RandomizedParallel-groupDouble-blindPrevention

Summary

The purpose of the study was to test the equivalence of a short zidovudine (ZDV) regimen as compared to a longer, ACTG-076-like, ZDV regimen in reducing the risk of mother-to-child transmission of HIV: and to assess and compare the safety and tolerance of the long and shortened ZDV regimens.

paper At the first interim analysis, the rates of HIV transmission were 4.1 percent for the long-long regimen and 10.5 percent for the short-short regimen (P=0.004). PMID 11018164 ↗
