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.

    • Are breast-feeding

  3. Use of any medication listed in the protocol within 30 days prior to Day 0 (Visit 2)
  4. Use of any other pharmacological contraceptive (including oral, patch or injectable contraceptives) for 1 month prior to study initiation and for the duration of the study
  5. Administration of antibiotics within 10 days prior to Day 0 (Visit 2) or during the trial
  6. History of central nervous system (CNS), gastrointestinal, hepatic, or renal disorders within the past sixty (60) days. Subjects will be excluded for these disorders greater than sixty days if, in the opinion of the investigator, the subject does not qualify as a healthy volunteer

  8. History of migraine headache
  9. Have serological evidence of hepatitis B or C virus
  10. Have serological evidence of exposure to HIV
  11. Recent history of alcohol or substance abuse (within 6 months of study period)

  14. Subjects with a seated systolic blood pressure either <100 mm Hg or >150 mm Hg; resting heart rate either <50 beats/min or >90 beats/min. For subjects with a resting heart rate below 50, due to a high fitness level, the investigator may discuss exclusion with the medical monitor on a case-by-case basis
  15. Subjects with a history of any illness or allergy that, in the opinion of the investigator, might confound the results of the study or pose additional risk in administering Tipranavir, Ritonavir or NET/EE to the subject
  16. Subjects who have had an acute illness within 2 weeks prior to Day 0 (Visit 2)
  17. Subjects who are currently taking any over-the-counter drug within 7 days prior to Day 0,(Visit 2) or who are currently taking any prescription drug that, in the opinion of the investigator in consultation with the clinical monitor, might interfere with either the absorption, distribution or metabolism of the test substances

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date.
