Capravirine Studies

Two studies testing the effectiveness of Capravirine (in combination with other antiretrovirals), an NNRTI that may work against virus resistant to other NNRTIs.

 

 

Background

 

Some patients develop resistance to the NNRTI's currently routinely prescribed for those persons infected with HIV-1. Development of a new potent antiretroviral compound is needed for patients who have multi-drug resistant HIV-1.

 

Objective

 

Capravirine 002: To determine whether the addition of capravirine to a 3-drug regimen of will inhibit HIV replication.

Capravirine 006: To determine the optimal safe and effective dose of capravirine in combination with a 3-drug regimen.

 

 

 

Study
Design

 

Capravirine 002: This study will evaluate two doses of capravirine (200, 400 and 700 mg twice daily) and placebo when taken in combination with Kaletra™ and NRTIs.

Capravirine 006: This study will evaluate three doses of capravirine (700 and 1400 mg twice daily) and placebo when taken in combination with Viracept™ and NRTIs.
