Excellent short-term CD4 recovery with a PI- and NRTI-sparing regimen in triple-class failure HIV-infected patients: raltegravir, maraviroc, etravirine

Methods We decided to simultaneously screen triple class failing patients (pts) followed at San Raffaele Hospital in three Expanded Access Programs: raltegravir (MK0518-023), maraviroc (A4001050), etravirine (TMC125-C214). Salvage therapy was prescribed according to: viral tropism, screening genotype and previous resistance tests. Data were collected at baseline (BL) and at 4, 12, 24, 36 and 48 weeks. Generalized linear regression model was applied. Results are reported as median (Q1–Q3).
