A Randomized, Double-Blind Phase II/III Trial of Monotherapy vs. Combination Therapy With Nucleoside Analogs in HIV-Infected Persons With CD4 Cells of 200-500/mm3

To determine the efficacy and safety of zidovudine ( AZT ) versus didanosine ( ddI ), AZT plus ddI, and AZT plus zalcitabine ( ddC ) in preventing disease progression in HIV-infected patients with CD4 counts of 200-500 cells/mm3.

Conditions

Detailed Description

Patients are randomized to receive AZT alone, AZT and ddI, AZT and ddC, or ddI alone for at least 2 years. Patients who develop AIDS or whose CD4 count falls to 50 percent or less of baseline are crossed over to another treatment arm.

PER AMENDMENT 4/5/95: Study treatment will be available until 10/31/95 at the latest for patients still taking study medications on 4/30/95, so that follow-up trials may be completed and approved.
