Labriola, Ph.D., Dianne Farina, Ph.D., Douglas J. Manion, M.D., Nancy M. Ruiz, M.D., for The Study 006 Team
Background Efavirenz is a nonnucleoside reverse-transcriptaseinhibitor of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). Wecompared two regimens containing efavirenz, one with a proteaseinhibitor and the other with two nucleoside reverse-transcriptaseinhibitors, with a standard three-drug regimen.
Methods The study subjects were 450 patients who had not previouslybeen treated with lamivudine or any nonnucleoside reverse-transcriptaseinhibitor or protease inhibitor. In this open-label study, patientswere randomly assigned to one of three regimens: efavirenz (600mg daily) plus zidovudine (300 mg twice daily) and lamivudine(150 mg twice daily); the protease inhibitor indinavir (800mg every eight hours) plus zidovudine and lamivudine; or efavirenzplus indinavir (1000 mg every eight hours).
Results Suppression of plasma HIV-1 RNA to undetectable levelswas achieved in more patients in the group given efavirenz plusnucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitors than in the groupgiven indinavir plus nucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitors(70 percent vs. 48 percent, P<0.001). The efficacy of theregimen of efavirenz plus indinavir was similar (53 percent)to that of the regimen of indinavir, zidovudine, and lamivudine.CD4 cell counts increased significantly with all combinations(range of increases, 180 to 201 cells per cubic millimeter).More patients discontinued treatment because of adverse eventsin the group given indinavir and two nucleoside reverse-transcriptaseinhibitors than in the group given efavirenz and two nucleosidereverse-transcriptase inhibitors (43 percent vs. 27 percent,P=0.005).
Conclusions As antiretroviral therapy in HIV-1–infectedadults, the combination of efavirenz, zidovudine, and lamivudinehas greater antiviral activity and is better tolerated thanthe combination of indinavir, zidovudine, and lamivudine.
