There are about 2656 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Puerto Rico. The country of the clinical trial is determined by the location of where the clinical research is being studied. Most studies are often held in multiple locations & countries.
The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and effectiveness of taking lamivudine (3TC) plus zidovudine (ZDV) plus a protease inhibitor (PI) with taking the 3TC/ZDV combination tablet (Combivir) plus a PI. This study also examines how well patients follow the dosing schedules for these drugs. Doctors believe that taking Combivir plus a PI may be as effective as taking 3TC plus ZDV plus a PI.
To evaluate the safety of topically applied SP-303 gel and to compare the efficacy of SP-303 gel in combination with acyclovir, relative to acyclovir alone, for the treatment of recurrent Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) 1 and 2 infections, affecting the genital, perianal and neighboring areas, in patients with AIDS.
To evaluate the safety and tolerance of the combination of adefovir dipivoxil at two comparative doses and nelfinavir plus saquinavir SGC administered orally (Group 1) vs. the combination of adefovir dipivoxil and nelfinavir plus either zidovudine, lamivudine, or stavudine (Group 2) vs. the combination of adefovir dipivoxil and saquinavir SGC plus either zidovudine, lamivudine, or stavudine (Group 3) in HIV-infected patients with prior nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor therapy but no prior exposure to protease inhibitors who have CD4 cell counts >= 100 cells/mm3 and an HIV-1 RNA baseline copy number >= 5000 copies/ml. To determine the proportion of patients whose plasma HIV-1 RNA level falls below the level of detection (<500 copies/ml) at 20 weeks of study therapy and the average reduction in HIV-1 RNA from baseline through study week 20. To evaluate the durability of the antiviral response through 48 weeks of study in patients who continue on study therapy after week 24.
The purpose of this study is to see if megestrol acetate is safe and effective in treating HIV-infected children with failure to thrive (FTT).
The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and effectiveness of two anti-HIV drug combinations when given to HIV-infected patients who have never been treated with anti-HIV drugs. One drug combination is stavudine (d4T) plus didanosine (ddI) plus Crixivan. The other combination is Retrovir (AZT) plus Epivir (3TC) plus Crixivan.
PART I: To evaluate the safety, tolerance, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of three fixed doses of delavirdine mesylate (DLV) in combination with zidovudine (AZT) versus AZT alone in HIV-positive patients. PART II: To evaluate the safety, tolerance, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of ZDV plus 3TC with or without DLV versus ZDV plus DLV in HIV-positive patients.
To evaluate the safety, tolerance, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy of delavirdine mesylate (U-90152S) in combination with didanosine (ddI) versus ddI alone in HIV-positive patients.
To confirm results from a previous study in which the combination of thymopentin plus zidovudine ( AZT ), an antiretroviral agent, slowed disease progression in HIV-infected asymptomatic patients. To evaluate the efficacy and safety of thymopentin in HIV-infected asymptomatic patients receiving either monotherapy with AZT, didanosine ( ddI ), or stavudine ( d4T ), or combination antiretroviral therapy with AZT / ddI or AZT / zalcitabine ( ddC ).
To compare the efficacy and safety of orally administered didanosine (ddI) with orally administered zidovudine (AZT) in the treatment of patients who exhibit increasing clinical deterioration despite treatment with AZT.
To evaluate the safety and tolerance, in patients with severe clinical manifestations of HIV infection, of zidovudine (AZT) administered daily for 48 weeks as a low dose every 4 hours or a higher dose every 12 hours.
