We compared the activity of delavirdine (DLV) plus zidovudine (AZT)
(n = 300) with that of AZT (n = 297)
against human immunodeficiency virus type 1 in a randomized,
double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. DLV exerted a transient
antiviral effect, and mutations for resistance to DLV were found in
more than 90% of subjects at week 12. The K103N mutation, which
confers nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor cross-resistance,
was found in 85% of the patients.
