A Study of Tucaresol in HIV-Infected Patients Who Are Taking Other Anti-HIV Drugs
Status unconfirmed · Phase 1
Conditions studied: HIV Infections
In brief
The purpose of this study is to see if it is safe to give tucaresol to HIV-infected patients who are taking combination anti-HIV therapy (HAART). This study also examines the effect tucaresol has on viral load (level of HIV in the body) when tucaresol is used with HAART.
