Itraconazole Pharmacokinetic With and Without Efavirenz Using the Capsule Formulation as Part of Talaromycosis Treatment in HIV-infected Adults (ITRAPK)

July 22, 2019 updated by: Quanhathai Kaewpoowat, Chiang Mai University

Assessment of Itraconazole Pharmacokinetic With and Without Efavirenz Using the Capsule Formulation as Part of Talaromycosis Treatment in HIV-infected Adults

Talaromycosis continues to be a common opportunistic fungal infection among people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) in Southeast Asia and remains a leading cause of death among this population. Itraconazole (ITZ) is an important component of talaromycosis treatment. In Thailand, the capsule formulation of ITZ is primarily used to treat talaromycosis but it is known to have lower bioavailability than the more expensive solution formulation. Limited data on the drug exposure of ITZ with the capsule formulation are available in adults PLWHA in Thailand. Moreover, the effect of efavirenz (EFV), which has been recommended as the first line antiretroviral therapy in Thailand, to ITZ level is not well understood. Thus, our aim is to assess ITZ pharmacokinetics with and without EFV in adult PLWHA receiving talaromycosis treatment with the capsule formulation. An understanding of the relationship between ITZ drug exposure and its active metabolite (hydroxyl-itraconazole) and treatment response is also planned to help optimize therapy.

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

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 and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

HIV-infected participant who has an evidence of T. marneffei invasive infection will be enrolled to the study.

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. 18 years or older
  2. Available documentation of HIV infection
  3. ITZ capsule therapy is indicated for talaromycosis infection with the anticipation to start on EFV-based ART
  4. Willing to consent and compliance to the study protocol

Exclusion Criteria:

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort

Group / Cohort

A group or subgroup of participants in an observational study that is assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
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.
Intensive Pharmacokinetic Group
After receiving the first dose of ITZ, a single blood sample will be collected 12-hours post-dose. On Day 7, the blood will be collected for intensive PK study. After 7 days of combined ITZ + EFV, a blood sample will be collected immediately (e.g. within 30 minutes) prior to administering the next ITZ dose. An identical set of intensive PK blood samples will be drawn 2 weeks after initiating the EFV based regimen.
Other: Pharmacokinetic study
The blood will be collected at pre-dose and at 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 and 12-hour post dose
Trough Level Group
On Days 7 and 14, a single blood sample will be collected immediately (e.g. within 30 minutes) prior to administering the next ITZ dose. After initiating an EFV based regimen, a single blood sample will be collected immediately (e.g. within 30 minutes) prior to administering the next ITZ dose on Days 7 and 14.
Other: Pharmacokinetic study
The blood will be collected at pre-dose and at 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 and 12-hour post dose

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
Measure Description
Time Frame
Itraconazole and its metabolites level
Time Frame: 45 days
Itraconazole and its metabolite level will be measured to create drug level curve (before and after exposed to efavirenz)
