Popis: Item does not contain fulltext OBJECTIVE: To compare two reduced dose indinavir (IDV) + ritonavir (RTV) combinations guided by therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) in treatment-naive HIV1-infected patients. METHODS: HIV1-infected treatment naive patients were prospectively randomized to treatment with IDV 600 mg or 400 mg BID each in combination with RTV 100 mg BID. Boosted IDV was combined with 2 NRTI, and patients were followed for 48 weeks. IDV-trough levels and initially also peak levels (C2h) were performed to allow dose modification of IDV following a specified protocol. RESULTS: 14 patients were randomized (age 38 +/- 10.4 years; mean +/- SD; 3 female, 11 male). 8 were treated with 600 mg (group 1), 6 with 400 mg IDV BID (group 2). Efficacy of treatment was good: CD4-cell count increased from 198/microl (14-523; median, range) to 371/microl (214-927) after 48 weeks (p
