... Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Thailand of 393 mother/infant pairs showed that a short course of oral ZDV could reduce HIV-1 transmission by about 50% over a placebo -- to an overall rate of 10% -- in a non-breastfeeding population (CDC, UNAIDS, NIH, and NRS, 1998; Shaffer et al., 1999) .1 As a result, HIVNET 012 researchers formally dropped the placebo arms in a letter of amendment 1The target sample size of 392 women had the ability to detect a 50% reduction in transmission risk -- from 24% to 12% -- with 80% power and a Type I error rate of 5% (Shaffer et al., 1999)

... Positive test results were confirmed by a quantitative HIV-1 RNA PCR assay3 or HIV-1 culture on a second blood sample. For infants who tested positive for HIV-1, the quantitative HIV-1 RNA PCR assay was performed at each scheduled 2A Phase IIb trial is sometimes viewed as an intermediate safety and efficacy trial.

... in response to findings in other studies that some women could develop viral resistance to NVP, and that some children treated with various antiretroviral drugs in utero or perinatally could possibly experience mitochondrial toxicity. The modification entailed extending follow-up of women in the NVP arm and all children in the 18-month study to 5 years, with yearly evaluations for NVP resistance in women who had received NVP (HIVNET 012 Investigators, 2000)

... This paper analyzed adverse events and serious adverse events more completely, reporting that both types of events among mothers up to 56 days were balanced between the study arms. Three deaths occurred among women assigned to the ZDV arm, but all were judged related to complications of HIV-1 infection.
