Abstract Differences in virologic response were compared in 32 HIV-infected children with a nelfinavir trough concentration either below (n=7) or above (n=25) 0.8 mg/L. Virologic response at week 48 was observed in 29% of children with subtherapeutic nelfinavir troughs versus 80% in children with therapeutic nelfinavir troughs (P=.02)

Effect of concurrent zidovudine use on the resistance pathway selected by abacavir-containing regimens

2004

Authors: Lanier ER, Givens N, Stone C, et al.

Published in: HIV Med. 2004;5(6):394-399

Objectives Abacavir (ABC) selects for four mutations (K65R, L74V, Y115F and M184V) in HIV‐1 reverse transcriptase (RT), both in vitro and during monotherapy in vivo. The aim of this analysis was to compare the selection of these and other nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI)‐associated mutations by ABC‐containing therapies in the presence and absence of concurrent lamivudine (3TC) and/or zidovudine (ZDV) and to assess the effect of these mutations on phenotypic susceptibility to the NRTIs.
