Summary

This study tested whether adding a powerful HIV drug called FUZEON® to standard antiretroviral therapy could help people with HIV who have a rare brain infection called PML. PML is caused by the JC virus and usually affects people with weak immune systems. The study included 30 adults in France and followed them for one year to see if the stronger drug combination could stop the brain infection from getting worse and improve survival.
