OBJECTIVE To compare the efficacy, tolerability and safety of a ritonavir 400 mg/saquinavir hard gel fomulation 400 mg twice daily versus an indinavir 800 mg once every 8 h containing first-line protease inhibitor (PI) treatment regimen. METHODS Open, randomized, multicentre clinical trial. PI-naive patients received either ritonavir/saquinavir and one nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) or indinavir and two NRTIs. Intention-to-treat (ITT) and on-treatment (OT) analyses were performed. RESULTS The baseline characteristics of the study participants were similar in both arms, 67 patients (37%) were naive to antiretroviral treatment. The proportion of patients who achieved a plasma viral load below the level of detection of 400 copies/ml at week 48 was 43% (39/90) in the ritonavir/saquinavir arm and 63% (57/90) in the indinavir arm (P=0.005, I

D000163 Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome An acquired defect of cellular immunity associated with infection by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), a CD4-positive T-lymphocyte count under 200 cells/microliter or less than 14% of total lymphocytes, and increased susceptibility to opportunistic infections and malignant neoplasms. Clinical manifestations also include emaciation (wasting) and dementia. These elements reflect criteria for AIDS as defined by the CDC in 1993.
