Nevirapine and efavirenz pharmacokinetics and covariate analysis in the 2NN study

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this 2NN pharmacokinetic substudy was to investigate the population pharmacokinetics of nevirapine and efavirenz. METHODS: Treatment-naive, HIV-1-infected patients received nevirapine (once or twice daily), efavirenz or a …

Nevirapine and efavirenz elicit different changes in lipid profiles in antiretroviral-therapy-naive patients infected with HIV-1

BACKGROUND: Patients infected with HIV-1 initiating antiretroviral therapy (ART) containing a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) show presumably fewer atherogenic lipid changes than those initiating most ARTs containing a protease …

Highly active antiretroviral therapy with or without mycophenolate mofetil in treatment-naive HIV-1 patients

OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) on the decay rate of plasma HIV-1 RNA and the latently infected cellular reservoir in treatment-naive patients starting antiretroviral therapy. DESIGN:: Randomized trial. METHODS: A group …

Comparison of first-line antiretroviral therapy with regimens including nevirapine, efavirenz, or both drugs, plus stavudine and lamivudine: a randomised open-label trial, the 2NN Study

BACKGROUND: The 2NN Study was a randomised comparison of the non-nucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTI) nevirapine and efavirenz. METHODS: In this multicentre, open-label, randomised trial, 1216 antiretroviral-therapy-naive patients were …

A randomized trial to study first-line combination therapy with or without a protease inhibitor in HIV-1-infected patients

OBJECTIVE: To compare one protease inhibitor (PI)-based and two PI-sparing antiretroviral therapy regimens. METHODS: International, open label, randomized study of antiretroviral drug-naive patients, with CD4 lymphocyte counts textgreater/= 200 x 106 …

Nevirapine-containing antiretroviral therapy in HIV-1 infected patients results in an anti-atherogenic lipid profile

BACKGROUND: Protease inhibitor-containing antiretroviral therapy for the treatment of HIV-1 infection is associated with elevated triglyceride and low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol levels which may expose patients to an increased risk of …
