Dexelvucitabine is a failed experimental agent for the treatment of HIV. Dexelvucitabine is a cytidine nucleoside analog and nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor. It was found to inhibit HIV-1 replication in vitro and during Phase II clinical trials, it was found to decrease mean viral load in patients with HIV.
On April 3, 2006, Pharmasset and Incyte Corporation, 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 in a phase II trial.
