简要总结

To evaluate the safety and tolerance of long-term ganciclovir (DHPG) therapy for newly diagnosed macular threatening Cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis in AIDS patients. To evaluate the clinical response to a 52 week course of intravenous DHPG therapy. To evaluate the safety and tolerance of long-term DHPG with concurrent treatment with zidovudine (AZT). (Patients utilizing treatment with other anti-retroviral drugs will be considered for study entry on a case by case basis.) To determine survival in this group of patients with AIDS and CMV retinitis.

  • Topical acyclovir.
  • Selected cytokines.
  • Allowed after the first 4 weeks of ganciclovir:
  • Zidovudine (AZT) at a reduced dose (500 mg/day) in patients who have tolerated ganciclovir without grade 3/4 hematological toxicity.
  • Other anti-retrovirals after consultation with the Syntex study monitor.
  • Patients must have the following:
  • AIDS and newly diagnosed Cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis.
  • An understanding of the nature of the study, agreement to its provisions, and willingness to sign the informed consent approved by the appropriate institutions review board, and Syntex.

排除标准

  • Co-existing Condition:
  • Patients with the following conditions or symptoms are excluded:

  • Ocular media opacities (corneal, lenticular, or vitreal) preventing ophthalmologic retinal assessment.
  • Ocular conditions requiring immediate surgical correction (eg:
  • retinal tear or detachment).
  • Demonstrated hypersensitivity to acyclovir or ganciclovir.
  • Dementia, decreased mentation or other encephalopathic signs and symptoms which would interfere with the ability of the patient to comply with the protocol.
  • Concurrent Medication:
  • Antimetabolites.
  • Alkylating agents.
  • Nucleoside analogs (excluding selected anti-retroviral agents).
  • Imipenem-cilastatin.
  • Interferons.
  • Selected cytokines.
  • Acyclovir (except topical acyclovir).
  • Patients with the following are excluded:
  • Have only peripheral CMV retinitis (defined as a lesion outside the major temporal vascular arcades, greater than 1500 microns from the optic disk or greater than 3000 microns from the fovea).
  • Concomitant conditions or diseases described in Exclusion Co-Existing Conditions.
  • Prior Medication:
  • Excluded within 1 month of study entry:
  • Previous treatment with anti-cytomegalovirus therapy (e.g., ganciclovir, foscarnet or CMV hyperimmune globulin).
