Phase I Rising Dose Tolerability Study of SC-48334 in Patients With Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) and Advanced AIDS Related Complex

Summary

To determine the following about the use of SC-48334 in patients with AIDS and advanced AIDS related complex (ARC): 1\. The largest maximum tolerated dose (MTD); 2. Effectiveness against HIV; 3. Pharmacokinetics - how fast SC-48334 reaches the bloodstream, what concentration is reached, and how long it remains in the patient's blood. SC-48334 is a chemical that prevents the biochemical actions of certain enzymes in the body, and recent studies have shown that it may also prevent the activity of HIV. The study will attempt to show whether SC-48334 can safely and effectively break the cycle of HIV infection in AIDS and advanced ARC by progressively eliminating HIV.
