The Spring 1992 edition of the Community Consortium's
Directory of HIV Clinical Trials in the Bay Area is now
available. It lists 85 trials, for the following conditions:
Anal cancer, Bronchitis, Cryptococcal meningitis,
Cryptosporidiosis, CMV retinitis, Fungal infections, Herpes,
Herpes zoster, Histoplasmosis, HIV, Kaposi's sarcoma, Lymphoma

relief (including headache), Peripheral neuropathy, Pneumocystis,
Septra (Bactrim) side effects, Syphilis, Thrush, Toxoplasmosis,
Tuberculosis, and Weight loss/diarrhea.

This directory is excellent in its organization and
presentation of the information, and could serve as a model for
similar listings of clinical trials. It includes an introduction
to clinical trials, brief instructions on how to use the
directory, table of contents, trial finder by condition and
drug(s) being tested, listings of the trials (including title,
purpose, background, requirements, and locations), common
questions about clinical trials, how to enroll, women and
clinical trials, injection drug users and clinical trials, list
of trial sites, Community Consortium site and physician list,
resource list for AIDS information, glossary, and index.
