Dexelvucitabine is a failed experimental agent for the management of human immunodeficiency virus infection. It is a cytidine nucleoside analog and nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor. [1] that inhibits HIV-1 replication in vitro. During phase II clinical trials there was some indication of a decreased mean viral load in patients with infected human immunodeficiency virus. [2] [3]
On April 3, 2006, Pharmasset and Incyte, the pharmaceutical companies developing dexelvucitabine, announced the decision to cease further trials and development of the drug due to an increased incidence of grade 4 hyperlipasemia (an excess of the pancreatic enzyme lipase in the bloodstream) in a phase II trial.
