About this study

Official title: A Multi-Center, Placebo-Controlled, Double-Blind, Randomized Trial Comparing the Activity, Safety, and Tolerance of 1) 400 Mg Nevirapine in Combination With 500-600 Mg Zidovudine Versus Zidovudine Alone in Asymptomatic HIV-1 Infected Patients With 3-24 Months of Prior Zidovudine Therapy and 200-500 CD4 Cells/mm3 and 2) 400 Mg Nevirapine Versus Nevirapine Placebo in Asymptomatic HIV-1 Nucleoside Naive Patients With 200-500 CD4 Cells/mm3

PRIMARY: To compare the effect of nevirapine versus placebo alone or in combination with zidovudine (AZT) on CD4 T-cell count and percentage after 3 and 6 months of treatment. To evaluate the safety and tolerance of nevirapine alone or in combination with AZT.

SECONDARY: To compare the effects of the various treatment combinations on virologic and immunologic markers.

Read the detailed description

In Part I, patients who have had prior AZT therapy receive either nevirapine or placebo in combination with AZT. In Part II, patients who are nucleoside naive receive either nevirapine or matching placebo. After 6 months, patients receive open-label nevirapine.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Nevirapine and Zidovudine in people with HIV Infections, run by Boehringer Ingelheim at 18 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 15 inclusion and 41 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Jun 2005. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 18 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00002324, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 24 Jun 2005.
