A Double-Blind Placebo Controlled Study To Determine the Optimal Immunopharmacological Dose Level of Isoprinosine in Immunodepressed Volunteers

This study has been completed.

Sponsored by:	Newport Pharmaceuticals International
Information provided by:	NIH AIDS Clinical Trials Information Service
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00002059

Purpose

The objective of this double-blind placebo-controlled study is to evaluate the effect of Isoprinosine in a group of homogenous male volunteers who present with immunologic defects relative to:

Comparison of total helper and suppressor T-cell number between the groups.
Comparison of the phytohemagglutinins (PHA) and concanavalin A lymphoproliferative response and natural killer (NK) cell activity between the groups.
Determination of the clinical course of the volunteers after discontinuance of Isoprinosine.
