HIV Infections
Conditions
Brief summary
To evaluate the antiretroviral activity and safety of 200 mg BID and 300 mg BID doses of MPC-4326 administered as monotherapy for 14 days to HIV-1 positive patients. Patients with an initial treatment response will have the option to continue MPC-4326 in combination with an Optimized Backround Regimen for a maximum of 72 weeks.
Interventions
Patients will be treated with MPC-4326 200mg monotherapy for 14 days. Once the Day 15 viral load results become available, patients, who achieve at least a 0.5 log10 reduction in viral load by Day 15 will have the option to continue on both MPC-4326 and an optimized background regimen (OBR) through Week 72.
