compare the Safety and Efficacy of Reduced Dose Versus Standard Dose EFV Plus Two Nucleotides (N(t)RTI) in Antiretroviral-naïve HIV-infected Adults Over 96 Weeks
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating Efavirenz 600mg and Efavirenz 400mg for HIV Infections. Completed, enrolled 636 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Clinical data suggests that the standard dose of the anti-HIV medication, efavirenz (EFV), could be reduced without compromising its effectiveness. Lower drug doses could have fewer side effects and would make EFV more affordable. The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and effectiveness, over 96 weeks, of standard (600mg) versus reduced dose (400mg) EFV in controlling HIV as part of initial combination antiretroviral therapy.
