Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - saquinavir 500 formulation
Treatment: Drugs - cross-over arm

Experimental: saquinavir at baseline - patients receiving NRTIs + saquinavir + ritonavir 1000/100 mg BID at entry switch from 200 mg SQV capsules to 500 mg SQV tablets following PK at day 0. After PK at day 8 NRTIs ceased and regimen changed to ATV/SQV/RTV 300/1500/100 QD using 500 mg SQV formulation and continued to week 48

Experimental: other boosted PI at baseline - Patients receiving NRTIs + PI/RTV randomised at baseline to receive ATV/SQVRTV 300/1500/100 QD using 500 mg SQV formulation or ATV/SQV/RTV 300/1600/100 QD using 200 mg formulation. Following PK at day 7, SQV formulation switched with second PK assessment at day 15. Patients then receive ATV/SQV/RTV 300/1500/100 QD to week 48.


Treatment: Drugs: saquinavir 500 formulation
NRTIs + SQV/RTV 1000/100 mg BID using 200 mg SQV capsules switched at entry to ATV/SQV/RTV 300/1500/100 mg QD using 500 mg SQV tablet for 48 weeks with PK at days 0 and 8.

Treatment: Drugs: cross-over arm
either ATV/SQV/RTV 300/1500/100 QD (500 mg SQV tabs) for 7 days then after PK SQV changed to 1600 mg QD (200 mg caps) with PK day 15, or ATV/SQV/RTV 300/1600/100 QD for 7 days with switch to SQV 1500 mg QD. After day 15 PK both groups switch to ATV/SQV/RTV 300/1500/100 QD to week 48
