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 see if it is safe and effective to give MKC-442 plus stavudine (d4T) plus didanosine (ddI) plus hydroxyurea.

Detailed Description

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

Patients are randomized to receive either MKC-442 or placebo, along with stavudine(d4T), didanosine(ddI), and hydroxyurea. Patients will be treated and followed for 48 weeks.
