Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

PRIMARY: To determine the efficacy and toxicity of three treatment regimens: saquinavir mesylate (Ro 31-8959) plus zidovudine (AZT) vs. AZT plus zalcitabine (dideoxycytidine; ddC) vs. Ro 31-8959 plus AZT plus ddC.

SECONDARY: To investigate the pharmacokinetics and effects on various clinical parameters of the three regimens.
