Reasons for using and efficacy of raltegravir in salvage regimens without protease inhibitors in clinical practice
نویسندگان
چکیده
Purpose of the study The efficacy of raltegravir (RAL) in salvage regimens without protease inhibitors (PI) has not been evaluated in randomized trials, and information about its efficacy and reasons for its initiation in cohort studies has received scant attention. In some particular scenarios physicians may be forced to use RAL without PI due to advanced protease resistance, toxicity or patient refusal.
