HIV drug Kaletra proves effective in 5-year study

September 16, 2003

BY FRANCINE KNOWLES Business Reporter

Patients using Abbott Laboratories' HIV treatment drug Kaletra achieved and maintained undetectable levels of the virus in a five-year study and didn't develop resistance to treatment.

The data demonstrate that undetectable virus levels can be maintained when Kaletra is given in combination with two other HIV drugs, North Chicago-based Abbott said in releasing the study Monday at a conference of the American Society of Microbiology in Chicago.

The study of 100 patients showed that of the 68 patients who remained on the treatment for 252 weeks and took the medication as an initial treatment, 67 had undetectable levels of the virus.
