A Study of DPC 817 in HIV-Infected Males

July 18, 2005 updated by: Pharmasset

A Placebo-Controlled, Dose-Escalation Study in HIV-1 Infected Subjects to Characterize the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of Single Oral Doses of DPC 817

The purpose of this study is to evaluate DPC 817. The safety, dosages, and how the body responds to the drug will be studied.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

The study will consist of two parts. Patients in Part A will receive a single dose of DPC 817 on two separate occasions and a placebo (a solution or tablet without the drug) on one occasion. Patients in Part B will receive two separate doses of DPC 817. Patients will be admitted to the clinical study unit the day before dosing (Day -1) and remain there for at least 48 hours after taking the study drug. Patients will return to the clinical study unit on Day 8 and Day 28 following the dose in the last treatment period. During the study there will be medical and medication histories taken, physical examinations, vital sign measurements, and routine clinical laboratory tests.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.
