Brief Summary

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

To examine the efficacy of saquinavir SGC (soft gel capsules) in combination with other antiretrovirals in HIV-1 infected patients currently treated with saquinavir HGC (hard gel capsules) measured by the absolute change in plasma HIV-1 RNA during the 24 weeks of study treatment.

Detailed Description

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

Eligible patients will be stratified by HIV-1 RNA level into 2 populations: 1) \>= 5,000-30,000 HIV-1 RNA, 2) \> 30,000 HIV-1 RNA. All patients will be randomized to 1 of 3 treatment arms: Arm A - Saquinavir soft gel capsules (SQV SGC) + 2 new nucleoside analogs (reverse transcriptase inhibitors \[RTIs\]), Arm B - SQV SGC + nelfinavir + stavudine (d4T) or a new RTI, or Arm C - SQV SGC + ritonavir + d4T or a new RTI. All patients will undergo plasma HIV-1 RNA determinations, CD4 lymphocyte counts, hematology and chemistry blood work at baseline, weeks 4, 8, 12, 16 and 24.
