|---|---|
| Main Objective: To know the security and tolerability of Trizivir in patients with liver cirrhosis secondary to hepatitis C infection in HIV infected patients who receive a stable highly active antiretroviral therapy based on two NRTI+PI or NNRTI. To investigate if the switch to Trizivir decreases the risk of progression of the hepatic illness without increasing the risk of progression of the HIV-1 infection in patients with HIV-1 infection and liver cirrhosis secondary to Hepatitis C coinfection who receive a stable highly active antiretroviral therapy based on two NRTI+PI or NNRTI. ;Secondary Objective: To compare the frecuency and the time until the apareance of adverse events and/or withdrawls between both groups of treatment. To compare among both groups of treatment the number of patients that progress to C category of the CDC classification system for HIV-infected patients. To measure and to compare the frequency of patients with indetectable viral load (ARN VIH <50 c /ml) at month 24. To measure the changes from baseline in CD4 cell count through 24 months and to compare them among the two groups of treatment. To measure laboratory changes from baseline through 24 months and to compare them among the two groups of treatment. To measure the changes on Child-Pugh and on Meld classification from baseline through the 24 months. To measure changes in the viral load of HCV from baseline through the month 24. To know the correlation between the phamacokinetic levels of zidovudine, lamivudine and abacavir (Trizivir) and the Child-Pugh score. ;Primary end point(s): Proportion of adverse events and/or withdrawls due to trizivir treatment. | — |
