Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of zidovudine (ZDV) and lymphoblastoid interferon (IFN)-alpha combination therapy compared with ZDV monotherapy in HIV-infected subjects with CD4+ cell counts between 150 and 500 x 10(6)/l.Design: Open, randomized controlled trial with subjects stratified by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) 1986 classification of HIV disease (group II/III or IV). The study was amended to a sequential design in February 1992 to allow interim analyses to be conducted.Setting: Outpatient clinics in 45 hospitals in Europe, Australia and Canada.Participants: A total of 402 previously untreated subjects with symptomatic HIV infection (CDC group IV) and CD4+ count 150-500x10(6)/l or asymptomatic HIV infection (CDC group II/III) with CD4+ count 150-350 x 10(6)/l.Interventions: ZDV 250 mg twice daily with or without 3 MU subcutaneous injections of lymphoblastoid IFN-alpha three times per week.Main outcome measures: Time to development of a study endpoint defined as: progression from CDC group II/III to group IV, group IV non-AIDS to AIDS, or group IV AIDS to a second AIDS-defining condition; also CD4+ count to
