DART I - A Phase IV Study of 3 Antiretroviral Medicines in Combination, in HIV Patients Who Have Not Been Previously Treated With Antiretroviral Therapy
Daily Antiretroviral Therapy (DART 1): An Open-Label, Single-Arm, Prospective, Multicenter Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Didanosine Enteric Coated (Ddl-EC) in Combination With Lamivudine (3TC) and Efavirenz (EFV) Once Daily in Anti-Retroviral Therapy (ART) Naive HIV-Infected Patients

Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether a therapy with an all once daily regimen of efavirenz (EFV), didanosine (ddI)-EC and lamivudine (3TC) leads to improved outcomes, as measured by viral load, CD4 counts, adherence, safety, and tolerability.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Estimate efficacy of ddI-EC/3TC/EFV given QD determined by proportion of patients with plasma HIV-1 RNA <400 copies/mL at 48 weeks
Secondary Outcomes (13)
Evaluate proportion of patients with plasma HIV RNA <400 copies/mL at Weeks 24, 48, 72, and 96.
Evaluate proportion of patients with plasma HIV RNA <50 copies/mL at Weeks 24, 48, 72, and 96
Determine viral suppression of plasma HIV RNA from change in baseline at week 48
Determine proportion of patients whose HIV viral load doesn't drop to undetectable level within 24 weeks
Evaluate time to undetectable plasma HIV RNA
- +8 more secondary outcomes
