HIV | Drug: stavudine | Phase 4 |
Stavudine is a nucleoside inhibitor larged used in HIV treatments and has been associated to mithocondrial toxicity. As it is still largely used in developping countries,the evaluation of reducing dose is of importance.
A single-arm open pilot 48 weeks study to evaluate the capacity of a switch from d4T 40 mg to 30 mg bid in patients with body weight > 60kg to maintain full viral load suppression. Clinical and biological evaluations were carried out at baseline, W24 and W48. Primary end-point is viral load suppression (<400 coies/ml) at W24.
Secondary end-points are : Evolution of CD4 count at W24 and W48, neurological examination at Baseline, W24 and W48, metabolic parameters and stavudine PK at W24.
