Another protease inhibitor proves highly effective

Posit Aware. 1996 Sep-Oct;7(5):11.

Abstract

AIDS: Nelfinavir (Viracept) is a well-tolerated and effective protease inhibitor, especially when used in combination with nucleoside analogues. When used in triple combination, it is even more effective. An ongoing trial showed that 11 patients showed no detectable level of virus after 12 weeks, and after 20 weeks, there were no new HIV-related infections in the group. The trial is continuing.
