The Safety and Effectiveness of Zidovudine (AZT) in the Treatment of HIV Infection in Patients With AIDS and Advanced ARC

Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
HIV Infections
Registration Number
NCT00000999
Lead Sponsor
National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID)
Brief Summary

To obtain information about the long-term safety and toxicity of zidovudine (AZT). To ascertain whether interruption/resumption at a lower dosage is the optimal management of AZT toxicity.

Because of the high incidence of toxicity and the relatively short-term follow-up of the patients due to the early ending of the Phase II placebo-controlled experiment, it is valuable to continue to get information on the long-term toxicity of AZT.

Detailed Description

Because of the high incidence of toxicity and the relatively short-term follow-up of the patients due to the early ending of the Phase II placebo-controlled experiment, it is valuable to continue to get information on the long-term toxicity of AZT.

This study provides AZT for 6 months to AIDS patients who were previously enrolled in the AZT Treatment IND protocol and to patients who qualify for AZT under the drug labeling. Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 regimens for management of toxicity.
