AUTHOR CONCLUSIONS
Raltegravir was generally well tolerated.
HIV+ adolescents ages 12-18 receiving 8 mg/kg (mean dose 390 mg) bid achieved exposures similar to adults receiving 400 mg bid.
Stage II will assess safety and efficacy using a RAL 400 mf bid regimen in this age group, regardless of weight and without regard to food.
