First-line therapy with LPV/r vs NVP and 2 NRTIs in a developing country: W144 of a randomized trial
نویسندگان
چکیده
Materials and methods Naive p. from 5 clinics in Lubumbashi (Congo-DRC) were randomized to receive LPV/r versus NVP combined with TDF/FTC or ZDV/3TC. VL and CD4 were performed at baseline (BL) and every 24 weeks (W). The primary endpoint was the % of p. with therapeutic failure defined as clinical and virologic failures (VL>1000 c/ml)(missing data=failure), assessed at W48 and 96. We present here the results of 144 W of follow-up.
