A Study of Valacyclovir Hydrochloride in the Prevention of Life-Threatening Cytomegalovirus Disease in HIV-Infected Patients PRIMARY: To evaluate the efficacy of valacyclovir hydrochloride (BW 256U87) in the prevention of cytomegalovirus (CMV) end-organ disease in HIV/CMV co-infected patients with CD4+ lymphocytes < 100 cells/mm3. To assess the impact of BW 256U87, high-dose oral acyclovir and low-dose oral acyclovir on survival. SECONDARY: To evaluate the effect of BW 256U87 on quality of life, the safety of the drug administered concurrently with standard antiretroviral agents and other essential therapies for the treatment and prevention of opportunistic diseases, and the efficacy of BW 256U87 in suppressing activation of other herpesviruses. To evaluate serologic and virologic risk factors for the development of CMV disease, including assessment of HIV activation, and the risk of developing drug-resistant CMV, HSV, and VZV. Gastrointestinal absorption of acyclovir is not high enough to prevent CMV disease in patients with advanced HIV disease, although there is evidence that high doses of the drug may extend survival. Valacyclovir, a prodrug that is rapidly converted to acyclovir after oral administration, has a higher absorption rate and may therefore provide inhibitory activity against CMV.

Prospective Registry of European Hemophilia B Patients Receiving BeneFIX® for Usual Use This is an open-label multi-center Registry in patients with hemophilia B receiving BeneFIX. All patients who begin treatment with BeneFIX in European Union countries, will be eligible for participation. Patient demographics will be collected at baseline for all patients. A baseline FIX activity and Bethesda assay for inhibitor based on historical data should be recorded if available. Adverse events as defined in the protocol will also be reported on the appropriate forms. Data will be collected from patients on an ongoing basis to ensure that information is being captured for each patient being treated with BeneFIX.
