Abstract

Purpose: With reference to the clinical need for simple, potent and safe antiretroviral regimens, Lopinavir/ ritonavir + tenofovir (LPV/r+TDF) two-drug initial regimen was studied for efficacy and safety in HIV-infected patients. Methods: Kalead was a prospective, randomized, open-label, 72-week trial comparing LPV/r+TDF versus LPV/r + two (non-TDF) NRTIs in HIV-infected adults with HIV-RNA >400 copies/mL and any CD4 count. Primary endpoint was the proportion of subjects with HIV-RNA
