Indinavir Plus Efavirenz Plus Adefovir Dipivoxil in HIV-Infected Patients Who Have Not Had Success With Nelfinavir
United States120 participants
Plain-language summary
The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of giving indinavir plus efavirenz plus adefovir dipivoxil to patients who have failed treatment with nelfinavir and patients who have never taken a protease inhibitor (PI). Effectiveness is measured by the number of patients who have a viral load (level of HIV in the blood) below 400 copies/ml after 48 weeks of treatment.
