Brief Summary

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

PRIMARY: To compare the frequency of and time to relapse of Cytomegalovirus (CMV) gastrointestinal disease following foscarnet induction therapy only versus induction plus maintenance therapy.

SECONDARY: To determine frequency of and time to recurrence of gastrointestinal symptoms, response rate of pathological lesions, and incidence of nongastrointestinal CMV disease in this patient population.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Patients receive intravenous foscarnet either as induction only for 4 weeks or as induction for 4 weeks followed by maintenance for 22 weeks. All patients are followed for 26 weeks or until relapse.
