NCT00001133

Brief Summary

In this study, the protease inhibitors indinavir (IDV) and ritonavir (RTV) will be studied in patients who have high levels of virus while taking other protease inhibitors. The purpose of this study is to see how the body takes in, distributes, and gets rid of IDV and RTV. This study will also look at any side effects that IDV or RTV causes. IDV is an effective anti-HIV drug, but it can be difficult for patients to take. For IDV to work against HIV, it must be taken 3 times a day at a high dose and with a certain diet. Doctors believe IDV may be easier to take if it is given with RTV. Patients who take IDV and RTV together may be able to take IDV only twice a day and at a lower dose. This study will gather information about the safety and side effects of using IDV and RTV together.

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Patients may be eligible for this study if they:
  • Are HIV-positive.
  • Are at least 18 years old.
  • Have a viral load (level of HIV in the blood) of at least 500 copies/ml but no more than 100,000 copies/ml within 45 days of study entry.
  • Have been taking the following anti-HIV drug combination for at least 12 weeks before study entry: 2 NRTIs plus amprenavir (APV), nelfinavir (NFV), saquinavir (SQV), or NFV plus SQV.
  • Are naive to at least 1 NRTI. This means that there is at least 1 NRTI that the patient has not taken for more than 14 days. In the case of lamivudine (3TC), naive means that the patient has never taken this drug.
  • Are willing and able to drink 1.5 liters (a little over 1.5 quarts) of water or other fluids a day.
  • Agree to use an effective barrier method of birth control (such as condoms) during the study and for 3 months after.

You may not qualify if:

  • Patients will not be eligible for this study if they:
  • Have taken protease inhibitors other than APV, NFV, SQV, or NFV plus SQV.
  • Are resistant to the effects of IDV or RTV, as shown by a blood test. (Patients whose viral load is between 500 and 1,000 copies/ml will not need to be tested.)
  • Have any active opportunistic (AIDS-related) infection in the 14 days before study entry.
  • Have any medical condition or history of disease that would prevent them from completing the study or put them at risk.
  • Have cancer that requires chemotherapy.
  • Have an active infection that requires treatment in the 14 days before study entry.
  • Have a fever for a week or more in the 30 days before study entry.
  • Have taken nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) in the 30 days before study entry.
  • Have received a vaccine in the 21 days before study entry.
  • Have received an experimental drug or a drug that affects the immune system in the 30 days before study entry.
  • Have taken or plan to take certain other medications that may affect the study.
  • Are pregnant or breast-feeding.
