Measure
Open-label Study With the Simon Two-Stage Trial Design
All subjects will be dosed with nelfinavir 750 mg orally three times daily. This dose may be decreased to 750 mg twice daily if not tolerated. For both stages of the trial the dosing period is 8 weeks followed by a 4 week observation period. A maximum of 13 subjects will be enrolled in Stage 1. From the 13 subjects enrolled in Stage 1; if 3 or fewer subjects achieve a Response (a ≥35% reduction in serum anti-dsDNA antibody titer), the trial will be terminated. If 4 or more subjects achieve a Response, the study will be expanded to enroll an additional maximum of 30 patients in Stage 2.
