Keiser and colleagues from the Southwestern Medical center in Dallas reported on their findings in an open label trial comparing ddI given once or twice a day. The patients were nucleoside analog experienced and had median viral loads greater than 100,000 copies/ml. Changes in viral load were comparable between the two groups at about one half log at 8 weeks. One person in the bid group developed pancreatitis, and 3 qd patients complained of gi intolerance and stopped medication. 5/8 patients in each arm were judged to be adherent to the study regimen.
