To determine, in HIV-infected patients, the magnitude and duration of the biological effects of ditiocarb sodium (sodium diethyldithiocarbamate; DTC) that may be relevant to treatment of HIV infection. DTC has been studied in previous clinical trials in HIV-infected patients with the suggestion of delay in disease progression to AIDS and improvement in CD4 counts while on the drug. DTC has been studied in previous clinical trials in HIV-infected patients with the suggestion of delay in disease progression to AIDS and improvement in CD4 counts while on the drug. Two groups of patients, one group asymptomatic and the other with AIDS diagnosis, are enrolled in the study. All patients receive DTC intravenously once a week for two weeks. Drugs are given on days 1 and 8. Blood samples are drawn on days 1, 3, 5, 8, 10, and 12.

Protocol

This section provides details of the study plan, including how the study is designed and what the study is measuring.
Design Details
12 patients to be enrolledTotal number of participants that the clinical trial aims to recruit.
Treatment Study
These studies test new ways to treat a disease, condition, or health issue. The goal is to see if a new drug, therapy, or approach works better or has fewer side effects than existing options.

How the interventions assigned to participants is kept confidential
Everyone involved in the study knows which treatment is being given. This is typically used when it's not possible or necessary to hide the treatment details from participants or researchers.

Other Ways to Mask Information
Single-blind: Participants do not know which treatment they are receiving, but researchers do.
Double-blind: Neither participants nor researchers know which treatment is given.
Triple-blind: Participants, researchers, and outcome assessors do not know which treatment is given.
Quadruple-blind: Participants, researchers, outcome assessors, and care providers all do not know which treatment is given.

Eligibility

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria: person's general health condition or prior treatments.
