Details and patient eligibility

About

The purpose of this study is to see if it is safe to give 1592U89 to children (aged 6 months until 14th birthday) with advanced HIV infection who have few treatment options available. The study also examines the effect 1592U89 has on the levels of HIV in the blood.

Full description

This is an open-label, non-randomized study. All patients will be treated with 1592U89. Additionally, since optimal therapy usually includes the combined use of 2 or more antiretroviral agents in advanced patients, other novel antiretroviral therapies may be accessed through commercial means or via compassionate use programs. NOTE: 1592U89 should not be administered as a single new agent added to a failing treatment regimen.

Inclusion Criteria

Concurrent Medication:

Allowed:

  • Erythropoietin, granulocyte colony stimulating factor and granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor, for the management of hematologic toxicity.

Patients must have:

  • Documented HIV infection.
  • High risk for disease progression or mortality as defined by either of the following:
  • Viral load > 100,000 copies/ml and CD4 cells < 15% of total lymphocyte count despite at least 4 weeks of therapy with commercially available antiretrovirals or as a result of no therapy due to treatment-limiting toxicity of ZDV, 3TC, and ddI; or HIV-associated encephalopathy refractory to ZDV-containing regimen.
  • No access to any 1592U89 pediatric study where the patient could qualify for inclusion.
  • Parent or legal guardian with the ability to understand and provide written consent for the patient to participate in the trial. Study patients over 13 years should also give written informed consent whenever possible.

  • Renal failure requiring dialysis.
  • Hepatic failure evident by Grade 3 or 4 hyperbilirubinemia and AST > 10 X upper limits of normal.
  • Life-threatening infection or other chronic disease that may interfere with taking 1592U89 or compromise the patient's safety.
