Evaluating the Safety and Tolerability of Etravirine in HIV-1 Infected Infants and Children

Summary

Non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) are widely used as part of combination antiretroviral therapy (ART) for infants and children, but NNRTI resistance is increasing, leading to treatment failure. This study tested the safety, tolerability, and dosing levels of etravirine (ETR), a new NNRTI.
