Trial Information
Summary: OPTIONS Study: A Study of Three Delivery Mechanisms for Fuzeon.
Status: No longer recruiting
Protocol Number: ML19233
Sponsor: Hoffmann-La Roche
Company Division: Pharmaceutical
Official Scientific Title: A study to evaluate the effect of three different delivery mechanisms for Fuzeon on injection site reactions.
Brief Summary: This study will determine whether different mechanisms of delivering Fuzeon have an impact on injection site reactions. HIV-infected adults currently receiving Fuzeon will be randomized to receive Fuzeon 90mg bid sc by a)27 gauge needle b)31 gauge needle or c)Bioject 2000 needle-free device for the first 12 weeks of the study. For weeks 12-24, patients may choose to remain on the randomized arm or may elect to receive one of the other delivery methods. The anticipated time on study treatment is 3-12 months, and the target sample size is <100 individuals. Target sample size is 60.
