Trial Review

Did you know?

The ANZCTR now automatically displays published trial results and simplifies the addition of trial documents such as unpublished protocols and statistical analysis plans.

These enhancements will offer a more comprehensive view of trials, regardless of whether their results are positive, negative, or inconclusive.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

* Zidovudine therapy for greater than four weeks or prior discontinuation due to drug toxicity.
* Prior therapy with ddI, ddC, D4T, or interferon.
* Any experimental therapy within 30 days.
* Therapy within 30 days with neurotoxic drugs.

Prior Treatment:

Excluded:
