About this study

Official title: Comparison of HIV RNA Suppression Produced by Triple Regimens Containing Either Didanosine Enteric Coated or Didanosine Formulations Each Administered Once Daily

Didanosine is an effective anti-HIV drug, but it can cause stomach upset. This study tests a new form of didanosine, ddI EC, a coated pill that passes through the stomach more easily and hopefully will prevent stomach upset. The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of ddI EC versus the standard form of ddI. Both forms of ddI will be given with stavudine (d4T) plus nelfinavir (NLF).

Read the detailed description

Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 open-label treatment groups. Group 1 receives ddI EC plus d4T plus NLF for 48 weeks. Group 2 receives ddI plus d4T plus NLF for 48 weeks. Both forms of ddI are administered orally once daily. Antiviral activity is determined by the magnitude and the duration of reduction of plasma HIV RNA from baseline through Week 24.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Nelfinavir mesylate, Stavudine and Didanosine in people with HIV Infections, run by Bristol-Myers Squibb at 24 sites in 2 countries.

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 4 inclusion and 8 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 25 Apr 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 24 sites in United States, Canada. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?
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 25 Apr 2011.
