Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
Patients participating in ESPRIT and randomised to the rIL-2 arm, who:

1. Are not at CD4+ T-cell target for the protocol

2. Have not received rIL-2 for > 2 months

3. Have reported both GI upset and constitutional side-effects as one of the reasons for
either dose modifying in prior cycles or unwillingness to receive further rIL-2

4. Are considered by the Investigator as medically safe to receive further dosing with
rIL-2

5. Are willing to receive further dosing with rIL-2 at the dose specified by the
Investigator

Key exclusion criteria
1. All exclusions for the receipt of rIL-2 on ESPRIT

2. Known allergy to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), opiates, 5HT-3
(serotonin-3) inhibitors, anti-dopaminergic antiemetics, or any other components of
the proposed adjunct regimens.

Summary
Brief summary
This substudy is an open-label, randomised study comparing the uptake of recombinant
interleukin-2 (rIL-2) in HIV-1 infected individuals receiving different combinations of
antiemetics and analgesic agents during rIL-2 dosing in ESPRIT. The design is a factorial one
with 4 arms. All patients will receive regular ibuprofen and paracetamol from days 1-6 of the
rIL-2 dosing cycle; in addition, patients will be randomised to receive one of two antiemetic
combinations, i.e. ondansetron or metoclopramide with or without low dose codeine phosphate
as an additional analgesic agent.
