Rosuvastatin Versus Pravastatin in HIV Patients Treated With Boosted Protease Inhibitors (PI) (ANRS126)

CompletedPhase 4

Sponsor: French National Agency for Research on AIDS and Viral Hepatitis

Conditions: Hyperlipidemia, HIV Infections

Interventions: Pravastatin, Rosuvastatin

Countries: France

In HIV hypercholesterolemic patients treated with protease inhibitors, some drugs of the statin group are used to control cholesterol level. New and potentially more efficient statins may interfere with protease inhibitors and hence loose a part of their activity. They have thus to be compared with a more established drug of the same class (e.g. pravastatin). The protocol compares the efficacy and safety of rosuvastatin and pravastatin.
