DDI is the most widely tested of a variety of new medicines being designed to combat the AIDS virus. It has been used experimentally by more than 15,000 people. Bristol-Myers Squibb plans to ask for Food and Drug Administration approval to sell it later this year.

The 43 children, who ranged from 3 months to 18 years, all showed symptoms of their infections. Six died during the study. Two developed pancreas complications, which also has been the major side effect of DDI in adults.

Sixteen of the children already had received AZT, the only drug approved to fight the AIDS virus. After 24 weeks on DDI, levels of virus in the children's bodies tell 72 percent, while blood cells that are the primary target of the virus increased 50 percent.
AIDS drug may benefit children
BOSTON — The experimental medicine DDI is likely to become a widely used therapy for children who are infected with the AIDS virus, according to a new report.
The drug, which already has been used extensively in adults, sharply reduced levels of the virus and allowed patients to resume therapy.
One step ahead!
"These data confirm that DDI is an important part of the anti-retroviral repertoire," said researchers from the National Cancer Institute.

The study, directed by Karina Butler, was conducted on 43 children who were infected with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. The results were published in today's New England Journal of Medicine.
