Safety and Immune Response to Vicriviroc in Combination Regimens in HIV-Infected ART Experienced Children and Adolescents

Completed · Phase 1/Phase 2

Conditions studied: HIV Infections

In brief

Complications with current HIV antiretroviral therapy have left many children and adolescents with limited therapeutic options due to drug resistance. The purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness and safety of Vicriviroc (VCV), an HIV entry inhibitor and CCR5 co-receptor antagonist.
