Summary
This is a multicenter, open-label study. Patients are stratified by HIV-1 RNA levels (20,000 to 200,000 copies/ml and greater than 200,000 copies/ml). Patients are equally randomized to one of four groups and receive antiretroviral therapy for 24 weeks. Group 1 receives delavirdine (DLV) plus nelfinavir (NFV) plus stavudine (d4T). Group 2 receives DLV plus NFV plus didanosine (ddI). Group 3 receives NFV plus d4T plus ddI. Group 4 receives DLV plus NFV plus d4T plus ddI. Patients are evaluated for drug safety and viral burden. Patients may opt to continue on the study for 24 additional weeks, at the discretion of the investigator.
