Activity of the Soft Gelatin Capsule of Saquinavir (SQVsgc) in Combination With Ritonavir or Nelfinavir and Combinations of Delavirdine and/or Adefovir Dipivoxil in HIV-Infected Subjects With Prior Indinavir Use and Viral Loads From 2,000 to 200,000 Copies HIV RNA/ml
While indinavir is currently the most commonly prescribed protease inhibitor, the optimal
therapy for a person on an indinavir-containing regimen who experiences a rebound in viral
load or never experiences a decrease in viral load below 500 copies per milliliter is
unknown. Current clinical practice for such patients typically involves empiric use of a
combination of other protease inhibitors (saquinavir/nelfinavir or saquinavir/ritonavir) and
at least 1 other antiretroviral agent to which the patient has had little or no prior
exposure. This may involve the use of 1 or more reverse transcriptase inhibitors (RTIs) or
nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs). This study attempts to formally
evaluate some of these options in indinavir-experienced patients.
Patients are stratified by HIV RNA (2,000 - 20,000 copies/ml versus 20,000 - 200,000
copies/ml), and randomized to 1 of 6 treatment arms as follows:
Arm A: Saquinavir (SQV) plus ritonavir (RTV) plus delavirdine (DLV) plus adefovir dipivoxil
placebo.
Arm B: SQV plus RTV plus DLV placebo plus adefovir dipivoxil. Arm C: SQV plus RTV plus DLV
plus adefovir dipivoxil. Arm D: SQV plus nelfinavir (NFV) plus DLV plus adefovir dipivoxil
placebo. Arm E: SQV plus NFV plus DLV placebo plus adefovir dipivoxil. Arm F: SQV plus NFV
plus DLV plus adefovir dipivoxil. In addition to assigned study treatment patients receive
an L-carnitine supplement.
Therapy is administered for 24 weeks. Patients who have an average HIV RNA value for Weeks
12 and 16 that is less than 5,000 copies or a least 1 log below their baseline value may
continue their assigned study treatment for an additional 24 weeks. [AS PER AMENDMENT
3/30/98: Subjects with plasma HIV RNA greater than 5,000 copies/ml may elect to continue or
discontinue study medications in the treatment extension and seek the best available
treatment.] [AS PER AMENDMENT 06/11/98: The dose of adefovir dipivoxil is reduced at or
after Week 16. Alternatively, patients may discontinue adefovir dipivoxil/placebo and
substitute appropriate antiretroviral agent(s) or add appropriate antiretroviral agent(s) to
their reduced-dose regimen. Also, at the discretion of the protocol chairperson, patients
who have been on study for more than 16 weeks may substitute appropriate FDA-approved
antiretroviral agent(s) for any study medication that must be discontinued because of
toxicity. Addition of nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors, protease inhibitors,
or investigational agents is specifically excluded.]
