Efficacy of enfuvirtide in patients infected with drug-resistant HIV-1 in Europe and Australia
Article Abstract:
The efficacy and safety of 24 weeks of treatment with the fusion inhibitor enfuvirtide in combination with an optimized background antiretroviral regimen was compared with the efficacy and safety of the optimized background regimen alone. It was concluded that the addition of enfuvirtide to an optimized background regimen provided significant viral suppression and immunologic benefit over a 24-week period in HIV-1-infected patients who had previously received multiple antiretroviral drugs.
