New drug cocktail aims to rescue HIV patients when other treatments fail
NCT ID NCT00196625
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a combination of three HIV drugs (amprenavir, lopinavir, and ritonavir) in patients whose current treatments are no longer working. The goal is to see if this new mix can lower the amount of HIV in the blood over 26 weeks. Participants are HIV-positive adults who have tried multiple previous therapies without success. The study compares two different doses of ritonavir to find the safest and most effective option.
