- Abstract
- To compare the efficacy, tolerability and safety of a ritonavir 400 mg/saquinavir hard gel fomulation 400 mg twice daily versus an indinavir 800 mg once every 8 h containing first-line protease inhibitor (PI) treatment regimen. Open, randomized, multicentre clinical trial. PI-naive patients received either ritonavir/saquinavir and one nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) or indinavir and two NRTIs. Intention-to-treat (ITT) and on-treatment (OT) analyses were performed. The baseline characteristics of the study participants were similar in both arms, 67 patients (37%) were naive to antiretroviral treatment. The proportion of patients who achieved a plasma viral load below the level of detection of 400 copies/ml at week 48 was 43% (39/90) in the ritonavir/saquinavir arm and 63% (57/90) in the indinavir arm (P=0.005, I
