Pharmacokinetic Interaction Between Nevirapine and Saquinavir-sgc in HIV-1 Infected Patients

July 11, 2014 updated by: Boehringer Ingelheim

An Investigation of the Potential Pharmacokinetic Interaction Between Nevirapine (VIRAMUNE®) and Saquinavir-sgc (Fortovase®) in HIV-1 Infected Patients

The objectives of this study are to determine the effects of nevirapine on the steady-state pharmacokinetics of saquinavir-sgc and to determine the effects of saquinavir-sgc on the steady-state pharmacokinetics of nevirapine. This study will also evaluate the pharmacokinetics of nevirapine in combination with saquinavir-sgc compared to historical controls treated with nevirapine but without saquinavir-sgc.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.

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.

Study Type

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

18 years to 65 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Maximum observed concentration (Cmax)
Time Frame: up to 12 hours post-dose on days 1 and 28
up to 12 hours post-dose on days 1 and 28
Time of maximum concentration (Tmax)
Time Frame: up to 12 hours post-dose on days 1 and 28
up to 12 hours post-dose on days 1 and 28
Minimum observed concentration (Cmin)
Time Frame: up to 12 hours post-dose on days 1 and 28
up to 12 hours post-dose on days 1 and 28
Area under the plasma concentration time profile over the steady-state dosing interval (AUCτ)
Time Frame: up to 12 hours post-dose on days 1 and 28
up to 12 hours post-dose on days 1 and 28

up to 12 hours post-dose on days 1 and 28

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.

Time Frame: up to 28 days
up to 28 days
Change in HIV RNA levels
Time Frame: Baseline and day 28
