Summary
This study focuses on HIV-1 infected individuals who have CD4 counts of less than or equal to 300/mm3. The main goal is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a drug combination involving Delavirdine Mesylate (U-90152S) and Didanosine (ddI), compared to using Didanosine (ddI) alone. This research is important as it aims to find a better treatment option for HIV-positive patients, potentially improving their quality of life and addressing the challenges associated with current treatments. During this trial, participants are randomly assigned to two groups. One group receives a combination of Delavirdine Mesylate (U-90152S) and Didanosine (ddI), while the other group receives only Didanosine (ddI). The study measures the body's response to these treatments, looking at how well the drugs work, how they are processed in the body, and any potential side effects. This helps researchers understand the safety and effectiveness of the drug combination compared to the single drug therapy.
