Background: Antiretroviral regimens containing HIV protease inhibitors suppress viremia in HIV-infected patients, but the durability of this effect is not known.
Objective: To describe the 3-year follow-up of patients randomly assigned to receive indinavir, zidovudine, and lamivudine in an ongoing clinical trial.
Design: Open-label extension of a randomized, double-blind study.
Setting: Four clinical research units.
Patients: 33 HIV-infected, zidovudine-experienced patients with serum HIV RNA levels of at least 20 000 copies/mL and CD4 counts ranging from 50 to 400 cells/mm3.
Intervention: Indinavir, zidovudine, and lamivudine.
Measurements: Safety assessments, HIV RNA levels, CD4 cell counts, and genotypic analyses.
Results: After 3 years of follow-up, 21 of 31 contributing patients (68% [95% CI, 49% to 83%]) had serum viral load levels less than 500 copies/mL. Twenty of 31 (65% [CI, 45% to 80%]) had levels less than 50 copies/mL. The median increase in CD4 count from baseline was 230 cells/mm3 (interquartile range, 150 to 316 cells/mm3). Nephrolithiasis occurred in 12 of 33 patients (36%).
Conclusion: A three-drug regimen of indinavir, zidovudine, and lamivudine suppressed viremia in two thirds of patients for at least 3 years.
