Summary: ISENTRESS A (raltegravir), an integrase inhibitor from Merck Sharpe & Dohme (MSD) was as effective as efavirenz at maintaining viral load suppression to undetectable levels (less than 50 copies/mL) and at improving CD4 counts in previously untreated (treatment-naE[macron]ve) patients through 144 weeks in a Phase II study still underway.
Drug-related adverse effects were also significantly fewer in patients treated with Isentress (44 percent) than with efavirenz (77 percent), the researchers told the 48th annual Interscience Conference on Antimicrobial Agents held this weekend in Washington.
