TMC125 (Phase II Study) in 150 HIV+ Patients with Resistance to NNRTIs and 3 or More Protease Inhibitor Mutations
 
 
  This study is currently recruiting patients.
Sponsored by
Tibotec Pharmaceutical
 
Study Purpose
 
The purpose of this study is to investigate the ability of TMC125, a Non-Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitor (NNRTI), to lower the amount of virus inyour blood when administered twice daily for 48 weeks. TMC125 will be given in addition to a combination of anti-HIV drugs that have been selected specifically for you by your doctor. There are three treatment groups in the study. One group will be given a dosage of TMC125, 400 mg twice daily. Another will be given 800 mg twice daily. The third group, a control arm, will not receive TMC125. The safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics (determinations of the concentration of drug in your blood and its evolution over time) of TMC125 will also be evaluated in this study. Patients who have known resistance to NNRTIs and 3 or more protease inhibitor (PI) mutations may be eligible to participate. One-hundred-fifty (150) patients will be enrolled into this study.
