A Multicenter, Open-Label, Randomized, 24-Week Study to Compare the Safety and Activity of Indinavir Sulfate, 800 Mg q 8 h Versus 1,200 Mg q 12 h in Combination With Zidovudine and 3TC

To demonstrate that the antiviral activity and safety/tolerability of a test regimen of indinavir is equivalent to that of a control regimen of indinavir when each is coadministered with zidovudine (ZDV) (or stavudine, d4T) and lamivudine (3TC) for 24 weeks to protease inhibitor- and 3TC-naive HIV-1-seropositive patients. To characterize the steady-state pharmacokinetic profiles of indinavir, ZDV (or d4T), and 3TC in the presence of each other, for both the control and test regimen groups.

About this study

Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms:

Arm A: Indinavir plus ZDV plus 3TC. Arm B: Indinavir (test dose) plus ZDV plus 3TC. NOTE: d4T may be substituted for zidovudine for toxicity management. Patients are stratified based on prior use of nucleoside analogs (naive vs experienced to ZDV, dideoxyinosine [ddI], dideoxycytidine [ddC], and d4T) and screening viral RNA results (lower than 50,000 copies/mL vs more than 50,000 copies/mL).
