A Phase I Randomized Dose/Formulation Comparison Study of SC-52151

PRIMARY: To evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and ethanol exposure of two dose regimens and formulations of SC-52151.

SECONDARY: To evaluate the preliminary anti-HIV activity of these treatment regimens and the relationship between day 14 plasma concentrations of SC-52151 and immunological and virological markers and toxicity.

Since viral isolates with decreased susceptibility to the protease inhibitor SC-52151 occur in vitro after multiple passages, and since prolonged post infectious effects occur in vitro, comparison of two formulations, an elixir and a self-emulsifying drug delivery system (SEDDS), is needed to determine the appropriate dose formulation for Phase II studies.

Detailed Description

Since viral isolates with decreased susceptibility to the protease inhibitor SC-52151 occur in vitro after multiple passages, and since prolonged post infectious effects occur in vitro, comparison of two formulations, an elixir and a self-emulsifying drug delivery system (SEDDS), is needed to determine the appropriate dose formulation for Phase II studies.

Patients are randomized to four treatment arms to receive SC-52151 elixir or SEDDS formulation at 1 of 2 doses for 2 weeks, with follow-up for 14 days.
