To evaluate the safety and efficacy of four different regimens of didanosine (ddI) + stavudine (d4T) in HIV-infected Thais.
Prospective, open-label, randomized study.
Patients were randomized to four regimens of high and low doses of ddI and d4T or to ddI alone. D4T was added to the ddI-alone arm after week 24. The duration of study was 48 weeks.
Seventy-eight patients were randomized (mean CD4 cell count, 255 x 10(6)/l; mean plasma HIV-1 RNA; 4.3 log10 copies/ml). In the intent-to-treat analysis, 78% of patients in the pooled combination arms and 20% of the patients in the ddI alone arm (to which d4T was added after 24 weeks) showed plasma HIV-1 RNA < 500 copies/ml at week 24 (P < 0.001), and 59% versus 53% at week 48, respectively. In addition, the proportion of patients with < 50 HIV-1 RNA copies/ml was 13% versus 7% at week 24 (P = 0.5) and 17% versus 20% at week 48 respectively. At week 24, median CD4 cell count increases from baseline were 101 x 10(6)/l in the pooled combination versus 76 x 10(6)/l in the ddI alone arm (P = 0.78). Logistic regression modeling suggested a correlation between receiving high dose ddI and achieving HIV-1 RNA < 500 copies/ml at week 48 (P = 0.07).
The d4T/ddI combination was superior to ddI alone in producing HIV-1 viral suppression. At week 48, > 60% of patients treated with this combination reached HIV-1 RNA levels < 500 copies/ml. Receiving high dose ddI but not d4T may correlate with a better viral suppression.
评估四种不同的去羟肌苷(ddI)+司他夫定(d4T)治疗方案对泰国HIV感染者的安全性和疗效。
前瞻性、开放标签、随机研究。
患者被随机分为四种高低剂量ddI和d4T联合方案组或单独使用ddI组。单独使用ddI组在第24周后加用d4T。研究持续时间为48周。
78例患者被随机分组(平均CD4细胞计数,255×10⁶/l;平均血浆HIV-1 RNA;4.3 log₁₀拷贝/ml)。在意向性分析中,联合用药组78%的患者和单独使用ddI组(24周后加用d4T)20%的患者在第24周时血浆HIV-1 RNA<500拷贝/ml(P<0.001),在第48周时分别为59%和53%。此外,HIV-1 RNA拷贝/ml<50的患者比例在第24周时分别为13%和7%(P = 0.5),在第48周时分别为17%和20%。在第24周时,联合用药组CD4细胞计数中位数较基线增加101×10⁶/l,单独使用ddI组为76×10⁶/l(P = 0.78)。逻辑回归模型表明,接受高剂量ddI与在第48周时HIV-1 RNA<500拷贝/ml之间存在相关性(P = 0.07)。
d4T/ddI联合方案在抑制HIV-1病毒方面优于单独使用ddI。在第48周时,接受该联合方案治疗的患者中超过60%的患者HIV-1 RNA水平<500拷贝/ml。接受高剂量ddI而非d4T可能与更好的病毒抑制相关。
