Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this study is to test the safety and effectiveness of a new non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI), (+)-calanolide A, in HIV-positive patients who have never received anti-HIV treatment.

Detailed Description

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

Patients are randomized into 2 cohorts, with Cohort 2 receiving a higher dosage than Cohort 1. Patients in each cohort receive either (+)-calanolide A or a placebo for 14 days, followed by a 14-day follow-up period. Following study treatment, patients may elect to receive an open-label, 6-month course of anti-HIV drugs to be selected by and administered under the care of the patient's physician.
