In the last 36 months, the UPR Adult ACTU has participated in 18 different ACTG trials. A total of 231 new patients have been accrued to participate in studies and sub-studies. All of the patients are Hispanics and are stratified as follows: 36 percent females, 65 percent males, 21.6 percent Injection Drug Users (IDU). The UPR Adult ACTU plans for immediate research in collaboration with the Pharmacy Research Section to perform Phase I and II pharmacokinetic (PK) and intracellular concentration trials, as well as clinical trials in naive and heavily pre-treated individuals, women and IDUs.
