A Pharmacokinetic Interaction Study Between TMC435, Atorvastatin and Simvastatin in Healthy Participants

March 1, 2013 updated by: Janssen Research & Development, LLC

A Phase I, 2-Panel, Open-Label Study in Healthy Subjects to Investigate the Pharmacokinetic Interaction Between TMC435 and the HMG-CoA Reductase Inhibitors Atorvastatin and Simvastatin

The purpose of this study is to evaluate effects of steady-state concentrations (constant concentration of medication in the blood) of TMC435 on the single dose pharmacokinetics (what the body does to the medication) of atorvastatin, the active metabolites ortho- and parahydroxylated atorvastatin, simvastatin and the active metabolite simvastatin acid. Plasma hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitory activity after a single dose of atorvastatin or simvastatin, either alone or in combination with TMC435 will be also evaluated.

Detailed Description

This is a Phase I, 2-panel, open-label (all people know the identity of the intervention) study in healthy participants to investigate the pharmacokinetic interaction between TMC435 and the HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors atorvastatin and simvastatin. The study consists of a screening period (21 days prior to the first intake of study medication), a 17-day treatment period and a 5-7 days follow-up period. Approximately thirty six healthy participants will be equally divided to 2 panels (n=18 per panel). Within each panel all participants will receive the same treatments in the same order. In Panel 1, each participant will be administered a single oral 40-mg atorvastatin dose on Day 1 and Day 13. The participants will receive TMC435 at a dose of 150 mg once daily from Day 4 until Day 15. In Panel 2, each participant will be administered a single oral 40-mg simvastatin dose on Day 1 and Day 13. TMC435 at a dose of 150 mg will be administered once daily from Day 4 until Day 15. Treatment duration (including Day -1) will be 17 days for both panels (Panel 1 and Panel 2). Safety and tolerability will be evaluated throughout the study.

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.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

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.

Ages Eligible for Study
