Plasma and Intracellular Concentrations of Raltegravir and Etravirine Administered Once Daily (RAET)

February 7, 2011 updated by: Hospitales Universitarios Virgen del Rocío

Plasma and Intracellular Concentrations of Raltegravir and Etravirine Administered Once Daily (800 mg and 400 mg, Respectively) Compared With Standard Dosing (400 mg and 200 mg/12 h) in Patients With HIV Infection

Hypothesis: the intracellular concentrations of raltegravir (RAL) and etravirine (ETV) administrated as 800 and 400 mg once a day, respectively, are similar to those obtained with the standard doses of 400 and 200 mg/12h, respectively.

Objective: To analyze the plasma and intracellular concentrations of RAL and ETV administrated as 800 and 400 mg once daily respectively compared with standard doses of 400 and 200 mg/12h, respectively, and if they support its once daily administration.

Detailed Description

Objective: To analyze the plasma and intracellular concentrations of RAL and ETV administrated as 800 and 400 mg once daily respectively compared with standard doses of 400 and 200 mg/12h, respectively, and if they support its once daily administration.

Method: Phase IV, prospective, open labelled clinical trial with a planned duration of 24 weeks in which 16 patients from Hospitales Universitarios Virgen del Rocío will be enrolled. A 12 hours pharmacokinetic profile (immediately before and after 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 h) will be obtained after a supervised drug intake while taking RAL or ETV bid. Afterwards,the patients will take RAL or ETV once a day for 7 - 10 days. Subsequently, a new pharmacokinetic profile (predose and after 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 20 and 24 h after a supervised drug intake) will be obtained.
