TI "Medical Briefs" AU Scarsella, Anthony SO Advocate (12/28/93) No. 645, P. 36 AB Aztec, a new AZT-based AIDS drug manufactured by Vertex Laboratories Inc., will enter a Phase II double-blind randomized study with AZT at several sites across the country. Aztec is unique in that it requires a twice-daily dose of a controlled-release formulation that has proven to be more tolerable and have fewer side effects than the immediate-release formulation that is currently available.
