June 23, 2005 updated by: Glaxo Wellcome

A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Phase III Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of 141W94 Plus Current Nucleoside Therapy Versus Current Nucleoside Therapy Alone in Protease-Naive, HIV-Infected Children

The purpose of this study is to see if it is safe and effective to add a new protease inhibitor (PI), 141W94, to an anti-HIV regimen that includes 2 nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs).
