Outcome results

Primary

Change From Baseline in Plasma HIV RNA (log10 Copies/mL) at Week 24

Mean change from baseline at Week 24 in HIV RNA (log10 copies/mL) in all patients

Time frame: Baseline and Week 24

Population: Observed mean change from baseline in log10 Plasma HIV RNA for each group was calculated using the conventional imputation (replace HIV RNA \<400 copies/mL by 400 copies/mL if signal detected, or 200 copies/mL if signal not detected). Missing values: baseline-carry-forward for all failures or discontinued due to lack of efficacy
