title: Long-term pharmacokinetics of amprenavir in combination with delavirdine in HIV-infected children.
abstract: Five heavily pretreated HIV-infected children were put on amprenavir and delavirdine plus two nucleoside inhibitors to reverse transcriptase to boost amprenavir levels and to use the antiretroviral activity of a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor. No data are available about this combination in children. It w;as well tolerated, and the median reduction in viral load was 1.5 log after 18 months. Delavirdine boosted amprenavir trough levels more than 10-fold, and delavirdine trough levels remained i several fold above susceptible HIV strains.
